What is .TEL ?

The .tel concept enables the user to store, update and publish contact information, web links and keywords directly on the Internet under a unique domain name. Simple, fast and accessible from any device (from a PC to a mobile phone), .tel domain names can be registered with EuroDNS and allow businesses and individuals to take full control over how and where people reach them. While the way .tel works does not allow the Customer to specify its own web site or name servers, it is a wonderful way to be reachable by friends or customers alike with unprecendented ease-of-use.

Watch .TEL in action!

A .tel domain name enables global discoverability in the first ‘live’, next-generation contacts directory, with keywords enhancing search engine optimization.

• integration of any and all means of communication (i.e. Phone numbers, IM, VOIP, email, social media)
• real-time publishing of your contact information on the internet
• full ownership of your published data
• protection of your private data, only viewable by people you authorize
• simple structured navigation to easily reach the most relevant information
• high speed global access optimized for mobile devices
• multi-language, search engine-friendly structured information and keywords

Take control thanks to .TEL

While your phone number, your email or address may change, your .tel remains the same. You can update and customize it so that anyone who knows your .tel name can reach you. tel service also lets users decide how much contact information they want to share and who they want to share it with. Unlike a phone book or a business card that can be outdated the minute someone moves or changes jobs, a .tel identity can be updated anytime.

A .tel Domain Name can display everything from a home or office phone number, to a mobile phone, email, Facebook, Twitter or any of the increasing number of ways people choose to stay in touch. The Domain name can also map your location, a plus for businesses that can direct customers straight to their door with nothing more than a .tel name.

Get your .TEL IDN

The IDN .tel is now avaliable and allows the registration of .tel domain names in sixteen different languages.

The IDNs give companies and individuals the chance to register domain names that contain non-Latin characters under the .tel domain. All registrations will be on a first-come, first served basis. One and two character IDN.tel domains will also be available.

The languages selected by tregistry Telnic are as follows: Chinese, Danish, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. More languages will follow based on demand and possibilities.
