.tel Names

A .tel name is a universally accessible point of contact that shows real-time information. It replaces your traditional business card and adds more contact types, such as instant messengers, VOIP calls, social and professional network profiles, etc.

With .tel domains, both businesses and individuals can get an online presence, find new clients, and stay in touch with their business partners and friends. A .tel name is one domain or sub-domain that represents a person or a company. All you need to know about Joe Plumber or MyCompany is on their .tel page. This provides the following advantages:

• Showcase yourself or your business: .tel gives you search engine optimized online presence without the need to create, host or maintain a website
• Never lose a sale or miss a call: with .tel, you are always in touch and accessible
• Save money on stationery and become more agile: keep your .tel in sync with changes to your contact details as your business or work-life changes
• Create your communications hub: use all the available contact types and keywords to describe yourself and add all the ways you can be reached
• Control your communication channels: using privacy settings, you can create 'friend groups' that can see secret contact details you allow them to see

These features enable you to create an effective and helpful .tel name - in your own .tel domain, or in a sub-domain of a greater listing. To effectively use all the functionality provided by .tel, consult the materials below.

Remember that with your own .tel name, you retain complete control over the published information and can keep it as up-to-date as you wish.
