All-United Cars uses Telnames .tel to help people get from A to B safely and quickly
Established in 1968, today All-United Cars is a Manchester-based taxi and private hire business that’s fast becoming one of the city’s leading cab companies. Covering the Greater Manchester area, the company offers taxi cars, mini bus hire and airport transfers. To give passengers complete peace of mind, the All-United fleet of over 70 vehicles are fitted with meters and GPS vehicle tracking, and all drivers are fully licensed and insured.
Today All-United Cars uses http://all-united.tel to ensure customers can contact them any time of the day or night by using their smartphone when they’re out and about on the town.


.Tel.us: What do you do?
Two years ago Harry Sharif took over All-United Cars. His vision was to create a highly responsive and professional private-hire taxi company that is fast, friendly and safe.
“Our operations are fully computerised and all our cars are metered and tracked – which means we can assure passengers they are in safe hands, whatever the time of day or night,” explains Harry.
Today the company is proud of the fact that 98 per cent of all customers who ring their booking team will be getting into an All-United Cars taxi within 10 minutes of placing that initial call.
“Our mission statement is ‘All-United, All-Efficient, All-Professional, All of the Time,’” confirms Harry.
The company has built a local reputation for reliable service. Customers regularly pre-book their holiday transfers to and from Manchester airport, and a number of local wedding organisers use All-United Cars to ensure the bridal party and their guests get to the venue in time and safely back to their hotel or home at the end of the celebrations.
.Tel us: Why do you use a Telnames .tel?
With more and more people searching for information online using their mobile phones, Harry knew it was important that the phone number for All-United Cars can be found quickly and easily, even when customers are on the move.
“Many of our customers are younger people who enjoy being a part of Manchester’s vibrant night life. They are smartphone savvy when it comes to searching local listings, which means we need to ensure our contact details can be found online in an instant,” he says.
The company’s http://all-united.tel mobile friendly website contains all the company’s essential contact information plus click-to-visit links to its Facebook page and Twitter feed.
“This is a competitive market and at the end of the day brand awareness is all. We want to be the first company that comes to mind when someone needs a taxi – then all they have to do is find our number online and place that call. We’ll do the rest.”
.Tel us: How has your Telnames .tel helped your business?
Creating a .tel online directory has made it even easier for people in Manchester to find out about All-United Cars and get in contact when they need a taxi.
“We’re using our Telnames .tel in conjunction with our Facebook and Twitter feeds to boost our SEO ranking and spread the word about special deals and offers,” explains Harry.
Located near Central Manchester University Hospital, All-United Cars offers discounted fares for NHS staff and students and promotes this and other offers via its social media links. It also regularly prompts people about key upcoming dates in the diary and the benefits of booking ahead of the crowds.
“We’ve run campaigns to encourage people to pre-book their transport in preparation for Mothering Sunday and the city’s St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations,” explains Harry. “We’ve also put out messages on big event days to remind people that even if they are out of minutes on their mobile phone, they can still Skype our booking line direct when they’re ready to go home.”
“In this day and age when all your customers have a smartphone, you’ve got to have a mobile friendly website that ensures anyone can find your number and make that call.”
Harry Sharif, Managing Director, All-United Cars

Life’s a Cabaret – an interview with Chris North

Using his finely tuned skills as a mind reader and mentalist, Chris North has built a reputation as one of the most creative professional entertainers on the circuit today. Having begun his showbiz career as an illusionist and magician – he first appeared in the TV talent show New Faces in 1978 – today he wows audiences in a variety of settings. He regularly performs at cabaret clubs, has made numerous television appearances worldwide, and has entertained on all the world’s major cruise liners. He’s also in demand as an ‘up close and personal’ performer at corporate events, trade shows and private functions. As you’d expect of someone who understands the power of communication, Chris has a Telnames .tel profile, so we spoke to him about his thoughts on how important it is for talented artists to get noticed and get recommended when it comes to keeping those work bookings coming in.
Tell us how social media has changed the way you reach audiences
When I first started out, it was all about sending your photo out to agents and waiting for the ‘phone to ring. But social media and digital communication has changed everything – today people want information fast, with no delays. They won’t leave a message and wait for you to call back. It’s why I created my website www.thementalist.co.uk where visitors can view videos of my performances and download all the promotional materials they need to make a decision about taking things to the next stage – booking my act. It’s also why I use Facebook and Twitter to promote my touring shows and boost ticket sales.
What attracted you to Telnames?
Having been in the business for many years, most agents know all about me. But I was really keen to set up http://chrisnorth.tel because it gave me an online performance CV that brings all my contact details together in one easy-to-access location. Now new and existing contacts can get an instant snapshot of all my online and social media links. With one click they can find out what I’ve been up to recently, get more details on my act, or simply get in touch with me direct. It was simple and fast to set up – and a real bonus as far as I’m concerned. Telnames makes it easy for any visitor to my .tel mobile website to share my details with other interested parties.
What tips do you have for others working in the entertainment business?
Keeping your name in the frame is the key to maintaining a regular stream of work. Recommendation is essential, especially when it comes to corporate gigs, so it pays to keep promoting your work and be visible and easy to find online. In the current economy, people working in the entertainment world have to keep chipping away at their own promotion – and make it easy for agents to tap into that promotional flow. From my perspective, social media is an easy and low cost way of creating a promotional wave that in the past would have cost a lot of money. It sounds obvious, but with a little creative thinking and effort you can control your professional profile and put your details in front of potential new audiences anywhere in the world.

Redirect of a .tel to a .com is possible

Redirect of a .tel to a .com is possible

It's working! Check it out: www.nic.tel

Technically it's very easy. You only have to exchange the name server of a .tel with the name server of the registrar.
After that you can set up an URL direct just like for any other domain in the world.
Currently all .tel are using the five name servers from Telnic called *0.cth.dns.nic.tel.
Telnic has an agreement with ICANN that forbids using URL redirects to other domains than .tel.
Because of that Telnic doesn't allow changing the name servers.

Telnic Eyes Opportunity in Enabling SoHo Businesses

By: Charles Laughlin 24 May 2012

London-based Telnic is carving out an interesting role for itself as an online enabler of small businesses. Telnic is the organization that offers the .tel top level domain, which for GBP 14.95 per year provides a simple Web presence that enables individuals and businesses to store all their contact information (email, Web address, social presence) in a single, searchable profile.
The company has developed this into an online presence product (branded Telnames) that is optimized for smartphones and is targeting (among others) the small-office, home office business.
Imagine the office manager by day, licensed hypnotherapist by evening and weekend, and there lies the SoHo opportunity. There are millions of these micro businesses around the world and they share some common traits. Most have only a crude Web presence, which is likely not mobile optimized. Many operate their businesses without a dedicated landline, and most are accustomed to using self-service, since they are too small or too hard to find to gain the additional of a live sales force. This is an area where Telnic is focused, for now in the U.K. Telnic has formed marketing partnerships, for example, with various small-business and professional societies in Britain in order to reach more of these small, independent businesses.
We recently caught up with Telnic CMO Ian Bowen-Morris. He believes the big shift to smartphone usage bodes well for a mobile-ready micro-presence product like .tel.
“Our view is that the huge growth in smartphone penetration and mobile searching presents an excellent opportunity for businesses to generate leads. What all businesses need is a simple place that they can point people to so they can be reached quickly from any device.
“A .tel name is very low cost. It’s easy to use and can be updated with a few clicks at any time. It is valuable as a stand-alone Web presence or a mobile-friendly enhancement to an existing Web presence,” Bowen-Morris said.
Bowen-Morris said he is in discussions with directory publishers in the U.K., and elsewhere, about using the Telnic API to build a custom branded environment for offering .tel as part of a presence bundle, or as part of a managed service, which could command a much higher price point for resellers. Through the API, publishers can register the .tel names and upload merchant business profile info. Bowen-Morris says next on the list for Telnic are apps that allow registry and management of .tel names via iPhone or Android.
