WOW - THIS IS HUGE - and provides the biggest opportunity for MASS LEGAL CYBERSQUATTING the internet has ever seen !

So if I'm in the business of selling domains - which I am by the way - I could register the telephone numbers of the major registrars as all numeric .tel domains - then when the idea of dialling nnnnnnnnnn.tel from your smartphone takes off I get loads of calls meant for GoDaddy etc !

I presume the availability of nnnnnnnnnn.tel will apply to Telnames as well as Telnic .tels ?

Should make for interesting marketing - if the Telnames format is the only one promoted there will potentially be dissatisfaction from users when they find out their new all-numeric .tel from their favourite registrar can't display the Telnames format marketed - unless Telnames finally make their format available to Telnic registrars !

Here's the Press Pelease

This is a MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT - the future of .tel looks much brighter now !

Do you really see an advantage registering phonenumber.tel over businessname.tel?
And one more question:
How can get .tel awareness for 123456789.tel if it was not possible for abcd.tel and 1234.tel before?

YES I DO !

The "Single Point Of Contact" idea of .tel I have always liked - but the big problem has always been that the whole world is geared up for numeric telephone numbers.

After all, how can you have a properly structured domain "name" for the many thousands of John Smiths that exist in the UK - never mind other countries - and of course .tel domain names are not organised by country e.g. uk.tel, us.tel, etc, making it even more difficult.

BUT HERE'S MY BIG IDEA - GIVEN FREE TO KASH !

Do deals with BT, Vodafone, and every other major Telco to provide a FREE ALL-NUMERIC .TEL FOR 1 YEAR with EVERY ACTIVE PHONE NUMBER.

So the person with telephone number 01234 567890 gets 01234567890.tel free for the first year.

It shouldn't be a major project for a Telco to extract all telephone numbers, email addresses, first/last names etc of their users and set up a basic .tel automatically - Telnic/Telnames have already helped "yellow page" organisations with such procedures in the past.

As I said FREE for the first year, but if users find .tel useful there could be MILLIONS of RENEWALS from the second year onwards.

And if these millions of users don't even find a FREE .TEL useful, then at least Telnic/Telnames and all others will know and can stop wasting any more time and money on the .tel project !

Remember in business it doesn't really matter what the vendor thinks about their own product - the crucial test is whether customers will purchase and use it at the price it is offered for sale !

And to answer your second question, I have repeatedly suggested to Telnic/Telnames that they should use the services of this company founded by these 2 guys with a proven track record in the worldwide mass marketing of domain names !

Are you ready to capitalise on the boom in mobile local search?

Today’s smartphone-wielding public wants their information served right now: in the palm of their hands, the minute they need it, and on the go.
The UK has one of the highest mobile phone market penetrations by smartphones in the world. Today, a staggering 58% of Brits have a smartphone, according to Ofcom.
The fast growing adoption of smartphones means the way people search for information is changing. Recent research by Google reveals that 95% of smartphone users have searched for local businesses and services online. Crucially, 68% of local information seekers will call or visit a business after finding information on their phones.
The implication is clear: to thrive and survive in this brave new world, every small business needs a mobile-friendly web presence.
Local information at your fingertips?
If you’ve got a smartphone, chances are you’ve used it to look up directions to that shop you couldn’t find, searched for the address of a consultant you were on your way to meet, or Googled the phone number of a restaurant to tell them you were running late.
And you wouldn’t be alone in doing that. According to Google, 50% of mobile search is local. That’s up from 40% as announced last year.
Think about it. That’s a massive number of people using their smartphone to find a local service or service provider. It is also a wakeup call for anyone who promotes their services to local customers.
The results from Google’s latest research are telling – half of all search queries coming from smartphones have a local intent.
SMEs are missing out
Despite the huge volume of local queries in mobile, the majority of small businesses still don’t have a mobile optimised website. A recent ‘Online Business Outlook 2013’ study by Barclays shockingly revealed that the majority of UK businesses are unprepared for the shift in consumer activity away from PCs and laptops to mobile devices.
A total of 89% of businesses surveyed by Barclays confessed they still have not developed their website for mobile devices. Which means UK plc is missing out on a whole lot of potential opportunities from consumers looking for a local service provider.
A lost opportunity
If you don’t have a mobile friendly website then the chances are that local searchers will simply move on and talk to your competitors.
Online searchers find it frustrating having to zoom in and out of sites or wait for pages to load or struggling to decipher text and images that don’t appear correctly. If they can’t find the information they’re looking quickly and easily, they won’t hang around.
In just seconds they could be moving onto a site where they can find what they want fast – including that all important phone number they need up front and on the homepage.
What your businesses really needs
Smartphone users looking for information in a hurry just need the essentials – just enough information to decide if this is the right service provider for their needs – and want to be able to make fast, efficient contact.
If you’re a small business or sole trader that means that all you really need is a smart online mobile friendly website that sets out the basic facts and clearly displays all the ways you can be contacted.
In other words, your mobile website simply needs to work well, load fast, look good and be easily accessible.
Telnames makes it easy, for everyone
That’s exactly what a .tel mobile website from Telnames gives you. A concise directory profile page containing all your contact information – including social media links – together with a business profile that’s displayed in a smart, mobile-friendly way.
It’s the perfect way to get a mobile optimised online presence that has instant appeal to smartphone owners looking for a local service provider.

A lot of services have gone and many are new.

Add a Slideshow to your Pro Tel Site

 by Lostwithiel

One of the undoubted  advantages of a telnames  site compared to a Pro tel site is the ability to add an image gallery.

It is very easy to “bolt on” an image slide show to a Pro Tel site without incurring any hosting costs. This is how to do it.

Load the pictures you want to use into an album on a  popular photo sharing website which  will allow you to generate an rss feed. e.g, Flickr or Picasa

Sign up for a free Google website at https://www.sites.google.com/.  Select one of their mobile friendly templates.

When in Google sites editing mode select Insert > More Gadgets > Add a gadget to your page and pick a suitable slideshow gadget.  There are several available, I use  one called   “Picasa/Flickr/Photobucket RSS Slideshow”.

Add your rss feed from the Photo Sharing site  to the gadget, and set customisation of gadget as required

Add additional  images and text to the Google site page to make it look more compatible with your  Pro Tel site.
   


Here is an example of the above procedure in use   http://flowers-by-fleuri.shops.lostwithiel.tel/

You can also use a Gadget available with  Google sites to take a regular photo rich rss feed and incorporate this into your Pro Tel site. For example see  Lostwithiel Property

Are you ready for 4G?

Are you ready for 4G?

4G is literally turbo charging UK mobile networks, transforming the mobile internet experience for millions of smartphone and tablet users. But how will it affect you?

By Ian Bowen-Morris
18th August 2013 at 10:36 pm

4G is literally turbo charging UK mobile networks, transforming the mobile internet experience for millions of smartphone and tablet users.
10 times faster than today’s networks, 4G technology allows us to download content at superfast speeds and enjoy a fast and smooth online browsing experience on mobile devices.
All of which fuels demand for yet more ‘on the go’ services from Brits. According to OFCOM, 94 per cent of UK adults now have a mobile device and are using their smartphones to get online and find what they’re looking for fast.
A missed opportunity
The message for UK PLC is if you’re not visible online, you run the risk of missing out on a wealth of potential business opportunities.
Yet a recent survey by Barclays Bank found that 89 per cent of UK businesses still don’t have a website optimised for mobile devices and are ill prepared to take advantage of the 4G mobile boom.
That’s despite the fact that 49 per cent of mobile phone users say they personally use their mobile phone to access the internet – up from 36 per cent in 2012.
With 3.8 million subscriptions to super-fast mobile broadband services in existence today, the number of super-fast connections is set to explode once 4G covers all UK networks.
Digital presence
In today’s competitive business landscape, it pays to present your business well online and to make it easy and quick for customers and prospective customers to make contact with you. That’s especially true of customers operating in the mobile world, and meeting their needs is really quite straightforward.
Any small business these days can create a mobile optimised website that’s perfectly designed to boost their visibility in online mobile searches.
For example, a single page .tel website from Telnames doesn’t cost a fortune and gives you a comprehensive and effective business profile that displays perfectly across all devices and has been specially designed with the needs of smartphone and other mobile users in mind, with essential features like click-to-call phone numbers, email links, a location map plus hyperlinks to all your social media and full .com or .co. uk website.
Accept online and mobile payments
Whatever your business, being able to offer customers a fast and safe way to instantly pay for goods and services looks professional and efficient.
The preferred online payment method for 35 per cent of UK shoppers, PayPal’s safe and convenient payment service gives customers the confidence of knowing their credit card or bank account details will never be directly visible to you.
Capture the 4G opportunity
With the number of mobile consumers set to rise in 2013 thanks to super-fast 4G, making a very small investment in a mobile-friendly online presence with Telnames is the first key step to ensuring your business is prepared to maximise every online opportunity.

Process of expiring .tel domains

Process of expiring .tel domains

 

The point of deletion for a .tel domain is not the expiry date or the date you submit the deletion command as the registrar.

The full lifecycle is as follows:

1. A .tel registrar can choose to process a renewal at expiry or allow the auto-renewal of a .tel to take place
2. The Auto Renewal will take place 45 days AFTER the expiry date – during this time the domain status in WHOIS is “ok”
3. The registrar can choose to actually process the renewal at any point during this 45 days OR just leave the domain to autorenew at the end. When it is renewed the expiry date is updated to the new expiry date (1 year from the original registration)
4. If the owner informs the registrar that they do NOT want to renew the domain, the registrar MUST issue a DELETE command. This can be done anytime during the 45 day renewal period
5. If a delete is requested the domain then changes status to “PENDING DELETE” and the .tel will no longer resolve
   
   
   
   • The domain will be in PENDING DELETE for 30 days – the owner can redeem this domain at an extra cost at any time during these 30 days
   • At the end of the 30 days there is a 5 day deletion period where nobody can redeem or purchase the name
   • At the end of the 5 days the domain will be “dropped” and available to anyone to register

As you can see, it's possible for a .tel to remain active up to 80 days after the expire date until it is deleted, depending on how it is handled by the registrar.
