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.
