.tel enables you to store, update and publish all your contact information, web links and keywords directly on the internet under your own unique domain name. Simple, fast and accessible from any device, .tel provides a new internet standard to take full control over how and where people reach you.
Unlike all other TLDs, .tel enables anyone to utilize the DNS to store information as data. As such, .tel does not require (or allow) the building of traditional websites but instead can be used as an instant online presence, formatted for any device with a browser, that can be built without the need for technical development skill. It is the first TLD that can be utilized 'out of the box' with no further software and can be managed from smartphones. As the information is stored as data, it can also be accessed by non-traditional methods, such as through internet telephony soft phones (like Kiax, voipGATE, Phoner Lite, etc) so that individuals can 'dial' a .tel. Additionally, with the support for OAuth, .tel domains can be accessed via SMS gateways An example of this concept can be seen by utilizing Twitter's SMS gateway to access .tel information.<ref>[http://twitter.com/2tel Twitter]</ref>
