The Love Train
Adding to the Dot Tel launch hoopla was the infamous Ben.tel video depicting two hormone-laden Brits fighting for the attention of an uptown blonde – all while riding an intercity train. The one who scribbled “Ben.tel” on the window with his opponent’s latte won the girl.
Preselecting phone numbers: Calling from a mobile website integrated .Tel sub domain, via a main .Tel domain. Prior to calling, watch a slide show.
The basic idea:
Viewing a related slide show, prior to making a phone call. Something like this (App.: "Ting!"):
Going from the "Ting!" concept, I suggest the following idea, for a preselect phone dialing:
1.) A Dot Tel domain.
2.) A mobile website.
On that mobile website you have the following:
3.) A slide show, about yourself or your company.
4.) A integrated Dot Tel sub domain which only displays your phone number and email:
(This would better be a sub domain, for economic reasons, as you will want have more contact information on your main Dot Tel domain.)
Conclusion:
Before dialing a number, the potential contact person, can learn a bit more about your company ("mycompany").
Basically, you only provide your phone numbers, on such mobile websites, with a slide show, each, and don't only publish a single phone number on a .Tel.
Because you have a integrated Dot Tel page, in a website, you can do "click to call", from that website.
So, instead of providing a phone link, you would be providing a web link ("Go To my phone number") to a mobile website, that has a mini slide show, providing some specific info about the owner of the phone number, which you might want to contact. This info, will make your decision, weather to call, or not, a hole lot easier.
Can you see, where I am going?...
The smartest thing, would be, to create a mobile website with contact info, as well as a integrated short slide show about you or your company, and have a link going to it, from your Dot Tel domain, instead of providing single phone number links on a Dot Tel domain.
On that mobile website, you would integrate a sub domain of that Dot Tel domain.
Does it sound complicated?:
Well, here is a mind map:
Link to mind map:

www.mycompany.com/mobile
includes:
www.subdomain.mycompany.tel
(from where you can "click to call"),
as well as a
mini slideshow about "mycompany" (which you look at, before you decide to make a call).
The call, is two clicks away, as you click on the link to the (other) mobile website, and from there, you click on the phone number, which is a link on the displayed .Tel sub domain of the .Tel domain, from where you started navigating.

Click to Call concepts
Here is a idea:
1.) Dot Tel web page.
2,) Link to Lady Nastya: nastya.russiangirls.tel
3.) Link goes to picture with click to call option, smilar to the concept of "Ting!"
But my idea, might enable people to decide, if they want to make a call, or not:
"Ting!" shows a full screen slideshow of a caller’s pictures during incoming calls. So the caller can assign to a particular contact several (or at least one) photos. And when this person calls the user can enjoy full screen photos of the contact.
Actually there are apps that act as a full screen caller on the market, but they mostly show just one picture. I assume that the ability to see several contact’s pictures during incoming call at once brings some fun and personalization to Symbian devices.
The application is written in Symbian C++ and consists of 2 parts: service and UI. Service is hidden and used to catch incoming calls, get incoming call number and check if it is added to the application database. If it is in the database, the application starts the slideshow with predefined pictures. The UI part is used to communicate with the application database and manage contacts.
Where to get the app?:
The most exciting thing in making mobile app is ability to use telephony functions and improve user experience in using mobile phone. This has led a developer to "Ting!", being recently launched. More of "Ting!" below.
At the same time the developer has realized, that since he is an independent developer and do most of the work himself, so there is no sense in trying to work with all possible mobile operating systems. In his situation, the only way to succeed as a mobile software vendor is to concentrate on one operating system and to do my best, developing high quality products for this platform. As you may expect he has chosen Symbian, since it is the only operating system which gives him as a developer deep access to telephony and device functions and at the same time gives him as a software vendor access to a really huge audience.
He was lucky enough to realize early that software development is the most easy task in selling product. What really takes most of your time is application promotion.
Implementing license manager, getting publisher id, signing, getting agreements with distributors, etc. That’s why his first product was partly aimed at building essential distribution relations like Handango, Ovi Store, Nokia Download, local Nokia stores here in Russia, etc. But at the same time it was a serious product called Blacklist Mobile which is very successful at the moment.
While working on Blacklist Mobile and it’s modification Whitelist Mobile, he had managed to gather all the telephony-based functionality you can gather using S60 APIs (including some Nokia’s partnering API’s). After that, he started to think how to use this in his next products. And how to use it in a product that can be targeted at a wide audience that has entertainment value. That’s how the idea of Ting! came to his head.

.Tel in eine gleichlautende .Mobi einbinden
Soeben habe ich eine neue Theorie ausgedacht, bei dem man eine .Tel-Businesskarte in eine gleichlautende .Mobi Handywebsite einbinden kann:
Die Kosten für das Einrichten und Unterhalten einer .Mobi Domain, wären somit so tief wie nur möglich, und das kann man als Laie selber bewerkstelligen.
Der .Mobi benutzer bekommt dann eine .Tel-Website zu sehen.
Der Benutzer wählt eher eine .Mobi, weil ihm diese Domain bereits vertraut ist. Da das Redirekting auf eine .Tel zur Zeit technisch nicht möglich ist (weil man keinen eigenen Host hat), wäre hiermit ein Problem schon gelöst.
Siehe auch die Diskussion:
http://www.toutpointtel.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=222
Fazit: So schnell, einfach und kostengünstig, hat noch Niemand eine .Mobi Webseite erstellt und online eingestellt.
Es macht nun auf einmal viel Sinn, .Tel und .Mobi Domains zu registrieren (vorzugsweise, paarweise, mit je einer anderen Domain-Suffix .mobi/.tel).
In anderen Worten, heisst das, dass man viel Traffic auf seine .Tel-Data erhalten kann, aber nicht auf seine .Tel-Domain selbst. Was auch nicht allzu schlimm ist.

Integrate .TEL into your Website using iFrames
Since the release of .Tel last year, many people have asked "what can I do with my .Tel name"? There are many great ways youmcan use it, but here's a new development that got me excited.
An iFrame tag (eg. <iframe> ) defines an inline frame that contains another document.
The code is EXTREMELY easy to incorporate and took me less than 2 minutes to setup (no joke) on my personal website which uses a modified WordPress blog template.
Take a look
By integrating your .Tel name into your website you can effectively change your contact information simply by updating your .TEL. Once it is setup, you just login to your .TEL interface and make changes to your contact information and you are done.
Picture a company with 100 employees who each use a .Tel name. By integrating all their Tel names on one website, you can easily build an online directory that is independently updated by a 100 different individuals.
To embed your .TEL into your website, just follow Telnic's easy

To demonstrate the functionality and what can be achieved with a .tel domain, Telnic will be selecting examples, which it will promote on this page. We are primarily interested in .tels that are helpful, well-populated and discover innovative ways to keep in touch.
This page will feature a new .tel domain each week. Please note that ".tel of the week" is not sponsored by any .tel domain owner, and is based exclusively on arbitrary choice of Telnic as the registry operator. If you would like your .tel to be featured on our site, please write on our forum. Not all submitted domains will be featured.
