voipGATE

A .tel domain is the first name that you can dial. Because all contact details are stored directly in the DNS using industry-standard data formats, users can now dial people's names or company brands instead of typing in phone numbers. Recognizing this technology breakthrough, Voice over IP (VoIP) providers are starting to promote .tel as part of their solutions.

voipGATE is a Luxembourg-based Voice over Internet operator & software provider who offers telecommunication services and local phone numbers across the world and, although domain names were not traditionally part of their core business, voipGATE is now actively promoting .tel as part of their small business solutions.

Jorge Marques, COO of voipGATE, explains, ".tel is not a standard domain name. It is the 21st century business card or 'contact hub' that gives users the ability to store, locate and access all their contact details in one click and from any internet connected device”, and adds, "our Softphone can be considered as an unified communication tool wrapped around the .tel. You can now communicate with any .tel holder by using the most appropriate channel you want: call, chat, email, SMS. You just need to Search, Click and Communicate with our Softphone. It is simple, instant and fast!"
