Well no one told me..

I'm now the proud owner of smss.tel..
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-newbies/589625-did-i-ever-tlel-you-not.html

I know what you're thinking too probably, whats wrong with that! Solid investment for 8.95$

Can you see us from there in wonderland?

.tel is like a communications application on the internet. You publish 2-text-only fields max, update your status, control who sees your public data, publish domain links with headers and contact info with headers, but thats about it

You cannot use them for regular hosting!

What a ripoff, with a prime name like .tel!

The first hint was when I read the domain names had to be posted to their nameservers I thought wtf, but I should have totally trusted my instinct and said let it be gone with the wind but i couldn't, as you can see by its quality the investment was perfect if .tel registry ever comes to their senses and allows people to reg them - as tight over-lording style limitations do nothing good for the domain, and take server space, which is not something a registrar wants to make a mandatory requirement of every name registered - especially if they plan to be big as .com... Imagine that... How much web hosting would cost..

Anyway, if this is my fault like for choosing "personal" instead of "business" so I could hide my whois, please tell me if I can chance that.

.tel isn't even a legit domain. It's a social site that was given it's own TLD. I have seen a number of webmasters & domainers confused over what .tel is. I also believe that any strong .tel sale prices you see are the result of the buyer having no clue about the limitations. This really is a TLD where even super premiums should max out at $300-$500 considering everything.
