.mobi 1-877.mobi, 1-411.mobi, 1-888.mobi and others. Hot or not?

[brindle123]

I reg'd these with phone usage in-mind. I know the "-" is not good for most domains, but I think it helps set these apart from: 1877, 1411, and 1888.
It looks more like the phone number. Plus the others where taken or I would've reg'd them all.
This is what I've got for phone number .mobi's:
1-411.MOBI
1-877.MOBI
1-888.MOBI
1-900.MOBI
1-976.MOBI
Do you like or not like???

I don't like them at all... I can't see any point in the names. You'll need to develop and market them well to see any value, IMO.

I think hyphens lower the value of these domains...

 

[ChineseDomain]

I don't like such one with hyphen too.

I'm missing something. You don't dial 1 before 411 and I'm not sure what the end-user interest would be for the 877 type names. A directory maybe but what if you have no idea whether number you are looking for is 877, 800, 888, etc? I'm probably just missing the point.

There are alot of companies out there with very long names. For example, if your company was Mutual Mortgage Company, and you wanted a .mobi ext., then it would be a pain in the A#% for someone to type that into there phone. That company might also have a 1-800# or a 1-877#, but they want to set-up a .mobi. Instead of them putting on there business cards MutualMortgageCompany.mobi they could use 1-877.mobi as a generic easy domain for the .mobi ext. It's obviously not a million dollar domain, but it's short, generic, and easy to remember. Someone bought the 1-800.mobi, I wish I could have gotten that one. To me it looks very clean and simply.

..uh brindle, they could also just go out and get MMComp.mobi, MMCo.mobi, MutualMC.mobi, etc. etc.

You might want to take some time off of all this 'mobiizing' for awhile, and clear your head out on all this. With so many good generic names still available, regging names you have to explain seems defeatest and expensive to me. GL though!

Hmm, I sympathise with you to a degree as I regg'ed 0870.mobi with similar thoughts (UK) but I think the hyphen kills them, and as others have said, there are planty better names still available.
