How user will find Dot Mobi with a little help from Dot Tel

Dot mobi has received big support from a newcomer: From the dot tel domain.

A direct and smooth way to get access to mobile content: From .tel to .mobi, respectively, via .tel.



Dear reader,
Here, I am showing you two simple szenarios "click2domain: from .tel to .mobi".
One way is quasi indirect. And the other way is direct.


Comment:
If the "Contact Us" page of the .net domain is a "Contact Us" .tel page, it is easy to get acces to other related websites and .tel pages of the same owner, or just, whatever links are displayed on that page. If you have a .mobi, and want it to be found, then a dot tel domain comes nice and handy for you and your (potential) clients: Another way, to benefit from having a dot tel domain...
With this shown domain constellation, I recommend that you replace your existing contact website page, by building in the "Contact Us" page, that you can retrieve from your .tel domain.
On your website, you are then able to modify a few things, of your "Contact Us" .tel page: Such as, choosing a other color than the .tel default color, for the icons. For example, blue, instead of the orange.
In this case, you are benefitting from .tel technology, but have less restrictions, than with the main .tel domain: You have more freedom and flexibility to modify and to customise.

If you would be staying on your smart phone, or mobile phone, and you wouldn't know the .mobi domain name by heart, you would most likely go to the dot tel domain, and from there, click on the dot mobi website link.
Otherwhise,if you would be staying on your laptop, or PC, you would probably access the dot tel domain a second time, when you are on your smart phone, or mobile phone, and from there, click on the dot mobi website link, as it would make more sense, to look at a .mobi website, from there.
Anyway: it will be always good, if people see your "Contact Us" .tel page on your website, because your contact details are very easy to use, simply by clicking on the links.
Before, one had to fetch a paper and pen, and write the phone number or website link, or email address down, or copy and paste it on a document, and then print it out.
I guess, that if you are on your mobil phone, and you are lucky, you could search for the company, and directly get the companies "Contact Us" .tel page, or .tel domain, and then just click on whatever link you want to select. What will be more likely to show up, are .tel domain names, and mobi domain names, as well, probably. But I admit, that I have no idea, how to use a serach engine, on a mobile phone. I guess, that if you have internet access, via (free) WiFi, for example, you can use Google, just like from any laptop, or PC.
However: Sometimes, you happen to "stumble over" a dot tel domain, and that way, get to know about the existing .mobi website, that you might want to look at, on your iPhone, for example.
This is mainly, why I brought the szenario with the .net domain, included within the constellation of domains. I noticed, that I got a bit lost and confused, here, as I realised, that this example is probably not that smart, as I thought, at first. And then, I quasi tried to justify this szenario, by adding some better arguements, and further thoughts and comments.

But let us now go over, to the second szenario, which seems to be the way, that most people are likely to go, as it can be done "mobile only", without a laptop, or PC.
Even, if you mistakenly would click on the main website link, you could be lucky, and get redirected to a existing .mobi website.



Comment:
If your .tel has a .mobi link displayed, your .mobi can be found directly via .tel. This way, you would be quasi bypassing your website (non .mobi website) to reach your .mobi. Or if you happen to mistakenly click on the main website link, you might get redirected to the existing .mobi website, if you are lucky. But just to make it clear: as you do know, of course, also here: you do need to have a ordinary, main website. But you don't have to visit it, if already .tel gives you the information, that you have a .mobi website, and offers it's website link, at the same time.

Nowadays, since the dot mobi registry is providing "INSTANTMOBILIZER" via some member-registrars, it is very easy, to have a website on a smart phone or mobile phone, or any handheld device.
You don't have to configure your .mobi website: it gets automatically configured, with any website data, you provide. And looks good, too.
So: why not give it a shot, with "INSTANTMOBILIZER", and see your website very soon on the iPhone, for example.

These shown two domain constellations, are no-brainers, when it comes to getting access to a .mobi website. Whereas, if you only have a ordinary website, plus a .mobi website, without any other useful additon, such as for example, a dot tel domain, your .mobi website can quasi only be found, if the user knows the .mobi domain name. That is one of the reasons, why dot mobi websites are not a "big runner / hit", till now. But things might change, as people are getting innovative and creative, and the cost of using a mobil phone, or smart phone is constantly sinking. As soon as using the mobile phone gets really cheap, you better be ready, for the "take off" of the dot mobi domain. And that will be pretty soon, as it looks like...

In the past, the question was often: "for what do I need a .mobi?" Or: "Why is .mobi not more successful?" Or, people think, that the dot mobi domain has already failed, etc.:
That is one of the main reasons, why I wrote this article. And to show and highlighten, that dot mobi has received big support from a newcomer: From the dot tel domain.

Some domainers express their opinion, stating, that the one, as well as the other of both mentioned "exotic" domains, have "failed":
Fact is, though, that they are both working and interacting nicely together. Like brother and sister. Like a nice team. A direct and smooth way to get access to mobile content: From .tel to .mobi, respectively, via .tel.
