If you are among the many .TEL watchers who signed up for beta .TEL domain under the VIP.tel program, Telnic wants you to know that the VIP.tel system is being upgraded.
In an email sent to VIP.tel name holders on January 30, 2009, Telnic states the following:
Thank you for participating in the VIP.tel trial. We continue to receive a good level of feedback much of which is either being incorporated into the beta trial or which will be available on launch. Thank you if you have already provided us with your thoughts, and if you have more please do continue to provide it to us.
If for any reason you have not logged in to your domain (we have heard some instances of people not getting a confirmation email), please use the following log in to try your test domain out:
URL: http://demo.vip.tel
Username: XXXXXXX
Password: If you have forgotten your password please email vip-support@telnic.orgSystem Update
You may have noticed that the management console was unavailable for a period of time again today. We have today updated the trial system to include Profiles (which enable you to group, order and select contact information to display, for example, ‘home’, ‘work’, ‘travelling’, ‘vacation’, etc) which brings the functionality of the .tel up to that available in the commercial release.
Updated User Guide
We will shortly be updating the user guide to reflect the changes that have been made in the trial with an explanation of this additional functionality. This can be found in the same place as before: http://www.telnic.com/downloads/vipguide.pdf
Please enjoy the renewed control over your contact information that you now have with this release of the trial program and any further comments or questions please email vip-support@telnic.org or join the discussion on the VIP discussion forum at http://dev.telnic.org.
With thanks,
VIP Support
I am excited to try out the new VIP.tel functionality described above – eg. Profiles – and report back. Since the recent upgrades are supposed to reflect functionality of the commercial release, I’m interested to know what you think as well. Test it out and give us your Feedback!
