Have you tried .tel?
Have you tried .tel? It’s a domain address that keeps all your contact information is one place. The average cost is $34.99 a year. The concept of this project is that instead of remembering your friends phone number, just remember their .tel address. I believe .tel was created to compete with .mobi domain extension and it may just have some merit. As long as easy to remember names are available the .tel domain will last, but as soon as it gets as crowded as .com, the party’s over.

Hi Marc,
Thanks for posting. Just a couple of quick points. The average price for a .tel domain is around $15 with the lowest being around $10.95 per year. $35 is at the high end.
.tel wasn’t created to compete with .mobi. Instead, it’s meant to be used as a central point of contact for all types of interaction points – that can be phone numbers through to web links to traditional web or mobile web content, including .mobi sites. It’s really communications-channel agnostic – you can store anything you want in terms of contact information underneath it.
Thanks again,
Justin
