A Dot Tel name is, next to the QR-Code, THE code, for communications and marketing. Here I explain you why:

Because words are codes, and codes can contain alphabetic characters and cyphers/numeric characters, words are equal to numbers, in that sense.

And so, classic phone numbers can be replaced by words, just as they had once been done, in the early days of telecommunication, and which was in the year of 1876.

For picturing and remembering phone numbers, with our own eyes, words are better, of course.

If you have a word or a number: In both cases, we have a code.

Phone numbers, used to be easier, for dialing.

However, today, as we do not have to dial anymore, and can simply "click to call", numbers don't make that much sense, and seem to only be hindering...
Again: A memorable word, for calling, might be the better solution for our modern days and usage of telecommunicaton services.

A Dot Tel name (.tel), which is a online and mobile web page and business card, can offer you more than just one phone number, if calling a .tel name: From the online business card, you are able to select from various types of contact information, such as (the already mentioned) phone numbers, email adresses, SMS, Skype, Voip, web site links, and so on.

Ok: Now you may say, that you can get that for free, at various social network sites: But if you say that, you probably missed the point, because:
With a Dot Tel name, you have your own personal Internet domain and contact info address. And which makes communications easy, if others can memorize, or easily store (by scanning your QR-code, for example) your Dot Tel name (.tel).

Conclusion:
A Dot Tel name is, next to the QR-Code, THE code, for communications and marketing.
