By indicating that you wish to receive marketing from third parties, you are consenting to our providing your contact details (including phone number and email address if provided by you) to carefully selected third parties who may contact you about their products and services. You should note that this may include making telemarketing calls to you and sending you SMS.
@Telnamer - thanks - where did you get this from ?
BUT that's NOT the way .tel is supposed to be with the LIST ONCE PUBLISH EVERYWHERE concept !
The above is simply a fairly standard business practice of asking if your details can be forwarded onto "carefully selected third parties" who will then phone or text you.
What selecting this option should do is CREATE AN AUTOMATIC LINK so that all data on your .tel which maps onto the 3rd party's directory etc. is setup/updated every time you make an entry into your .tel - no phone calls, no texts, just seamless publishing of your .tel data by 3rd parties.
As it stands, the Telnames 3rd party option seems to offer nothing more than that already offered by millions of organisations worldwide who hold customer data that they seek permission to sell on !
