Too bad they do not show the year when this was posted.

... there are a number of variables depending on the actual policies of the registrar. Here is how I have explained the lifecycle in the past:

* All .tel domains by default are set to autorenew at the registry, so if the registrar does not request that the domain is deleted it is autorenewed

* The Auto Renewal will take place 45 days AFTER the expiry date

* The registrar can choose to actually process the renewal at any point during this 45 days OR just leave the domain to autorenew at the end. When it is renewed is when the expiry date is updated to the new expiry date

* If the owner informs the registrar that they do NOT want to renew the domain, the registrar MUST issue a DELETE command if they want to stop the auto-renewal. This can be done anytime during the 45 day renewal period

* If a Delete is requested the domain then changes status to "PENDING DELETE"
and the .tel will no longer resolve

* The domain will be in PENDING DELETE for 30 days - often (and depending on the registrar again), the owner can redeem this domain at an extra cost at any time during these 30 days

* At the end of the 30 days there is a 5 day deletion period where nobody can redeem or purchase the name

* At the end of the 5 days the domain will be "dropped" and available to anyone to register
