The domain name may not contain digits only.
If a person wants to register a ".tel" domain name, he or she has to designate himself or herself as either an individual or as a business. Individuals have the right to opt-out from displaying their full contact information in WHOIS. (business don't).

Nameservers can only be run by parties that have a contract with the registry. There are a number of requirements to the delegated zone, such as it must contain at least one NAPTR resourse record. It also should not contain any user-defined A-records.
If you want to move your .tel domain to Networking4all, you should contact your current registrar and request to send the Domain Authorization Code (also referred to as a authcode, Authinfo code or transfer code). This code is assigned by the registrar. Authorization Codes are the password for the domain and serve as an additional safety measure. The verification codes ensure that only the domain name owner can relocate the domain.
