## Specifying a Telephone Number as a Dummy

The topic has been revised.

- Due to the legal situation, members can choose whether to provide a valid phone number or a dummy phone number for a contact.

- The format of the dummy phone number consists of the country code and the phone number, which consists only of zeros (0).

- The phone numbers or dummy phone numbers must be specified in the K/V or XML order.

- Specifying a dummy phone number is only possible on a temporary basis.

- In the future, DENIC will only accept valid phone numbers, which will be checked using the completeness check. All requests sent with a dummy phone number will be rejected by DENIC.

- DENIC will announce the date on which only valid phone numbers will be accepted via the usual information channels.

More detailed information with examples is described in the topic.
