Information on the Phone Number

Specification of a Dummy Phone Number

Caution!  

  • 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.

 

  • The following rules apply to the format of a dummy phone number.

 

  • Plus (“+”)

  • Country code, consisting of 1 to 3 digits

  • Period (“.”)

  • Telephone number consisting of 4 to 14 zero digits (“0”)
