Full guide: point your domain and bind a phone number
Point your legally owned domain via CNAME to 302tel.com, then complete phone binding and verification on idntel.com or 域名电话.com. After that, visitors who open your domain use the phone redirect service. Below, “your-domain.com” stands in for your actual domain.
What should I know before starting?
Password signup: Sign in / Register. Trial (slider, multi-country numbers): /idntel/trial-en.html (English) · /idntel/trial.html (中文).
Full path: ① Add CNAME at registrar → ② Wait for DNS → ③ Bind domain + redirect phone on this site → ④ Visitors hit your domain and phone handoff runs. After payment, complete phone verification within 10 days (SMS or inbound call — see Phone verification guide).
Worked example: demo-brand.com and phone 18928943920
Same steps as the rest of this page — only the sample domain and number differ. Replace them with your own domain and mobile when you go live.
- DNS (registrar): For
demo-brand.com, add CNAME rows for@andwww, both targeting302tel.com— nohttp://prefix. - Wait: After ~5–15 minutes run
nslookup demo-brand.comuntil the chain resolves toward302tel.com. - Site: Open Sign in / Register → Create an account → enter
demo-brand.comand18928943920, set password and email, pass the slider, submit. - Check: Confirm the binding in your account list, visit
demo-brand.comagain, and verify phone handoff behaves as expected.
Flow: domain → phone service
Top to bottom: DNS at registrar → wait & verify → bind domain + phone on this site → visitors hit your domain and the phone handoff runs. If a check fails, follow the loop back to DNS or wait longer.

Registrar quick reference: apex / root record (@)
Add one row for the bare domain (your-domain.com). Field names may differ slightly (Host, Name, Points to).
| Field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Host / Name | @ |
Means the apex; some panels use @, blank, or the domain itself. |
| Type | CNAME |
Must be CNAME — not A / AAAA here. |
| Line / region | Default | Leave default unless you use split DNS. |
| Target / Points to | 302tel.com |
No http://, https://, or path — hostname only. |
| TTL | 600 or default |
Faster refresh if you are still testing; default is fine. |
Registrar quick reference: www host (recommended)
Optional but recommended so www.your-domain.com behaves the same.
| Field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Host / Name | www |
Resolves www.your-domain.com. |
| Type | CNAME |
Same as apex row. |
| Line / region | Default | Same as apex row. |
| Target / Points to | 302tel.com |
Hostname only — no protocol or slash. |
| TTL | 600 or default |
Same as apex row. |
How do I verify DNS propagation?
- Wait ~5–15 minutes for global DNS caches to refresh.
- Use
nslookup/dig, browser fetch, or your registrar's diagnostics until the chain points toward302tel.com. - Then complete binding on Sign in / Register or Try Domain Phone.
- Visit your naked domain — phone handoff should follow your production mapping.
Site binding step 1: open the site and choose an entry
Password signup: Sign in / Register. Trial: Try Domain Phone (English) · 试用 (中文).
- Visit idntel.com or 域名电话.com and choose Sign in / Register or Try Domain Phone.
- For a new account: open auth.html and click Create an account; returning users sign in with password.
Site binding step 2: open the binding form
Site binding step 3: enter your domain and verify DNS
- Enter your-domain.com in the domain field (use prefix/suffix controls on the form if shown).
- If the platform runs a DNS check: proceed when it shows DNS verification passed. If it shows DNS not active yet, return to the DNS steps or wait a few minutes and retry.
Site binding step 4: bind your mobile number
- Enter your mobile number (must receive SMS). Compare with demo
18928943920anddemo-brand.comin the worked example. - Complete the slider, click Send code, and enter the SMS verification code.
- Set password and notification email if registering, then click Submit.
Site binding step 5: confirm binding is complete
- After success, view service info in My account · self-service portal (subject to live features).
- Visit your-domain.com again and confirm redirect and phone handoff work.
Troubleshooting
- DNS still not updating: Remove conflicting
@A/AAAA rows; confirm you are editing the active nameservers; flush local cache (ipconfig /flushdnson Windows,sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderon macOS). - Site says verification failed: Re-check host and target for stray spaces; try mobile data if a CDN or resolver caches oddly.
- Landline or overseas number: See Phone verification guide.
