We loved our dot tel 411 and Locksmith videos and now we have 3 more videos to love. Telregistrations.com is laying down the dot tel video gauntlet with these fantastic, animated advertisements. The videos illustrate the usefulness of a dot tel for everyone. The music is great as is the “Charlie Brown’s teacher” voiceovers. A co-worker…
