You learn something every day. (Godaddy Policy)

Today I received my first ever $10.00 administrative fee for having the wrong phone number on one of my domain names....

This is a good reminder to make sure eveything is correct and accurate. By error, I had left an old phone number on one of my domains. Everything else was right.
Correct name, address, and email but the phone number was my old number and I had forgotten to change it.

The Godaddy Rep did admit they must have been a real ball-buster though because usually one small error like that doesn't prompt much attention by them but the complainer must have really bothered someone about it.

I did get a call from someone the same day wanting to buy the domain from me, but I was not interested in selling it and explained that it was not for sale. He didn't have a hard time finding my current number. Just wanted to piss me off or weasle the domain away from me hoping they would drop it for wrong info.
