Reading out a code, a name or a password over a noisy phone line is where letters like B, P, V and D blur into each other. Type any text and this spells it with the NATO phonetic alphabet, so B becomes Bravo and you are understood the first time.

Good to know
There is one agreed setAlfa, Bravo, Charlie and the rest are an international standard, so both sides recognise them. Made-up words like Apple for A defeat the purpose.
Numbers and symbols varyThe alphabet covers letters cleanly; digits are usually read as themselves, and punctuation has no standard word, so say it in plain language.
Alfa and Juliett are spelled oddly on purposeThey are written Alfa and Juliett, not Alpha and Juliet, so speakers of any language pronounce them correctly. That is intentional, not a typo.
Say it steadilyThe point is clarity, so read at an even pace and pause between words rather than rushing.
