The phonetic alphabet<\/em> is a very easy to learn and can be immediately employed in a variety of circumstances in order to facilitate improved communication.\u00a0 Particularly in regard to conveying domain names and passwords via telephone.\u00a0 The phonetic alphabet is designed to alleviate any confusion on similar sounding letters, such as: B, D, P, T, etc.\u00a0 Especially these days with Voice Over IP telephone systems, sometimes the call quality can be lacking in clarity and the use of the phonetic alphabet can be the difference between clear and concise communication and total frustration on both ends of the line.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use of the phonetic alphabet basically consists of replacing the letter you want to say with the actual word from the list above.\u00a0 So, “A – B – C” is thus said “Alpha – Bravo – Charlie.”\u00a0 It’s as easy as that!<\/p>\n
