Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Why use the NATO alphabet instead of normal letters?
Letters that sound alike over the phone — like "B" and "D" — are easy to confuse. NATO codewords are chosen specifically to sound distinct from each other.
Does it cover numbers too?
Yes, digits 0-9 are included using their standard spoken forms.
