About NATO Phonetic

What is the NATO alphabet

The NATO phonetic alphabet assigns a code word to each letter (A=Alpha, B=Bravo) so letters aren't confused over noisy channels.

Where it helps

Spelling names, serial numbers and confirmation codes clearly on phone calls, radio and support chats.

Numbers too

Digits are spelled out as words, and spaces become a slash separator.
