Phonetic Alphabet

To assist you when speaking terms that are alpha-numeric, we have implemented the phonetic alphabet. When speaking an alpha character, please use the either the Military word or the common word below. If the MBI is 1EG4-TE5-MK73, you will speak the following in the IVR, “1 Echo Golf 4 Tango Echo 5 Mike Kilo 7 3.”

Tips

Do not say things like “A as in Apple,” if there is an A, just say “Apple” or “Alpha.”
You can use the military or the common words provided. You can mix and match throughout speaking the MBI.
