When we get a phone call from a customer enquiring about a private plate, obviously it\u2019s very important that we understand exactly what plate they\u2019re asking about. Over the phone, an M can sound like an N or an S can sound like an F. Now if you\u2019ve chosen a wonderful plate as a birthday gift for your wife Sue, perhaps 10 SUE<\/a>, you don\u2019t want the disappointment of ending up with 10 FUE<\/a>!<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s why we ask all our phone customers to confirm the plate they want using the phonetic alphabet. Originally developed for the aviation industry, the phonetic alphabet is widely used all over the world and it can come in very handy when you\u2019re on the phone, especially if the line isn\u2019t perfectly clear. Ever got frustrated giving the spelling of your name or your postcode over the phone and the person at the other end just isn\u2019t getting it? Learn the phonetic alphabet and banish this frustration!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a useful skill to have, not just for ordering number plates, so why not get the whole family to learn the phonetic alphabet, you can test each other until you\u2019ve got it spot on. Make sure Annie gets her ANN 11N<\/a> plate and not an AMM 11N plate, and Bob gets his BOB plate<\/a> and not a DOB plate<\/a>!<\/p>\n
