The international alphabet is a useful tool when communicating over a radio or phone, e.g., between a pilot and control tower. I am often misunderstood when I relay information over the telephone so I keep an international alphabet cheat sheet in my desk which definitely comes in handy and I always have the person verify the information before getting off the phone.
