Very Spanish, not international, but used by Telefonica.

No wonder they take so long to get to Benalmadena or Fuengirola. lol

Hi Luz

That is very similar to what I have heard.
My knowledge of this comes from listening to a mechanic in a car repairshop ordering parts over the phone and is limited to very few characters. However he always says Alemania and not Almeria whilst he does use Dinamarca and Francia.
I am well aware of the NATO phonetic alphabet but not many Spanish secretaries would understand it.

I am sure I will now be able to get my email address over to the young lady using the help I have received here.
