Problem with URL shorteners is ones that use characters, especially of varying cases. Relaying letters across a telephone sucks, I often resort to NATO codes, and now you'll have to distinguish capitalization.

Yeah, actually I guess that I was spoiled in that regard. I worked for an RF company when I had that experience and, also having a military background myself, the NATO phonetics were used naturally when communicating with our customers.
