Phone Model Pronunciation?

[WEBellSystemChristian]

How do you all pronounce different phone models? Since most of us only learn about different models over posts and documentation, we don't learn the original intent of the way the models were pronounced.

For instance, I pronounce '302' as 'three oh two', or '500' as 'five hundred'. I've heard '302' pronounced 'three zero two' or 'three hundred two', as if it were they were saying the number.

It would be interesting to find if there's a disagreeable way of pronouncing a certain model, a little like the year 'twenty-sixteen' vs 'two thousand-sixteen'.

I pronounce 302 and 500 the same as you do.  I don't think it will matter unless you Skype another forum member, call them, or meet one of them in person.  Most of us type our messages or posts.

Maybe Jethro Bodine would pronounce 500 as 'five double naught'.

Sounds like someone knows their Beverly Hillbillies!

A supervisor from the WE Service Center, who was told to shut down the 5302 refurbishing line in the middle of a shift, called a 5302 a "Fifty-three oh two."

I pronounce 302, 500 & 5302 as stated.

So Do I.
I add The word "type" when discussing variants.

I also pronounce 5302 that way.
