I just had to tell a long booking number over the phone, and realized that
some characters like V/B can be hard to convey.

So, I want to learn exactly how each letter is currently taught in Japanese
schools.

For every case where there are variants (like for H or
[Z](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/6018/what-is-the-more-common-
pronunciation-for-the-r-%C5%8Dmaji-letter-z-in-japanese/6022)), please select
only one, the one that will be the most understood and induce the least amount
of ambiguity when spoken as part of a meaningless booking number.

Please also indicate what moras must be stressed.

How to pronounce the English alphabet? (A, B, C, ...)
I share your experience. Sticking straight to the _katakana_ pronunciation
below, I have never had the problem of someone not understanding me any more.
I believe this is the pronunciation currently taught in Japanese schools.

A: エー【HL】  
B: ビー【HL】  
C: シー【HL】  
D: ディー【HHL】  
E: イー【HL】  
F: エフ【HL】  
G: ジー【HL】  
H: エイチ【HLL】  
I: アイ【HL】  
J: ジェー【HHL】  
K: ケー【HL】  
L: エル【HL】  
M: エム【HL】  
N: エヌ【HL】  
O: オー【HL】  
P: ピー【HL】  
Q: キュー【HHL】  
R: アール【HLL】  
S: エス【HL】  
T: ティー【HHL】  
U: ユー【HL】  
V: ブイ【HL】  
W: ダブリュー【HLLLL】  
X: エックス【HLLL】  
Y: ワイ【HL】  
Z: ゼット【HLL】

In all cases the pitch drops after the first mora (which is high, or
"stressed"). This is how you should read them as single letters or multiple
unrelated letters. As an acronym, the main drop in pitch happens on the last
letter only, e.g. URL ユーアールエル【LHHHHHL】. (This is just the same as in English,
where the last letter is stressed, so it is not something you need to try to
remember separately.)

I agree with Earthliŋ for the most part. Though I have never heard of Japanese
students being taught and official "Katakana-ized" version of the English
alphabet. Generally they seem to be taught to imitate native pronunciation as
closely as possible.

I use and hear the following variations regularly:  
Disclaimer: I live in Kansai.

  * A - エイ 
  * D - ディー or デー (in musical contexts) or デイ (as an abbreviation for "day") 
  * H - エイチ or エッチ (usually referring to intercourse) 
  * J - ジェイ 
  * K - ケイ 
  * V - ブイ or ヴイ  
(This is a bit of a tricky one, for people who have  
lived overseas ヴイ seems to be used more)

If someone has trouble over the phone understanding ブイ, you might like to try
saying it a bit less staccato, like "bwee".

  * W - ダブルユー or ダブル (as in www.google.com - ダブル・ダブル・ダブル ドット)
