because it's easier and faster to search for a known pattern in the number or search a database of known bad numbers than to search a database of ALL the numbers. My phone had 1LI1 in it... and I could discern it all cause the ! has the little left cap on it while the I has no cap and the L is a normal L. as for O vs. 0 (zero) ... I always assume zero first when the sequenced referenced is a serial "number".
for those who question their reading abilities for the smaller than small numbers... a handy dandy reading glass can be yours for the low, low price of $xx. simply go to your local market and pick up your own magnifying glass. or better yet, borrow one from a friend. this will not however solve the problem with o vs. 0 though.
of course you could always go to your local wireless dealer and have one of them get the eye strain reading that number.
