Reading numbers in English American and British native speakers help needed
 
Hello I am not sure if I read certain numbers correct. How would you read the following room numbers in a hotel : 100, 208 , 67, 1899 and what about the house numbers ? and PIN and National Insurance number especially with zero. Is it read zero or oh and is each digit read seperately. Thank you for your help. Take care

For room numbers:
one hundred
two oh eight
sixty-seven
eighteen ninety-nine
 
For PIN and similar numbers, read each digit separately, using either "oh" or "zero" when you read 0. For example, the PIN  8920 is read eight-nine-two-oh or eight-nine-two-zero. Both ways are very common.
