Numbered messages have been established for some of the more common texts sent during emergencies and holiday seasons. When this common text can be used, an ARL NUMBER is substituted for the text and sent. The delivering station reads the actual text to the address, not the ARL NUMBER.

The letters ARL are inserted in the preamble in the check and in the text before spelled out numbers, which represent texts from this list. Note that ARL is included in the text before spelled out numbers, which represent texts from this list. Note that some ARL texts include insertion of numerals or words.

ARL NUMBERS SHOULD BE SPELLED OUT AT ALL TIMES.
