    I personally always use "zero" in phone numbers, and never "oh". I find it interesting that, when I ask people to read a number back which I supplied, most (though not all) pronounce 0 as "zero", too, though I suspect that there's an element of copying, and these people would say "oh" in any other circumstances.
