With numbers, use "point".

We use "dot" for . when saying website addresses and email addresses.
Hotmail.com > Hotmail dot com
Helen.Jones@Gmail.com > Helen dot Jones at Gmail dot com

When dictating text, use "full stop" as part of the text, and "point" when dictating numbers.

IN American English it's "period" rather than "full stop".

With $1.03 trillion, I would say one point oh three trillion. (British speaker)
