 The telephone is one of the greatest inventions in 
history. Early telephones were nothing like the ones 
we have today. Telephone is the Greek word for "far 
sound." This is how the telephone became what it is 
today. 
 The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell 
in 1876, with the help of his assistant Thomas A. 
Watson. Mr. Bell was originally from Scotland and 
came to Boston, Massachusetts in 1872. Mr. Bell got 
the idea for the telephone from a German inventor, 
Hermann von Helmholz.
 Mr. Bell invented the telephone 
by accident when he was trying 
to invent a device that could send 
more than one telegram at the 
same time. Mr. Watson and Mr. 
Bell were both practicing their 
musical instruments in separate 
rooms. Bell spilled some 
polishing liquid on himself and 
said over the telephone, "Mr. 
Watson, come here, I want you. " 
Mr. Bell also invented the 
microphone and the speaker.
 The first telephone didn't have a 
bell, so the caller had to tap the 
phone with a hammer to let the 
receiver know a call was being sent 
to them. It was Thomas Watson 
who invented the bell. The first 
telephone operators only answered 
the phone when they felt like it. 
The operator would pick up the 
phone and say, "Number please." If 
the number wasn't busy, the 
operator took a chord and plugged 
it into a switchboard. This 
connected the caller to the number.
The Bell Telephone Company was founded by Alexander 
Graham Bell in 1877 to build a nationwide telephone 
system. By 1881, there were 132,700 Bell telephones in 
homes. The telephone became one of the most popular 
methods of communication. People wrote fewer letters 
and visited less often. A farmer in Gratiot, Wisconsin 
in the 1900's took apart his telephone to see how it 
worked. When the carbon in the phone spilled out, he 
realized he could replace it with gunpowder. But the 
instant he tried to call somebody, the telephone blew 
up! The farmer wasn't harmed, but he 
learned one lesson: telephones don't 
make good guns.
 Mr. Watson and Mr. Bell were the first people, on 
January 15, 1915, to make a transcontinental call. A 
transcontinental call is a phone call made from one 
side of the country to another. Bell was in New York 
and Watson was in California. The radio wave sends it 
to the nearest transmitter, which sends it to the 
nearest telephone wire of the person receiving the call. 
To transmit calls, they used to use copper wires. Today 
phones are used very much. It comes in different 
models and almost no one was found phone.
