The world’s first telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. He was awarded the patent for the telephone on March 7, 1876. His work was influenced by his interest in helping the deaf communicate.

Bell conducted early experiments related to sound and communication. Bell’s famous words “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you” were spoken during an experiment on March 10, 1876. These words marked the first successful transmission of intelligible speech over a wire, proving the concept of the telephone.

In January 1877, Bell’s U.S patent No. 186, 787 is granted for an electromagnetic telephone using permanent magnets, iron diaphragms, and a call bell. In the same year, Alexander Graham Bell and his backers formed the Bell Telephone Company, which later became the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T).

The invention of the telephone revolutionized communication, making it possible for people to communicate over long distances in real-time. It played a crucial role in the development of modern telecommunications.
