It did not impact the world immediately. The first telephones were confined to the urban North East USA in the 1870s. Trans-oceanic communication was still done by telegraph. It took the telephone twenty five years or so to have a global impact, and to make a real presence in people's homes. It took quite some time to wire the world for telephones. They had to physically string all that copper wire to create a network. That took 50 years.

Well, the immediate impact was to get Mr. Watson to come to aid Alexander Graham Bell.
It took time to wire the nation and the world for telephone service, so, it took time for the full effects to be be realized.

I would say that communications were speeded up immensely. Business could certainly be expedited. Heads of countries could communicate much more quickly, for good or bad. I would say the impact was huge.

Sales people could stay home and dial instead of coming door to door.
