The telephone operates on simple principles. A telephone mouthpiece contains a thin metallic coating separated from an electrode by a thin barrier (today we use plastic) which connects to a wire carrying an electric current. When a person speaks into the mouthpiece, the acoustic vibrations from her speech push the metallic coating slightly closer to the electrode, resulting in variations in voltage and therefore a speedy conversion from acoustic to electric energy. The electric pulses are conveyed through a wire to the speaker on the other end, where electric pulses are converted into acoustic energy again.
And the answer about cell phones above this one is not correct....
Cell phones do not work via satellite. (satellite phones do) Cell towers send/recieve a signal from your cell phone over the air, and the towers themselves are connected via landlines or circuits to the "cloud" of the phone system. The signal is sent digitally, but converted when entering the phone network back to an analog signal.

Phones are hooked up to phone lines, which the lines are hooked up to wires which are directed through a big opereating machine that sends the phone call through wires to get to whomever you are trying to reach. Now cellphones are different because they are digital. The calls are transferred to a satellite that is then transferred to a disk that transfers your call to the cellphone that you are trying to contact. That;s the only way that I can explain it.

it transfers through the speaker and goes through the wire then goes to the nearest station then to the persons speaker at about faster than the speed of light

a telephone set consists of a transmitter (mouthpiece), a receiver (ear-piece) and a dial or push-button mechanism.
