Alexander Graham Bell on March 10, 1876:
At a workshop on Court Street, Alexander Graham Bell shouted the famous words, "Mr. Watson, Come Here, I Want to See You." Thomas Watson, his assistant, surprisingly heard Bell's voice over their telegraphic contraption, and this event marks the first use of a telephone in history.

Note: In the 1870s, two inventors Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell both independently designed devices that could transmit speech electrically (the telephone). Both men rushed their respective designs to the patent office within hours of each other, Alexander Graham Bell patented his telephone first. Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell entered into a famous legal battle over the invention of the telephone, which Bell won.

Alexander Graham Bell (Ontario Canada) invented the first microphone (which we now call a telephone) in 1876.
Bell was born in Scotland and, although his parents had moved to Canada by the 1870s, he himself had immigrated to America and was living and working in Boston when he invented the telephone.

Italian inventor Marconi sent to Nell all the information of his research, now both are listed as "the inventors" not the inventor. Today Bell would be paying Marconi royalties for stealing his invention. Marconi's family was trying to do that to Bell's family. Nothing else was said in public, and the media never was interested.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, but Thomas Edison improved it.

Some say Antonio Meucci invented the phone, he was too poor to buy the patent that went with the creation and has recently been credited to it over years of battles in the courtroom.

The history of the invention of the telephone is a confusing claim and counterclaim, further worsened by the lawsuits which hoped to resolve the patent claims of individuals. It is important to note that there is no one "inventor of the telephone", though Alexander Graham Bell is often credited as such, and the Italian Antonio Meucci was recognized by US Congress on 11th June 2002 as the true inventor following pressure from the Italian-American lobby. The modern telephone is the result of work done by many people, all worthy of recognition of their contributions to the field. Bell was merely the first to patent the telephone, an "apparatus for transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically", 16 years after Antonio Meucci, who did not have sufficient funds to file a patent, demonstrated his "teletrofono" in New York in 1860.
