What were the first words spoken by telephone?

Kainantu

They were 'Come here Watson, I want you.' and these were spoken by Alexander Graham Bell on 6th March 1876. http://www.sciencenet.org.uk/database/Technology/9810/t00281d.html Jan 13 03, 3:24 AM

And from this site, 'Mr. Watson....Come here.... I want to see you.' http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bltelephone.htm Jan 13 03, 6:31 AM

We will never know as Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone. Italy hailed the redress of a historic injustice yesterday after the US Congress recognised an impoverished Florentine immigrant as the inventor of the telephone rather than Alexander Graham Bell. Historians and Italian-Americans won their battle to persuade Washington to recognise a little-known mechanical genius, Antonio Meucci, as a father of modern communications, 113 years after his death. The vote by the House of Representatives prompted joyous claims in Meucci's homeland that finally Bell had been outed as a perfidious Scot who found fortune and fame by stealing another man's work. http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,738675,00.html Jan 13 03, 8:24 PM

Meucci may have invented the telephone, but until Bell invented the second telephone, there wasn't much conversation. Source: Lenny Henry Jan 13 03, 11:20 PM
