25 Jan : Who were the first to communicate on phone miles away?

Communication is the basic need of a human being. And communicating over phone was almost impossible to think of. But it was made possible and history remembers the moment today.

Anyone you want to speak to is just a call away. But making these calls was not so easy. Specially the transcontinental call.

We credit invention of telephone to Alexander Graham Bell. He invented the telephone in 1876, but it was only after almost 39 years that he could make the first transcontinental call. It was 25 January 1915, that first successful transcontinental call could be made.

“Mr. Watson, come here. I want you,”

into the telephone, which was heard by his assistant Dr. Watson in San Francisco, for a long distance call of 3,400 miles. Dr. Watson replied,

“It will take me five days to get there now!”
