10 March, 1876

On 10th March 1876, Alexander Graham Bell transmitted speech for the first time by calling his assistant over the telephone, “Mr. Watson, come here! I want to see you!”. This is regarded as the very first telephone call made in the world.

Graham Bell had transmitted the first sound on 2nd June 1875 while testing his invention. The sound was that of a single reed plucked by Thomas A. Watson.
