The 19th century saw numerous attempts of creating a unique device, which would enable its users to exchange voice messages over a distance. Nowadays many people still consider Alexander Graham Bell the inventor of the telephone, which is not true. In fact, Bell obtained a patent in 1876 for his invention, which he called "apparatus for transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically" in the USA. Bell’s device allowed transmitting and receiving a voice signal alternately with calling out a target person with a whistle. It was only a few years after that Bell’s colleague T. Watson invented a telephone ringing device. Graham Bell’s early telephone had an operation range within 500 meters. Though the most interesting fact is that already 16 years before Bell’s patent another researcher of Italian origin named Antonio Meucci demonstrated a device, which enabled a wired transmission of a voice signal. Meucci called his device "telectrophon". Though due to a large financial challenge he was facing Antonio submitted the corresponding application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office only in 1871 and numerous financial hardships prevented the patent from registration with the patent getting void in 1873. That is why Alexander Bell was considered a person who invented the telephone for a long time, and only on July 11, 2002, the Congress of the USA established Antonio Meucci’s right to be the inventor of telephone technology in resolution No239. Unfortunately, Antonio himself has not received universal recognition in his lifetime and died in poverty.
