Alexander Graham Bell Edinburgh, Scotland; March 1847 Alexander Graham Bell is most well known for inventing the telephone. He came to the U.S as a teacher of the deaf, and conceived the idea of electronic speech while visiting his hearing-impaired mother in Canada.
The telephone exchange was an idea of the Hungarian engineer Tivadar PuskÃ¡s (1844â1893) in 1876, while he was working for Thomas Edison on a telegraph exchange. PuskÃ¡s was working on his idea for an electrical telegraph exchange when Alexander Graham Bell received the first patent for the telephone.
