Alexander Graham Bell thought the phone should be answered with “Hoy, Hoy” instead of “Hello”.

As a tribute to Alexander Graham Bell when he died in 1922, all the telephones stopped ringing for one full minute.

From one telephone in 1876, the count grew to 11,000,000 telephones nationwide by 1915.

There is 149,084,370 telephone lines in the world and thousands more are being added every day.
