Even in the 1950s you still had to talk loud with long distance calls. Didn't receive many or make many of those rare phone calls because of the costs.

Bell originally planned for phones to be answered with the word "Ahoy!"

So many incredible inventors came from Scotland, proud to be Scottish

Player #8124401, That is correct. He worked with Tivadar Puskás, a Hungarian engineer, who came up with the idea of a phone. He asked can you hear me in Hungarian "Hallod?", hence we say 'hallo' on the phone even today. ;-)

Just to think...Bell's career started out inventing listening devices for the hearing-impaired...then he invents something that, for the next fifty years, makes callers think they're hearing-impaired!
