Why did the inventor of telephone Alexander Bell never talk on it with his wife?

Bell also invented the Diving Bell and the decibel gauge for sound volumes. He taught sign language in schools. There's a lot more he's invented that escapes me at the moment.

Bell was the first to get "credited with a U.S. patent", but he was not the "only" "inventor" of the telephone. Check out Antonio Santi Giuseppe Meucci & Johann Philipp Reis.

Player Say what!?, I don't think he invented the diving bell, he might have improved it. An early submarine existed at the time of the American civil war, 1860's.

The Disabled have to be inventive to live

He also had something to do with the Hovercraft

The TTY for the Deaf would not have been invented without the phone

Alexander Grey and Elisha Gray applied for patent on the SAME day. Alexander Meucci had earlier worked on the technology later adapted by Bell, though he is not recognised

I thought they reclassified saying that

Alan, Ahoy! Her name was Mabel Gardiner Hubbard. AGB never wanted "Hello" or "Hi" to be the way people answer the telephone. He thought it should be "Ahoy!" I wonder how many "Old Mother Hubbard" references &/or jokes will be written in response to this.

Alan, Mrs. Bell. JK

Does anyone know the wife's name?
