Telephone \Tel"e*phone\, n. [Gr. ? far off ? sound.] (Physics)
An instrument for reproducing sounds, especially articulate
speech, at a distance.
[1913 Webster]

Note: The ordinary telephone consists essentially of a device
by which currents of electricity, produced by sounds
through the agency of certain mechanical devices and
exactly corresponding in duration and intensity to the
vibrations of the air which attend them, are
transmitted to a distant station, and there, acting on
suitable mechanism, reproduce similar sounds by
repeating the vibrations. The necessary variations in
the electrical currents are usually produced by means
of a microphone attached to a thin diaphragm upon which
the voice acts, and are intensified by means of an
induction coil. In the magnetic telephone, or
magneto-telephone, the diaphragm is of soft iron placed
close to the pole of a magnet upon which is wound a
coil of fine wire, and its vibrations produce
corresponding vibrable currents in the wire by
induction. The mechanical, or string, telephone is a
device in which the voice or sound causes vibrations in
a thin diaphragm, which are directly transmitted along
a wire or string connecting it to a similar diaphragm
at the remote station, thus reproducing the sound. It
does not employ electricity.
[1913 Webster]


Telephone \Tel"e*phone\, v. t.

  • Is it correct to write the telephone abbreviation as Tel when the . . .
    I think it's hard to argue that "Tel" is not correct given that a mobile phone is a telephone The only reason it should even matter to the reader is if calls to mobile phones cost more than calls to landline phones in your country, and even then if you're only providing one number they don't have any choice but to use that number
  • Cell phone? Cell? Mobile phone? Whats the correct term?
    This term distinguishes the device in a bit different dimension; it describes the capabilities as opposed to older handheld devices (smartphones are the devices that combine a microcomputer and a telephone) So, strictly speaking, if you want to be specific to different types of devies you should use different terms in different cases
  • Call on or call at or something else? Which is appropriate?
    On is the only acceptable preposition here; "call me at my cell" (or in, to, with, etc ) is wrong However, if you are specifying the number, you can use at: You can reach me at (555) 555-5555
  • Call me through at on this number - English Language Usage Stack . . .
    @Mohammad: It may be that "through [telephone number]" is more common in the US I'm British, and in general it's a bit "odd" to me I myself would always use "on" for phone numbers To me, "through" works with "my sister", "the office" - because they're intermediaries, but I can't see a simple number as an intermediary –
  • punctuation - Standard format for phone numbers? - English Language . . .
    Inside the USA, in business contexts, "(310) 555-1212" is fairly standard However, it's not very computer-friendly; also, due to area code overlays in a growing number of areas of the US, you must often dial a 1 before the area code in any case, so "1-310-555-1212" is becoming fairly common (on the business cards of people who are more practical than formal, for example ) "310 555 1212" is
  • politeness - How should I tell someone I called you but you didnt . . .
    Any sentence that implies "you didn't answer", suggests they made an active decision to not pick up the phone It's accusatory by natu
  • May I speak to. . . . vs May I speak with. . . vs May I talk to. . .
    Speak: This is inside the entry about the verb "to speak" - To speak to another by means of a telephone; ― speaking (where ― is a speaker on a telephone), phr used by the speaker to announce his identity So, if you are going to phone to someone on the phone, then "May I speak with ?" sounds like the most appropriate one
  • word choice - What Is the Real Name of the #? - English Language . . .
    Kerr added this version to his paper In that letter Carlsen wrote that, in 1963, Don MacPherson of Bell Telephone Laboratories was sent to the Mayo Clinic to train staff in telephony and needed a name for the # button and chose the “octo” + “the Olympian “Thorpe”” (hence the “e”)
  • Should the number 0 be pronounced zero or oh?
    I have often heard people say 101, as one-zero-one, and also as one-oh-one Which is correct, and why? Does the difference between British English and American English have to do something with it?
  • what are the origins of hi, hey, hello? - English Language Usage . . .
    Central telephone exchange operators were known as hello-girls (1889) Hello, formerly an Americanism, is now nearly as common as hullo in Britain (Say who you are; do not just say 'hello' is the warning given in our telephone directories) and the Englishman cannot be expected to give up the right to say hello if he likes it better than his
