No. Alexander Graham Bell invented this Telephone. Thomas Edison just wanted to be known better.
Alexander Graham Bell didn't create the first radio. He created the telephone, didn't that ring a bell to you?
The Bell telephone adapted technology already used to create the telegraph; technology involving sending messages across wires. Bell added a mouthpiece and earpiece to his telephone, enabling these messages sent across wires to be spoken and heard.
Bell is to telephone as Edison is to phonograph.
Bell Telephone Company was created in 1877.
