The first distress signal was sent out from Titanic at 12:27 AM ship's time.
Yes, Titanic called for help. The first distress signal was sent out after midnight at 12:27.
The first thing Titanic did to signal other ships was to use a Morse lamp (a light that would be turned on and off to send messages to other ships who were close by) They used this to try to contact a nearby ship the crew could see (the S.S California) When the ship did not respond Titanic fired white rockets into the sky. While doing this they sent out wireless messages saying CQD (all stations distress) and their position. (The position that they said was actually wrong but they quickly realized this and sent out their revised position.
At about 12:10 a.m Captain Smith told Jack Phillips, titanic's wireless operator, to send out distress signals. The Olympic, the Frankfurt, and the Carpathia responded. Carpathia was the closest and Carpathia told Captain Smith it was 58 miles (93 km) away.
No. Records show that the SOS call was used at least as early as 10 June 1909, by the Cunard liner SS Slavonia.Originally, the wireless signal for a ship in distress was cqd, but in 1908 a new signal, SOS, was introduced since the combination of three dots, three dashes, and three dots could be easily recognized by even the greenest amateur.source: RMS Titanic, Inc.

not as such, there was a ship not far from the titanic when they sent the distress signal out but, the captain of that ship thought it was a hoax so they ignored it.

RMS Titanic struck the iceberg at approximately 11:40pm on the 14th of April and a distress call was sent out just after midnight.

Last message sent from Titanic: "We are sinking fast. Passengers being put into boats."

Yes. Arthur Rostron, the captain of the Carpathia, was well aware that he was headed into an ice field. He nonetheless sent every ounce of steam to the engines (shutting off the heat and other less critical utilities) in order to reach greater than full speed in order to come to the Titanic's rescue. They were about 58 miles away when the Titanic first sent out a distress signal, so speed became very important. The level of danger was exactly the same as what Titanic had faced, so Rostron prepared for this by having every crew member on the deck and on the lookout for icebergs, as well as the Titanic's lifeboats.
Guglielmo Marconi invented the radio telegraph system
The first radio waves were sent across the Atlantic Ocean by Guglielmo Marconi in 1901.
