1874 but it was Alexander Graham Bell who is credited with inventing the telephone before Elisha Gray came and gave the speech. AGB was dating a blind girl and constructed a hearing aid for her so that she could hear and developed telephony from there. Elisha Gray had the first model of the telephone and submitted his working model before Alexander Graham Bell, although the patents were submitted on the same day. There is valid evidence that Elisha Gray had a working model before AGB. However, Gray saw the telephone as a scientific exercise, not a commercial enterprise. AGB had no working model, so he took the Elisha Gray model and created his own, using EG to construct his model. AGB did not invent the telephone instrument but with the work of EG and others he invented the telephone system and carries the public perception of the invention of both. Because of this EG seldom gets the credit that he deserve for the invention of the instrument.
