The telegraph was implemented about 30 years earlier. It consisted solely of pulses of electric current that were send in short and long bursts, which could be translated into letters and words.
The telegraph was 'thought up' by many different people. But the person who was really recognized, and the one to actually be recognized by Congress, was Samuel Morse. His first message was sent on January 11, 1838.
The modern telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in March of 1876. The telephone was influenced by the invention of the telegraph, so it then became the next big communication device for the world. The telegraph and telephone were taken up by the corporation AT&T also known as American Telephone and Telegraph.
