Mr. Watson
the Scottish-born American scientist best known as the inventor of the telephone, worked at a school for the deaf while attempting to invent a machine that would transmit sound by electricity.
Alexander Graham Bell worked with Thomas Watson, an electrician and Bell's assistant, while building the telephone. Watson was integral in helping Bell refine the design and testing the first successful telephone call in 1876.
The scientist who invented the telephone was Scottish. His name was Alexander Graham Bell. In March 1876 while he testing out his invention when he spilt some chemicals on his clothes he called out "Mr Watson (who was his assistant), come here. I want you!" Even though Watson was in another room he came rushing to help.

Alexander Graham Bell worked on the telephone for several years, beginning his experiments in the 1860s. He filed his patent for the invention on February 14, 1876, and successfully demonstrated it later that year. While the initial concept took time to develop, his focused efforts and breakthroughs resulted in a functional telephone relatively quickly compared to other inventions of the era.

Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland, United Kingdom. He invented/designed the telephone while staying at his holiday home in Ontario, Canada. He built the first telephone while staying in Massachusetts, USA.
Unlikely. He was born in Edinburgh and invented the telephone while in the United States but, more importantly, he did not have a telephone of his own, considering it an intrusion on his real work as a scientist.
