What was a telegram?

A telegram is a message sent by telegraph, a system for transmitting messages along a wire creating signals by making and breaking an electrical connection. In earlier day's Morse code was used to send the signals from a sender station to a receiver station, where the message would be decoded, printed, and delivered to the designated recipient. Today you still can send telegrams, on telegramsonline.co.uk you can send telegrams all over the world.


How do you write a telegram?

It is no longer necessary to use the word "stop" in a telegram, a dot was more expensive in earlier days than the word stop, that's why it was used at the end of a sentence. In our days the dot is just a normal punctuation mark. On http://www.telegramsonline.co.uk you can take a look how to send a telegram these days to any country in the world. First, put the name of the person, then the address and send your message. John Miller 123 S. Mayor Street Meet me at 12 noon. -stop- I will meet you at the restaurant. -stop- Julie. -stop-


How do telegrams work?

Telegrams these days are different than telegrams "in the old days". You can still send telegrams all over the world, in a couple of hours if necessary. The big difference's is the way telegrams are send over the world. In earlier days telegrams where send by the telegraph-lines with Morse codes. At the other side of the line these codes where translated to words again and brought by messenger to the receiver. Today we don't use Morse codes anymore, but telegrams are still very important. You can use telegrams to congratulate someone, to send your deepest sympathy or wish someone much luck. Any occasion you can think of, a telegram will bring the message!


Where do you go to send a Telegram?

There is an online service at http://www.telegramstop.com that blends the experience of a classic telegram of the old days with the benefits of the web, it looks really cool. Time poor people can type their message (yes it even inserts the word "STOP" where ever you use a period ".") and creates classic looking telegram, mails the original to your recipient from any country to any international or national destination, and emails the sender a cool version of it. It even gives you a preview sample in old typewriter fonts to proof before sending. Pretty good and not expensive - we've had a blast using it to for friends getting married overseas.
