In the Victorian period in 1876.

It is generally accepted that Scottish-born inventor, Alexander Graham Bell, invented the first practical telephone on March 10, 1876, when, in Boston, USA, he spoke his famous words "Mr Watson, come here. I want to see you."

Answer 2

The first telephone system in Britain dates back to 1877. By 1901 (the end of the Victorian era) all major British cities had a telephone exchange with - in total - tens of thousands of individual lines available, also offering connections to several mainland European countries.

It would yet take a long time before the phone would really become a general household appliance. They were at the time mostly owned and used by the larger commercial companies, Government agencies and by rich - and progressive - individuals. Others could go to the Post Offices in the bigger cities and use a phone there. But for a great number of years afterwards the telegram remained the favorite choice for people who had urgent messages to convey.
