(made on a landline phone as it significantly predates mobile phones) took place on the 7th March 1876. <sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencemuseum.org.uk\/objects-and-stories\/ahoy-alexander-graham-bell-and-first-telephone-call\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">26<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alexander Graham Bell made the call; we credit him with patenting the first telephone, although there is conjecture as to whether the idea was actually his&#8230; <sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/science\/who-really-invented-the-telephone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">27<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The first <em>mobile<\/em> phone call took place on April 3rd, 1973 <sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vodafone.co.uk\/newscentre\/news\/first-ever-mobile-phone-call-made-50-years-ago-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">28<\/a><\/sup>, and Marty Cooper placed the call.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For more information on the history of the phone call, check out SellCell&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/first-mobile-phone-call-50th-anniversary-history-of-the-mobile-phone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">History of the Mobile Phone article<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Voice Call on Its Way Out of Favour?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the likes of WhatsApp, Facebook, Google, iPhone, and myriad other voice and video call services on offer at all times, it might seem that the traditional &#8220;phone call&#8221; doesn&#8217;t have much fight left in it. However, looking at the data above, it seems that we are still making a heck of a lot of phone calls every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it is unlikely that picking up the phone for a quick chat will fall out of favor just yet, but as we are given more and more options, the good old phone call could soon find it is replaced by something we would consider a little more modern; after all, when Alexander Graham Bell patented the first telephone, it is doubtful he was thinking that one day we&#8217;d be able to <em>see<\/em> the person we are conversing with, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

Since then, he has worked as a research writer for SellCell, delivering countless articles filled with interesting data from surveys through to statistics. Ste is passionate about writing and loves to delve deep into data to discover nuggets of information that other people might not have noticed. He isn't afraid to opine on various matters, when the need calls for it! When Ste isn't sitting in front of his laptop poring over spreadsheets, you can find him behind his turntables, in front of his PS5, organising charity events for Macmillan Cancer Support, or playing tabletop board games. Outdoors, he is a bit of an amateur mycologist, and loves to go walking in woodlands!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ste-knight-01759a22b\/","https:\/\/twitter.com\/stemachine"],"url":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/author\/ste-knight\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17829"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17829"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17829\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18022,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17829\/revisions\/18022"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
