telegram it's a send letter 2 your love one etc while telegraph it is communicating between u and me to know it's other.

In short, a telegram is the message itself, while a telegraph is the means by which a telegram is sent.

A telegraph is a communication system that transmits and receives unmodulated electric impulses, either by wire or radio, or a combination of the two, between any two telegraph stations. These stations were typically separated by huge distances, across land and sea. Stations could also act as relay stations, allowing even greater distances to be traversed, all over the world.

Telegraphs (messages sent by telegraph) were telegraphed (transmitted) as a series of short and long electric impulses, usually in Morse Code which is ideally suited to the telegraph system.

A telegram is a message that has been encoded, telegraphed and decoded to reveal the original message.
