Best Answer

Before the telephone, people used the telegraph to communicate rapidly over great distances. Before that communication over distance was less rapid and less frequently attempted.


People used written letters and the Post Office, heliographs and watch towers to relay information, signal fires and smoke signals, bells, horns, bugles, bag pipes and drums in different circumstances.


And they also traveled distances to talk to one another.

When the telephone was invented in french?

If you're asking for the French translation of "When was the telephone invented," sorry, can't help you there. If you're asking when a telephone that could be used by French speaking people was invented... could be 1861, could be 1875. Depends on exactly what you mean by "telephone." Philipp Reis invented a sort of telephone in 1861; it was by most accounts more suited for continuous tones and didn't transmit speech very well. Alexander Graham Bell invented his telephone in 1875. Bell's design was fairly language-neutral; it reproduces sound, and it doesn't really matter what language the sound is in. If you're asking when the telephone was invented in France... it wasn't invented in France.
