The telephone or phone (Greek: tele = far away and phone = voice) is a telecommunications device which is used to transmit and receive sound (most commonly voice and speech) across distance. Most telephones operate through transmission of electric signals over a complex telephone network which allows almost any phone user to communicate with almost any other.

Introduction


An elementary telephone system would consist of three elements:

  • the equipment located at each subscriber which converts sound to electrical signals and back, and which allows the subscriber to answer or initiate a call,
  • a central switching facility which interconnects all the subscribers
  • wiring or other means to connect the subscriber to the central switching facility. There are three principal ways a subscriber may be connected to the telephone network:
    • Historically, and still very commonly, by dedicated physical wire connections run in overhead or underground cables;
    • By radio, as in a cordless, cellular, satellite or radiotelephone and
    • By voice over internet protocol (VoIP) telephones, which use broadband internet connections.
