Marty Cooper, a Motorola employee, called an AT&T employee to brag about the achievement—and almost got hit by a cab.
Bell, located in New York calls Thomas Watson in San Francisco, probably to argue about who was paying cheaper rent (history cannot confirm).
Another inventor, Elisha Grey, actually filed a patent for the telephone within hours of Alexander Graham Bell, but Bell's patent was approved first.
