Two years after the invention of the telephone, in 1878, the first telephone was
installed in the White House by the then-new President of the United States, Rutherford
B. Hayes. The first “official” call was between Bell and the President. Although
the federal government strongly supported this new technology, international long
distance phone calls still left a lot to be desired. In the following years, long
distance telephone service would be improved in many incremental stages as new associated
inventions and more efficient applications of available technologies were developed.

Alexander Graham Bell was the first to realize that telephones must work over long
distances in order to be successful as a means of communication. With that in mind,
only 12 months after he first invented the telephone in 1876, Bell managed to extend
the reach of a telephone from its original eight miles to a distance of 143 miles.

Ciscoe’s To-do List: Birds won’t be sluggish about eating your bait

The main line may be made of fiber-optics, co-ax, or copper wires. They all do basically
the same thing, but some are ever more efficient and easier to obtain than others.
The big box at the junction of the phone lines is powered or activated, and contains
digitizers. It is here that your call joins the mainstream or multiplexed line ending
in your local switch and the fiber-optic national network. So, your phone lines
work much like your neighborhood streets emptying onto a large highway: like roads,
there are smaller pathways or cables, that join up at a major intersection to meet
with your national network or pathway, which connects you to the rest of the country,
and the world.

The next company to get a piece of the calling card pie was New York’s Regional
Bell Operating Company (NYNEX). In 1990, they came out with a much simpler phone
card: the first non-magnetic-based calling card in the U.S. NYNEX’s prepaid cards
used personal identification numbers (PINs) that identified the cardholder. This
made international phone cards even more convenient. All the cardholder had to do
was dial an 800 number and enter his PIN to make a long distance phone call. This
allowed callers to make calls from anywhere in the U.S.
