Thomas Edison: Edison is credited with inventing the carbon microphone, which “produced a strong telephone signal.”

Antonio Meucci: In 1854, he constructed telephone-like devices.

Johann Philipp Reis: In 1860, Reis constructed “Reis” telephones, but stopped just short of making these telephones practical, working devices.

Elisha Gray: In 1876, Gray used a water microphone to create a telephone in Highland Park, Illinois. Gray and Bell developed their inventions simultaneously and independently, which is why these two would fight a vicious legal battle over who actually invented the telephone (see below).

Tivadar Puskas: This Hungarian invented the telephone switchboard exchange in 1876.
