First Phone Call Ever || 7th Jan 1927

On this day in history January 7, 1927 The first official transatlantic phone call occurred between AT&T President Walter S. Gifford in New York and British Post Office head Sir Evelyn P. Murray in London, using radio waves to bridge the gap since underwater cables weren't feasible yet. This marked the start of commercial service, allowing direct speech between the continents, though it was initially costly and subject to interference until subcable technology improved later. #techhistory #techt
