    Thomas Edison is credited with popularizing the use of "hello" as a telephone greeting. While Alexander Graham Bell initially used "ahoy" as the telephone greeting, Edison suggested using "hello" instead of a call bell as it could be heard from 10 to 20 feet away. Edison wrote a letter to the president of a telegraph company proposing the use of "hello" and estimating the cost to manufacture a sender and receiver was only $7.

    Telephone

    The use of hello as a telephone greeting has been credited to Thomas Edison; according to one source, [9] he expressed his surprise with a misheard Hullo. Alexander Graham Bell initially usedAhoy (as used on [10][11] ships) as a telephone greeting. However, in 1877, Edison wrote to T.B.A. David, the president of the Central District and Printing Telegraph Company of Pittsburgh: Friend David, I do not think we shall need a call bell as Hello! can be heard 10 to 20 feet away. What you [12] think? Edison - P.S. first cost of sender & receiver to manufacture is only $7.00.
