Re #6. Beats me, too. The first long-distance call was March 27, 1884, but that was New York to Boston. Maybe just 'cause the cell phone hadn’t been invented?

35428

Maybe it was the first time the telephone was used in London? Or maybe it was the day before that happened?

35429

It is right around the time the phone was invented, and Wikipedia’s page lists several people around then who contributed to its invention. Maybe EH will come back to explain.

Just because it would be an anachronism. I chose the date at random.

I looked up anachronism.
noun
something or someone that is not in its correct historical or chronological time, especially a thing or person that belongs to an earlier time:
The sword is an anachronism in modern warfare.

The date you provided is right around when the phone was introduced, so it’s not an anachronism. :confused:

35435

Nobody had cell phones in 1884. Which means one would have been outside of its correct historical time.
