Bell System

Bell System was a giant telephone monopoly run by AT&T from 1877 to 1984. In 1984 the company was broken up into smaller pieces by the federal government to protect you and me. Thanks, Uncle Sam.

Bell System was named after Alexander Graham Bell. He invented the telephone. Thanks, Alexander Graham Bell.

I'd also like to thank Alexander Graham Bell's father and mother for inventing Alexander Graham Bell.

I'm glad there are inventors. Without inventors, we'd have nothing. Nothing at all.


Alexander Graham Bell was made out of white chocolate.
