The telephone (from the Greek: τῆλε, tēle, "far" and φωνή, phōnē, "voice") is a telecommunications device that transmits and receives sound, most commonly the human voice. It is one of the most common household appliances in the developed world, and has long been considered indispensable to business, industry and government. The word "telephone" has been adapted to many languages and is widely recognized around the world.

The device operates principally by converting sound waves into electrical signals, and electrical signals into sound waves. Such signals when conveyed through telephone networks — and often converted to electronic and/or optical signals — enable nearly every telephone user to communicate with nearly every other worldwide. Graphic symbols used to designate telephone service or phone-related information in print, signage, and other media include ℡(U+2121), ☎(U+260E), ☏(U+260F), and ✆(U+2706).

How to connect speakers to my telephone at home?
Q. Hi, I have 5 people or more at my house listening to a guy on the telephone speak about things. How do I connect speakers to the telephone so the people can hear it clearer and louder? What to buy? Thanks.

A. Your phone needs to have a speaker phone function or it would need to have a speaker jack plug in (don't think I've ever seen speaker jacks in a phone?). Go out and buy a cheap speaker phone.

Telephone numbers on websites are obscured by Skype display. How can I stop this?
Q. I have Skype, and whenever a telephone number appears on a website, it turns into a Skype hotlink which actually obscures the number. I have to click on it, which opens Skype, stop the call, and then read the number it just dialled. Other than simply uninstalling Skype, can anyone suggest a way to prevent this from happening? Is there a setting I have missed? Many thanks.

It will also save you from having to ask simple questions. * Go over your personal statement, as it s an obvious source of questions for admissions tutors, and is often used as a first question in the interview to help put you at ease. Make sure you have answers prepared for the common ones such as why do you want to study here? and why have you chosen to study this subject? * Do some mock interviews with teachers, career advisors and/or parents.
