The telephone was first patented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876; therefore, it can be assumed that all US Presidents before that time never used the device in office:

  • George Washington (1789-1797)
  • John Adams (1797-1801)
  • Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809)
  • James Madison (1809-1817)
  • James Monroe (1817-1825)
  • John Quincy Adams (1825-1829)
  • Andrew Jackson (1829-1837)
  • William Henry Harrison (1837; died after a month in office)
  • John Tyler (1841-1845)
  • James K. Polk (1845-1849)
  • Zachary Taylor (1849-1850)
  • Millard Fillmore (1850-1853)
  • Franklin Pierce (1853-1857)
  • James Buchanan (1857-1861)
  • Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865)
  • Andrew Johnson (1865-1869)
Ulysses S. Grant who succeeded Andrew Johnson served as President of the United States until 1877.
