The first president to use a phone in the white house?
Rutherford Hayes was the first president to use a telephone at the White House . Since the Bell phone was invented in 1876 when Grant was in office, it is possible that he was given the opportunity to use a phone, but I can find no record he did. Hayes talked on a telephone in 1877 and had one installed in the White House in 1879. The only call that Hayes could make was to the treasury department.
