Nice one, but I don't believe it.

There's no way a guy addresses or calls his girl friend by her last name.
Instead it should have been 'Meg' and not 'hello'.

Think about it.

No. This is a popular hoax on internet.

Mabel Hubbard was Bell's girlfriend who he later marries on 1877. The telephone was patented in 1876.

Graham Bell actually never used the term "hello" . The first call he made was to his assistant who was in the adjoining room and he said "Come-here. I want to see you."

The word "Hello" actually came from hola which meant to stop and pay attention. Alexander Bell preferred to use Ähoy"as in the ships those days which co-incidentally was misheard by Edison.

In 1877, Edison wrote to T.B.A. David, the president of the Central District and Printing Telegraph Company of Pittsburgh:
Friend David, I do not think we shall need a call bell as Hello! can be heard 10 to 20 feet away.
What you think? Edison - P.S. first cost of sender & receiver to manufacture is only $7.00.
u are 100percent right. I was about saying the same thing before I saw your comment so I just had to agree with u. Edison heasr wrongly and created a wrong impression. Most people still continue with that wrong history of "hello" when u can get the right info by simply google.

Why Say 'hello' On Lifting The Telephone? by Officerricky (m ): 11:26am On May 09 , 2013 Nearly every person on this planet, irrespective of their caste, creed, religion, nationality, language, status or position in society on picking up a phone will first say ‘Hello.’ Have any of us ever wondered as to why we say ‘Hello’ on lifting a phone? It may be re-called that it was Alexander Graham Bell, who first invented the telephone way back in March, 1876. Was he then the person who first coined the word ‘Hello?’ There are no such records in history verifying that he was indeed the person to coin the word, and one also tends to wonder about that because the word ‘Hello’ has been used for ages, even when people met each other face-to-face. There is even a hoax mail circulating online about ‘Hello.’ It states that there was a girl called Margaret Hello and she was supposed to be the girlfriend of Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of telephone. And from her name the word originated. It goes on to add that in life we may forget the name of the great inventor Graham Bell but never that of his girlfriend, who was his true love. However, the fact is that Graham Bell never had a girlfriend name Margaret Hello; he had a wife whose name was Mable Hubbard Bell. And the sad irony was she could never be able to use a phone because she was deaf. Also in reality, the word used by Bell after inventing the telephone was Ahoy! It was actually Thomas Alva Edison who first used the word ‘Hello’ on mistakenly hearing a ‘Hullo.’ One finds the word "Hello" as an acceptable form of greeting between people of all levels and strata of society, whether it be your closest friend or the President of the United States or Queen of England or any ordinary person. It would still be an acceptable form of greeting either while talking face-to-face or after picking up a phone. Once this aspect of the word “Hello” was realized, people started to pick up on it and now it is just a custom and to a great extent an unconscious habit. Without a shred of doubt it can be said that "Hello" is the most common word used by every one world over, once they pick up the phone. You can even check for yourself and note this. Also next time, when your phone rings and you say a "Hello" do ponder over it, before you start a conversation. Tring Tring Tring .... Hello...Hello.
