Telegram was invented in 1844

It is said that the idea of making telegram to Morse came while traveling in a ship. Morse had heard from passengers about Faraday’s electromagnet discovery.
Telegram launch in India
Telegraph service in India was first started on an experimental basis in 1850 between Kolkata and Diamond Harbour. Initially it was used by the British East India Company. The service became available to the public in 1854. In those days it was the most important means of sending information.

The telephone, the mobile with which you talk, is an important part of telecommunication. After this, other mediums including internet of information kept getting added.

135 years old money order system changed to IMO and IMO
Former postmaster Ramanand Thakur said that when he was the postmaster, people used to lobby that their money orders should arrive on time and telegrams should reach on time. But, later it changed with time. This tradition, about 135 years old, has now been stopped. But, this telegraph service and money order used to be life for many people. The postal department has stopped the money order service which was a means of sending money to their family members. The main reason for the closure of money order service is the activation of mobile banking to internet banking in cities as well as villages. The Department of Posts has started Instant Money Order (IMO) and Electronic Money Order (EMO) service to provide better and faster cash transfer facility to the people. Ramjanam Singh, a resident of Sonari, about 80 years old, told that earlier all the money transactions were done through money orders only.
