Trivia: What were the first words sent by telephone?

Am I on?
Mr. Watson – come here.
Who may I say is speaking?
Hello

The correct answer is Mr. Watson – come here.

So why is this answer correct? : Just a few days after filing his telephone patent, Alexander Graham Bell was ready to test his prototype. He sent his assistant, Thomas Watson, into another room and spoke into his telephone: “Mr. Watson – come here – I want to see you.” As Bell recorded in his journal, “To my delight he came and declared that he had heard and understood what I said.”
