I think telegram is not equal to telex. From what I’m reading, telegram messages were initially sent between offices by telegraph. In later years, the word has come to simply mean a message that is delivered by the post quickly, regardless of their internal transfer method between offices (which could be telex or later the internet). The list may not be wrong, but it is not on topic.
- pndy 6y ago> I think telegram is not equal to telex I tried to point out that; at least here in Poland these services were running independently since one was terminated earlier and other one much later - thus, these of course weren't same but the technology used to deliver messages could be. Polish wikipedia mentions telex for telegrams and later WAN network run by Polish Post; smaller offices in the past would receive messages by phone and then manually fill out form that would be delivered to the recipient.
