A telegram is a text message sent by wire using Morse Code to tap out dits and daaahs. The code would then be transcribed into language, printed out and delivered by boys on bicycles. It was the fastest means of communication in the mid 19th century.
Telegrams were obviously slower than telephone calls, but could be put into code for military use. Telegrams provided a written record of the communications to reduce the chances of misunderstandings and disputes. They were the preferred way to send very important information until a few decades ago.
Telegrams can still be send all over the world, if necessary within a couple of hours.
For the delivery details to countries all over the world you can use several different online services.
