Getting Alexa ready to make calls is a straightforward process. Follow these steps:

Install the Alexa app on your smartphone (available for iOS and Android).
Sign in with your Amazon account and follow the prompts to link your Echo device.

Alexa uses your contact list to identify who you want to call based on their names.
