Alexa supports several types of calls to suit various needs:
1. Alexa-to-Alexa Calls
Free voice calls between Alexa-enabled devices. These are perfect for keeping in touch with family and friends who also have Alexa.
2. Phone Calls
Alexa can call mobile and landline numbers within supported regions. Simply say, “Alexa, call [contact name],” and the call will be made using your linked number.
3. Drop-In Feature
Drop-In allows instant communication between Alexa devices on the same network, like an intercom system. For example, you can say, “Alexa, Drop In on the kitchen” to check in with family members.
4. Video Calls
Devices like the Echo Show support video calls, enabling face-to-face conversations with other Echo Show users or anyone using the Alexa app.
