Making phone calls with Alexa: These options you have

If you have an Echo speaker, you can use Alexa's features to connect with other people by phone. Generally, there is a free option for you to connect with other Echo users via Alexa. However, there are also three other ways.

1. Through the Internet via the Amazon server: Alexa provides you with its own Alexa calling service, which allows you to contact other Echo users for free. In doing so, you can not only make calls, but also chat.
2. Through the Internet via Skype: By using Skype, you have the ability to connect with other people through Alexa. For this, you can dial the existing contacts or use real phone numbers.
3. Through the landline: you can also make calls with Alexa through the landline. However, you need an Echo Connet Box for this, which guarantees the connection between the Echo speaker and the telephone line.

With the purchase of the additional box, you allow Alexa to make and receive landline calls. This makes you independent of your phone and also smartphone, which is especially helpful if you don't want to miss a call in your daily life. In addition, this allows you to make calls with your hands free at any time.
