Can Alexa Call Anyone?

Published in Alexa Calling 1 min read

Yes, with Alexa, you can make hands-free voice or video calls to people who have a supported Alexa-enabled device or the Alexa app.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Alexa-to-Alexa Calling: You can call other Alexa devices (like Echo devices or those with Alexa built-in) and the Alexa app directly. This is the easiest and most straightforward method.

  • Alexa App Calling: You can call anyone who has the Alexa app installed on their smartphone or tablet, regardless of whether they own an Echo device.

  • Supported Calling Services: Alexa also integrates with services like Zoom, Chime, and Skype. This allows you to make calls using your existing accounts with these services.

  • Phone Number Calling: In the US, UK, Canada, and Mexico, you can call up to 10 pre-set phone numbers. Important Note: Emergency numbers (like 911) are not supported.

In summary: Alexa's calling capabilities extend to other Alexa devices, users of the Alexa app, and through integrated services like Zoom and Skype, along with limited phone number calling.
