See what you hear on the Echo Show, and enjoy sing-alongs on Amazon Music. Eight microphones on the device pick up your voice from anywhere in the room, meaning you get exactly what you're asking for. The Echo Show is compatible with Alexa for seamless visual enhancement of your experience.
Q: Can this model be used to make telephone calls to any phone, mobile or land line?
A: You can call :You can call anyone who has Alexa or anyone who installs Alexa app on their phone, even if they don't have Alexa.
Q: The Amazon - Echo Show -- is that instead of, or in addition to, the regular Echo?
A: The Show is just another model in the line of Echo devices that include the original Echo, the Tap, the Dot and the Look. They all have similar functionality but are for fitting different use cases and price ranges. I have not heard anything about the Show replacing any of the other devices in the line.
A: You surely can! I am using Show, Echo & Dot in the same room, but I plan to move Echo & Dot to another room, because Show takes care of the entire room nicely.
Q: Do you have to have amazon prime to use?
A: No, but Prime adds 1,000,000 songs & many other benefits - but is not required to use Echo Show.
Q: Can I use it as an alarm clock
A: We use ours as an alarm clock, timer and reminder all the time. As an alarm clock, you just tell it to set an alarm for the target time ( if you don't specify AM or PM it will ask) and you're good. To cancel the alarm when it goes off, just use the wake word and 'stop' or 'cancel' or whatever phrasing you're comfortable with. You can also cancel an alarm early just by telling it to 'cancel alarm'. There's also a choice of the type of sound for your alarm in the Alexa app and some of the celebrity ones are funny. We switch up the alarm sounds periodically.
A: It's about 3 3/4" x 6" of "live view" screen.
A: Yes. You have use one of three commands: Alexa "Take a photo”, "Take a Four Shot photo” or "Take a Sticker photo”.
Q: Is this a stand alone unit?
A: Yes it is a stand alone unit. But I have one in my living room and one in the kitchen. I also have three echo dots in the house. I can set them to play music on one or two or all if I wish. I can drop in on any room like an intercom. They really are helpful and fun.
