Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi NINJAGUY, Yes! connecting with friends and family is easy with Alexa. To start communicating through your Echo device, you will need to add your contacts to your Alexa account. Once you have added your contacts, you can mark your favorite contact to reach them faster, or set up an emergency contact. Here is how you can add contacts to your Alexa account: 1. Open the Alexa app. 2. Select ‘Communicate’ from the bottom navigation bar. 3. Select the contact icon in the top right corner. 4. Select the menu icon in the top right corner. 5. Select ‘Add Contact’ to add individual contacts or select ‘Import Contacts’ to enable Alexa to upload contacts from your device’s address book. You can make calls with your compatible Alexa devices using simple phrases. You can call people on their phones or on their compatible Echo devices. Here are some examples of phrases to ask Alexa: -“Call [Name's] Echo." -"Call [Name's] mobile." -"Call [Name] on his home phone." -"Call [Name's] office." -"Call [Mom/Dad/Grandma]." -"Call [number]." -"Call my phone." -"Call [device group name]." -"Call [group name] group." Alexa Calling does not support calls to the following types of numbers: Emergency service numbers (for example "911"), premium-rate numbers (for example "1-900" numbers, or toll numbers), three-digit numbers / abbreviated dial codes (for example "211"), international numbers (numbers outside of the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Mexico), and dial-by-letter numbers (for example "1-800-FLOWERS"). You can also use Drop In as a means of communication to instantly check-in with others in your household. Drop In is an optional feature that lets you connect instantly to supported Alexa-enabled devices, like an intercom. Use Drop In to open an instant conversation between your devices or with your Alexa contacts. When you receive a Drop In, the light indicator on your Echo pulses green and you connect to your contact automatically. You can use Drop In to do the following: 1. Have a two-way conversation by connecting to one of your Alexa-enabled devices ("drop in on Kitchen"). 2. Connect to a specific device group ("drop in on living room"). Only one Alexa-enabled device from the device group connects. 3. Have a group conversation with all supported Alexa-enabled devices under your Amazon household, which are not set to do not disturb. To start a group conversation ask Alexa to Drop In everywhere. All supported Alexa-enabled devices under your Amazon household account will connect regardless of their physical location. 4. Drop In on a contact who granted you Drop In permissions. 5. Receive Drop In from a contact whom you granted Drop In permissions. Hope that helps!
