Hi Steph! While you cannot use an Echo to call 911, there are a few options available to get help in an emergency. First, you can set up an Emergency Contact. Here's the description from Amazon: After you set up Alexa Communications, you can assign a contact as an emergency contact in the Alexa app. After you select a contact, a message is sent to that number informing the recipient they've been selected as your emergency contact. Alexa attempts to call and text your emergency contact when you use any of the following phrases: "Call for help." "Call my emergency contact." "Call my contact for help." "Call my help contact." "Help." "I need help." If your emergency contact misses your call, your contact can use the Alexa app to call your Echo device. There is also the paid Alexa Emergency Assist service that offers a direct connection to a trained first responder, while also alerting your Emergency Contact that a call has started. I would suggest looking into that service to see if it would meet your needs. I hope this helps, have a great rest of your day!
