Amazon added Alexa voice calling and messaging to US devices earlier this year, and it’s now expanding to Europe. Alexa’s voice calling feature will work on standard Echo or Echo Dot devices, and it allows Alexa-powered devices to call each other. You can also call Alexa devices using the Alexa app for iOS and Android.
While the existing calling feature didn’t support calling phone numbers, Amazon is also enabling calls to any numbers in the US today. It’s not clear when this will be expanded to the UK and Germany, though.
