Did You Know You Can Turn Your Alexa Speaker Into a Phone? Here's How I Did It

The call will be sent to the person’s Echo device and the Alexa app on their phone, allowing them to choose how to answer.

(This can also be enabled in the Alexa app; go to More > Settings > Communication > Enhanced Features and turn on Enabled.) To allow calls and other notifications again, say "Alexa, turn off Do Not Disturb.” To place a call to someone in my phone's contact list, I say "Alexa, call [name of contact]."
