Free Calling in US / Mexico and Canada with Alexa!

[Scott Greczkowski]

Amazon just started rolling out a new feature to their ECHO line a few minutes ago where you can now call any phone number in the USA, Mexico, and Canada for free!

Just say "Alexa call 860-867-5309" to call Jenny and it will call it.

Very cool! (If your device does not work with it yet, it will soon. The update started rolling out about an hour ago)

Now that is pretty neat. My wife will be using this.

I guess they will not be announcing this feature until tomorrow.

It works really well.

Just tried one of mine and she said, "Sorry, I can not call a phone number". Guess, I will wait and try again tomorrow.

Working this morning. Works good too.

Tied to the new Amazon Echoes announced yesterday, this sounds like a pretty cool setup! Look out Verizon, here comes Amazon!
