Alexa Communication allows one to make calls to a person landline, mobile, or Alexa speaker with a voice command. 

If you want to call your friend Sara on her mobile phone, then just say, “Call Sara’s mobile.”

To call on her landline say, “Call Sara on her home phone.” (Sara’s phone and landline must be saved in the right manner)

How to Receive Calls with Alexa?

Receiving calls with Alexa smart speaker is a bit limited function. If you stay in the UK, then only Videophone Red Pay users can take advantage of hands-free calling with Alexa.

Receiving calls with Alexa is simple. When you receive a call on your speaker, then Alexa will tell you the name of the person who is calling. To receive the incoming call, just say, “answer.”

If you want to reject a call, then you can also do that by saying “ignore” to your Alexa. But, it will just stop the ringtone sound of your speaker not decline it. And your smartphone will still be ringing. You can mute your smartphone ringing volume to hear the ringtone only in your smart speaker. It will allow you to ignore the unwanted call.

With Alexa, making and answering phone calls has become super easy and convenient. Hopefully, the Alexa Communication service will be rolled out for other countries as well.
