Alexa’s calling capabilities are arriving in a few new markets. Amazon has rolled out that feature in the UK, Germany, and Austria. People can now talk with their smart speaker and use the included digital assistant to place a phone call. This feature is already available in the US.
Calling and messaging are available on the full line of Echo speakers as well as through the Alexa app on iOS and Android.
Starting next month, video calling features will also be available on the Echo Show in the UK.
