what's really exciting uh-huh you start off you can actually make phone calls I
mean I'm not sure Well that's okay we will be sure because we're going to show
you how to make Alexa phone calls and leave messages but before we get to that why

calls with this Amazon echo if any of your phone contacts have the Alexa app
installed in their phones you can call each other now here is a quick minute on
setting it up Alexa phone calling you have a minute to win it here now if you happen
to be in Canada or another country where you can't download the Alexa app don't worry
we can do a video for you just let me know alright so let's get started now
what you want to do is you want to sign into the Alexa app once you sign in you're
actually going to be directed now if you don't have an Amazon account you can
create a new one now from there you can introduce a new way to be together with
Alexa you can actually call and message your friends and family which is pretty
neat now you have to click the button to get started once you do that Alexa gets
to know you so you can actually personalize your experience and connect
with friends and family click on your name now you can call and message your
friends you click the figure in the top right corner now it imports your
contacts and it uses your phone's address book to do that now you can
actually click on edit as well so it will take you through it and you can
change your name accordingly so it's pretty neat now I'm going to go by Cindy
because heck we know each other am i right and then you can press to leave a
message it will actually give you a message or a phone so you can choose
which way you want to do it you hold the mic button down to leave a message you
can call a message your friends and family and have an echo
devices do it for you you install the app on your phone and you press the
