[@magnusbludworth7690]

thank you for the reminder to mute Alexa!

[@brendanleonard1375]

Great video. Wanting to get this set up for my great aunt who is living by herself and we want her to be able to call for help if she falls or something. She lived with my grandma until she passed away so now she isn't living with anybody and we want to make sure she is safe. Thanks for the video.

[@TechSteve]

You’re welcome and I’m happy that I could help you out.

[@brendanleonard1375]

Tech Steve Also, I just found Ask my buddy. I could use this in conjunction with calling.

[@TechSteve]

Far as I know these devices are self contained and 3 party apps don’t work some features mostly IFTTT or approve home automated gadgets

[@jafferysequeira]

Do you by any chance have an idea if this feature works with the Bose home speaker 300 cuz it has Alexa in it

[@couponsrfunbyjennifer419]

Hi Brendan I was trying to set up my uncles Alexa for the same thing in case he falls because he recently fell and luckily fell near his phone. I kept trying to figure it out and now I watch this video but I feel like I didn’t ask for the phone number. Hopefully when I get back to his house so I can figure it out.

[@David25522]

Very helpful!!! Thanks!

[@7Felixmaxim]

Thanks, this worked!

[@jameyhibberd6659]

it work's great. this is awesome.

[@cheenuray]

Sir... Can we make a call from a remote place... To Alexa at home and... Be able to communicate??? In which case... Could we uses the same number from where the call is being made ... As the host device for Alexa to be linked to.... Or do we need another cell number with Alexa app... That's somewhere within the vicinity of Alexa at home??? Please enlighten... Thank you very much. I wish to know if a call can be made to baby at home through Alexa speaker while I'm at office.... Gratitude

[@janicestallworth6794]

Can this work with iPhone 6s?

[@kathrynwatts2764]

Hi just wondering g if my husband's can use this to make calls from his cell. He's recently disabled and has limited use of his hands. Would like him to have the option of making calls when he's alone a couple hours between myself and caregivers

[@TechSteve]

+Kathryn Watts yes once programmed you can ask it commands and here the list on amazon www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202136150

[@kathrynwatts2764]

So I keep getting the response that this the device doesn't support calling

[@cabosh]

Kathryn Watts you may need to get the Amazon Alexa app on your phone so your husband can call you with the echo and you should receive the call on your phone through the app providing you have an internet connection. I'm not sure if regular calling works globally, only in limited countries. Hope this is of some help!

[@latanyasharp4317]

Hi Steve I just got Alexa and I am liking it so far I saw a couple of your videos and subscribed to your channel how you I connect my Iphone so that I can answer calls it keeps telling me there are no incoming calls when I ask her to answer the phone. I already updated my contacts help please or advise thanks

[@TechSteve]

Here’s the information from amazon’s web site amzn.to/2ncxyA0

[@latanyasharp4317]

Can I call anyone with it like the one's who don't have alexa too?

[@jhonalvarez3486]

Need to know how to connect to my phone by hotspot to echo dot if im on my car is that possible? Hope you can have and answer.

[@TechSteve]

+Jhon Alvarez it will work, the concept is to connect your phone to the echo via Wi-Fi 1st then program any Wi-Fi connection you want in to the echo with the Alexa app

[@raneeanderson1193]

[@twinkles551]

No Sir...you cannot connect the echo dot only using your cell as a hot spot. You have to use 2 devices that are compatible with the Alexa app. I tried downloading the app on my tablet and my next book 8.0 and neither are compatible with this app. Can't be done.

[@TechSteve]

The Alexa has a output for speaker 🔊 but not a input for phones. You can Bluetooth your phone to it instead for audio.

[@TseringChonden]

I did as per your instruction on video but its not working when put code and continue pls

[@alext2963]

amazing that they post this video, but don't reply to questions here. Mine doesn't give me the options as shown. I see several others having the same problem. Why don't you answer "Tech Steve"?

[@TechSteve]

The first thing you need to check is your Android or IOS version. You will only see the conversation icon if you have Android 5 or IOS 9, or higher - something Amazon does not mention. On android go to settings and about phone to check the software version on Apple go to settings, general, about and look for software version.

[@couponsrfunbyjennifer419]

Hi I was trying to set up my uncles new Alexa so He can call me on his Alexa. I kept trying to figure it out and she didn’t seem to know what I wanted to do. I will double check this when I get to his house again.

[@tishomingoswcd]

Steve, I am wanting to setup echo dots throughout my mom's house so if she falls she can call out and ask Alexa to call for help. My mom does not have internet all I am wanting to do is have a speaker system set up to her phone so she can make calls. How do I do this?

[@TechSteve]

Sorry but none of these devices work without internet, that where it gets data to answer questions “iot” the internet of things. Maybe life alert or something will work for better.

[@TechSteve]

It only works with cloud based music services, you have to use Bluetooth from your phone for personal music.

[@mariasy-rondaris9251]

Can you use set up Alexa Echo Dot without wifi? Please help

[@TechSteve]

No, it’s gets its info from Amazon servers and there’s no Ethernet input.

[@TechSteve]

It still works the same. This video shows most options kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3Kqk4mer9-Wgqs

[@salc9593]

Question... to "Bluetooth" to an echo. This must be done from the Cell Phone with the Alexa App on the phone? Correct?? The reason I ask is I have a phone with Bluetooth on it. but no access to the Alexa App... Can I use my table to sync my phone to the Echo? Thank you for any help or direction. Your other videos have been a great help.

[@seuratguy]

So, let me get this straight. Alexa uses my wi-fi (internet) connection for the phone calls and texts, NOT my cell phone's cellular connection, right? If my cell phone was off, I could still place voice calls from Alexa (data going over internet)?

[@ShinRai1090]

Have you figured this out? 😂 Sorry for necro~ing on your comment... I'm trying to call but it says it can only call ppl who are signed up for alexa calling (have alexa installed etc)... It can't call just about anyone?

[@seuratguy]

@@ShinRai1090 Sorry, I never figured it out and forgot about it. I wish I could help more.

[@ShinRai1090]

@LESLIE MATOS yes she can but she only calls contacts with alexa installed 😕... Not direct mobile numbers from your contact list

[@burgundyhome7492]

Thats my conclusion as well. The echo dot can't make a normal simple call from your contact list. If you ask me this device is not very useful at all.

Hello and thanks for the video. If I buy two devices (one left at home and the other to be used in my office), can I chat with my family or at least leave them voice messages without the use of the mobile phone? what I exactly mean goes like: Me at the office: Alexa. I would like to leave a voice message to Alexa2. Alexa: what is your message? Me at the office: Bla bla bla bla bla Alexa: message sent Alexa 2 at my family home: You recieved a message, would you like to hear it? Family at home :Yes please Alexa2: Bla bla bla bla bla Alexa2: would you like to reply to the message? Family at home: Yes please Alexa2: please record your message now and so on..... What do you think? Is this doable yet?
