    Apologies if this should be in the Alexa sticky but no movement in 4 months so I said I’d put it here.

    Can I use my echo dot as a loud speaker or “intercom” to call people through my iPhone? Or does the person you want to call have to have the Alexa app?

    Yes, your phone is essentially another Alexa device via the app, so you can drop in on another of your devices

    Echo Connect then is an option - £29.99

    • Connect your home phone to your compatible Alexa-enabled device to call any phone number, using just your voice.
    • Echo Connect uses your existing home phone service (analog landline or VoIP) to make and receive calls (operator charges may apply).
    • Simply plug Echo Connect into your home phone jack, complete setup with the Alexa App or on alexa.amazon.co.uk, and you're ready to make and receive calls.
    • Easily sync all your contacts from a smartphone or tablet. Don't have an existing address book or mobile device? Use alexa.amazon.co.uk to quickly add the contacts you need from any Internet-connected PC or Mac.
    • Connect your home phone to your compatible Alexa-enabled device and call contacts and voice-dial numbers from across the room and navigate automated phone systems with your voice.
    • Echo Connect will work with your compatible Alexa-enabled devices. Only one Echo Connect needed per phone line.
