 Hello everyone this is Amit Dan of AmitDan.com. Today I will have another episode of Alexa Tips and Tricks video and I will talk about how to make free phone calls using Alexa. So Alexa let's see make free phone calls using some supported devices and on your mobile or cell phone which I will show you today. Before I start I have some information on the card so it will be easier for you to look at it if you would like to discuss or see this later on. So basically you can make calls via any supported devices. You can make call from Alexa on phone and echo devices. So in general most of the devices which have echo name in front of it they are compatible. You can make phone calls using them and if you have an Alexa Fire Tablet in Canada which is not compatible you cannot make phone calls using that. And then you can call between Alexa devices as well and then the calls are supported in these countries. Canada, USA, UK and Mexico but you are not able to make any emergency calls like you know our premium calls or any calls like 9-1-1-2-1-1-4-1-1 this type of calls premium calls means that for calls which you have to pay like you know 900 or some other calls or like you know 1-800 flowers which has like you know worse in the phone number. So these are the basic information. Before you start calling or making phone calls via Alexa you have to set it up and here are the instructions. So basically you are going to be going to communicate section of your Alexa app on your phone and then you're going to have to you know grant Alexa permission to access your contacts and then register your phone number. It may be possible to make phone calls without registering your phone number but then if you are calling someone then it's going to show up unknown instead of displaying your number so it's recommended that you register your phone number. So let's start with the Alexa app. So once you have installed Alexa on your phone just click on the Amazon Alexa to open the app and then here you're going to see some options on the bottom for example home, communicate, play. So if you click on communicate then you'll come to this screen. Now here you're going to see like you know a person symbol and you're going to have to click on here. So if you just you know click on here and this is going to bring you to a screen which looks like this. So from here you're going to have to click on my communication setting. So if you do that so once you've communication settings then you're going to come to a page like this and here you can see that you know show caller ID and then allow dropping. I don't have to like you know I don't see the permission to access contact because I have already you know gone through that process but for the first time you're gonna have to like you know go through that steps which will be right here and then basically you can just like you know once you set up on this page you'll be able to make phone calls using Alexa. So now just a few more notes. You can call any country if you're calling from Alexa to Alexa. So basically the other person has to have Alexa's on their phone or Alexa devices and then if you would like to make landline or any telephone number calls then only US, Canada, you can Mexico this country is supported. Now you can either call by calling the name of the contact for example call mom or call you know John or call any person who's on your contact list or you can call by giving the phone number for example Alexa call 416-123-4567. Then there's the feature which is called drop-in so you can like you know if you have this on then you can just like you know call another device anytime. You have to enable this and then the other person has to enable this and then you can call from your one device to another device within your home so you can do that too. And in order to make calls you don't need actually any Muslim devices even just you know using call using your phone as long as you have Alexa app installed and unfortunately you cannot receive calls on Alexa app or any Alexa devices except that when you're calling from Echo to Echo then that time you can you know receive calls on your Amazon devices or when you're doing Alexa to Alexa calls that time. This is a good feature or good option for those who do not have long-distance services and you can call you know whoever is in the one of those countries and you can save lots of money on long distance and the call quality is very good it's very easy to use. So I'm just going to show you a quick example of how it works so I'm just going to ask Alexa to call one of the numbers on my contact list so I'm going to say Alexa call Visa main concierge. Did you mean Visa concierge? Yes. Calling Visa concierge is main. So you can see that you know this works just fine and call quality is very good you know you wouldn't even the other person wouldn't even know that you know you're calling using Alexa they think that you know you're calling using your phone and you can actually use this feature if you're traveling and if you're in another country so you can just call you know your local number from your Alexa app so that's another that that comes in handy when you're traveling and you don't want to pay like in a long distance or international calls or you don't want to buy any SIM card or anything you only need to have Wi-Fi. So that's all for today thank you for watching this video forget about subscribing to this channel forget about liking this video there'll be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly thank you
