Q: Can Echo Owl be used to call a contact number? I am looking for a device for an elderly blind person who cannot see to dial a number on a phone.
submitted by Louise - 8 months ago
A: Hello Louise and thank you for your question! Yes, you can use the Amazon echo dot to call contact numbers. Here is a quick peek at how to set that feature up:
Set Up in the Alexa App:
Open the Alexa App: Launch the app on your smartphone.
Go to Communicate: Tap the Communicate icon (speech bubble) at the bottom.
Verify Info: Follow the prompts to verify your mobile phone number and grant access to your contacts.
Link Mobile Number (Optional, for Mobile Calls): For calling actual mobile/landline numbers, go to More > Settings > Communication, select your carrier, and follow instructions to link your phone service if available.
Once set that person can make calls with their voice through these prompts:
To another Alexa device: Say, "Alexa, call [Contact's Name]" or "Alexa, call [Contact's Name]'s Echo".
To a mobile/landline (if linked): Say, "Alexa, call [Contact's Name] on mobile," or "Alexa, call [Contact's Name] on his home phone".
To end a call: Say, "Alexa, hang up" or "Alexa, end call".
Hope this helps! Have a great day!

submitted by Leah C - 2 years ago
A: Hello Leah C, the Amazon Echo Dot will allow you play Audible books. It's one of my favorite things to use my Echo devices for. Say, “Alexa, read my book,” and Alexa will pick up the latest book you've listened to, or ask for a specific book title from your Audible library by saying “Alexa, read The Hobbit."

A: Hi Leah C, thanks for reaching out about Amazon Kids Echo Dot (5th Gen 2022).
For most kids, once you've taught them how to ask Alexa to play an Audible book once or twice, they'll be up and running with no trouble. What are the parental controls on an Echo Dot? For any Alexa device, you can turn on Amazon Kids settings in the Alexa app.

My kids love it
Both my sons love it. And I really like it too. They have it in their bedroom. The only thing is that it was very hard to set up. Since we also have an Alexa in our room, I had a difficult time doing the drop in and then you also have to be careful because then your kids have access to your Alexa so you have to also figure that out so they don’t mess with your Alexa other than that it was good. I really like it cause I can drop in on the room and let them know anything.

not worth it
I realize this is a kids version. But it offers very little flexibility with what you're aloud to do on it. It's not worth it.
1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 5 months ago
Hi Katie, Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Amazon Kids Echo Dot (5th Gen). We're sorry to hear that the device didn't meet your expectations regarding flexibility and functionality. We understand that even with kid-focused features, you were hoping for more options and control over what can be done on the device. The Kids Edition is designed with parental controls and age-appropriate content in mind, which does limit some features compared to the standard Echo Dot. However, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, as feedback like yours helps us understand what families are looking for in these products. If you'd like to explore the standard Echo Dot (5th Gen) for more flexibility, or if you have any questions about the device's capabilities, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at 1-888-280-4331 or through the Alexa app.

Dissapointed in lack of respect for my purchase
The delivery by Fed X was caught on my Ring camera. The delivery person just through the box containing the eco dot on to my porch. When I opened the box, the echo dot wasn’t even wrapped with cushioning paper. This is a gift. I am very offended by the treatment of my order. Both by Target and by FedX.

Kid friendly and easy to set up
The owl is really cute! Looks just like the photo shown. Kid friendly, and easy to set up! All our kids have one and enjoy listening to music in their rooms. We also use these as “intercoms” instead of yelling for one another when we are across the house. Love them!!

Perfect for kids
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were tired of our kids always taking over the dot in our living room to play music so when we saw this kids version, we knew it was just what we needed. It works every bit as well as the adult version but comes in an adorable design perfect for kids. We love it!
