The Alexa lineup, which includes home and portable Echo devices as well as an app, now allows people to easily call their friends and family by simply uttering a command.
You can relive the days of land-line living, but this time, there’s no headset to wedge under your ear as you try to cook dinner or mix a drink or reorganize your DVD collection. All you need in an Amazon Echo device or app, and a friend or family member who has one too.
Don’t have your own Echo yet? Amazon is currently offering some deals if you buy more than one. You can save $80 when you order two of the flagship Echo devices, which otherwise cost $180 apiece, with the coupon code “ECHO2PACK.”
The Echo Dot is a more affordable option if you want to get into the Echo game.
Or, get more bang for your buck with the Echo Dot ($49.99). If you buy three, you'll save $20 with the coupon code “DOT3PACK.” The Dot may not have all the bells and whistles of the Echo, but you can still call with it. Give the extras as a gift, or split the cost with your bffs so you can gab the night away.
The best part is that the Echo devices can do so much more than making calls, and once you have one, you’ll never want to give it up.
