Anyway Echo Dot can call the Alexa App?
« on: December 12, 2017, 03:00:49 pm »
Bought an echo dot for disabled family member without smartphone. Set it up using Android Alexa app on my smartphone.

Drop-in from Alexa app is handy. Easy for me to checkin remotely. Like to get the reverse communication working. I realize they could just ask Echo to call my mobile number. Are there ways for Echo just to call the Alexa app?

The reason I am looking for this is I have found VOIP to VOIP apps usually works well (like skype, hangouts, facetime etc..) But when they call a mobile or land line through carrier's network, quality usually degrades. For example, googlevoice/OOMA calling moble/land line.

I don't think the Dot can call your Alexa app.  I think we can only make calls with the app and not receive calls on the app.   The calls on Amazon Alexa devices seem pretty clear to me.

Yes, this seems to be my experience so far as well so perhaps not much of an issue.
