You can place a voice call to someone with an Echo device or the Alexa app, and you can receive such calls as well. The Alexa app supports Alexa-to-Alexa calling on an iPhone with iOS 9.0 or higher and an Android phone with Android 5.0 or higher. With an Echo Show, you can place and receive video calls.

I would rather use the amazon echo dot speakers or the amazon echo show speaker which has a screen. Both are equipped with mediatek chipsets and have really good audio quality. Very useful esp if u have kids in da house

where can one get it?

I agree. The echo dot 4th gen has such a nice audio setup. Plus alexa is super fast because it has a nice upgraded mediatek chipset inside.

amazon echo speakers are very efficient compared with other smart speakers in the same price. audio is great and connectivity and performance from the mediatek platform is very good too
