The best bit about the feature is that it's free to use as it works over Wi-Fi (or mobile data on your phone), so you don't need to invest in a talk plan. Not only can you place a call using the feature, but you can also leave a voice message or send a text-based message. It works with compatible Echo devices, the Alexa app, and it works with Fire tablets. The free feature was first introduced on the original Amazon Echo Show, but Amazon has extended this functionality to other Echo and Alexa devices, so it developed what we now call "Alexa calling" or "Alexa calling and messaging".
