Open the Amazon Alexa app (on your compatible iOS or Android phone). To get started with Alexa calling for the first time, you need to sign up for it: Note: Alexa does not support calls to emergency service numbers ("911"), premium-rate numbers ("1-900" numbers), three-digit numbers or abbreviated dial codes, international numbers (outside of the US, UK, Canada, and Mexico), and dial-by-letter numbers ("1-800-FLOWERS"). Group calling: You can setup groups for calling in the Alexa app with up to seven people, so you can then call those groups directly. Just make sure the contact you want to reach is in a location that also supports Alexa Calling, has signed up for Alexa Calling and Messaging, and is listed in your contacts list in the Amazon Alexa app. International calls: You can make and receive international calls between compatible Echo devices and the Amazon Alexa app. This gives you the ability to make and receive calls between anyone from your phone's contacts list who has the Alexa app or a compatible Echo device, and who has also signed up for Alexa Calling and Messaging. Alexa app calling: With the Amazon Alexa app on your Android or iOS smartphone (not available on a tablet), you can make calls to mobile or landline numbers in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Mobile or landline calling: You can call most mobile or landline numbers in the UK, US, Canada, and Mexico from a compatible Echo device, use Alexa to reach supported numbers saved to your mobile phone's contacts list, or, say the number you want to call. You can reach anyone from your mobile phone's contacts list who has a compatible Echo device and who has also signed up for Alexa Calling. Alexa-to-Alexa calling: Make and receive calls between compatible Echo devices (or the Amazon Alexa app, more on that below). You can make the following types of calls: If you don't sync your contacts, you can only use it to contact other Echo or Alexa devices that you're signed into - like an intercom system. 
Alternatively, you can use Alexa to call other Echo devices that your contacts have. You can sync the Alexa app with your contacts on your smartphone and this will allow Alexa to call phone numbers, meaning you can call from your Echo to a mobile phone, for example. Once you've set it up via the Alexa app, you'll be able to use the service across all your Echo and Alexa devices, as long as it's enabled on each individual device - which it is by default. Everything must be set-up using the Alexa app, where you'll find the Communicate tab.
You need an Amazon account and the Alexa app on a device running Android 6.0 (or higher), iOS 11.0 (or higher), or on an Android Fire tablet.

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".
