Do they not have a phone?

When I get home from work, my phone gets place on the charging base in my pantry. My son and grandkids can call me in my shop or in my home though the Echo.


Just purchased two Dots for my grand kid's room. They call me at night to say good night and they listen to audible books before going to bed. There are also spelling and math games they can play.

At home, it controls my thermostat and my stove vent fan located in my attic. I use the timers for cooking, alarm for waking up and listen to KPEL news in the morning while getting ready for work.

And items to my shopping list though I purchase fresh groceries from Walmart. Play my music playlists or my wife's playlist.

In my shop, my Dot plays my music and soon will be able to voice control my dust collector without searching for the damn remote. Wife can also tell me my sammich is ready. I can ask it to convert inches to mm. Add items to my shop reorder list.
