Amazon's Echo speakers are about to get a new superpower: phone calls.
The company just unveiled a new gadget, the Echo Connect, which allows you to make landline phone calls via your Echo.

It works with international and emergency calls and is compatible with the Amazon Echo, Echo Plus, Echo Dot, Echo Spot, and Echo Show.

After the Connect is, er, connected to your phone line (via a phone jack), you can sync your contacts to the Alexa app on your phone. Once your contacts are synced, all you have to do is ask Alexa to call one of the numbers you've added.
It also allows you to answer your phone with the command "Alexa, answer the phone."
The feature is likely meant to rival Google Home's voice calling, which doesn't require an existing landline.
Amazon's gadget, though, has the advantage of working with its existing lineup of Echo devices, so you don't need to upgrade to a new Echo to take advantage of the device's speakerphone functionality.
The Echo Connect is available for pre-order today and will start shipping December 13th.
