Let me see how many contacts I have who own compatible Alexa devices and actually will give a damn about using them to make calls or send messages. Hmmm, imagine that, not a single contact, and that includes me. Nope, this is yet another feature I will never use. If I wanted to video conference with someone I would use Facetime. Yet in all the years I've owned iPhones/iPads, and with all the family and friends who own them too, none of them have ever suggested using it.
