Umm...I don't own a cell phone.
They do seem to require it:

This free feature provides calling and messaging between supported Echo devices and the Alexa app on compatible iOS and Android phones.

This feature is available to Alexa customers in the United States. All you need to sign up is an Amazon account, the Alexa app, and a cell phone number.
I don't have a smartphone. My phone is the old school flip phone, so I'm not sure it would work.

I really have no desire to use this feature, because I can call or text easily from my cell phone.
