NOT WHAT I WANTED!!!
I wanted her to ring all the Echos in my house, and establish a voice connection (video if I buy some Shows) between the calling one and the answering one. In other words a whole house intercom.
Is that too much to ask for?
By the way, of the several hundred contacts in my address book, only one showed up as being enabled. That was a former boss I had whom I never expect to talk to again. I don't even know why I didn't delete her from my address book.

I think you will be better off just buying a dedicated whole house intercom if that will be the primary use of a Show if you buy it. Actually you would need at least two Shows for that, and even with $100 off for buying two, the cost will still be $360. I don't know how much whole house intercoms cost, but I bet you can get a better deal with a dedicated device and not have to fret over what the heck Amazon is doing with your contact list. I won't even give Google my contact list for gmail. I don't trust either of those companies.
