Thanks for responding. From what the Amazon rep told me, I was having a problem because I was uisng the app on my laptop, which disrupts the bluetooth connection. Not sure if he is correct, but I will go along with that and see how it goes. When he gave me instructions to get it connected, he had me do the usual thing that I say: "Alexa, pair with bluetooth" (at first it was still saying "searching").
I will use my phone Alexa app if I just want to play music or radio with the app. My echo rarely understands my requests to play music from my library Usually "can't find it" or plays samples of music that I don't want to hear.
Last night when I went to use the Alexa app on my phone, it updated and asked for my phone number, etc., for the calling feature that I will probably not use. Tonight it was intermittently glowing green and I asked it why it was turning green and it said it means I have a message and I should ask for the message. The message was that it was connected to my phone and I should let my family/friends who have an echo to get the app so we could make calls through it. Hardly anyone in my real life has an echo, certainly no one who I call.
