First, I have the latest version of the Alexa app on my non-activated Android phone. I don't own an activated cell phone, so that's my only option. This may be the reason intercom setup isn't working, but I'm not sure.
In the Alexa app, I went to Settings>General and individually changed the names of my Echo and two Dots to Kitchen, Living Room, and Bedroom. I then set "Drop-In" to "On" for each device. (I also tried setting "Drop In" to "Only my household" with no effect.)
That's all I did. Is there another step I missed (or are unable to perform due to the phone's non-activated status)?
When I'm in the kitchen, I say, "Echo, call living room." The kitchen device responds, "To make calls, first register in your Alexa app." 
Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong? My Echo devices have the latest software according to this page. |
I tried the same steps you did using my activated iPhone 7, but she still said, "To make calls, first register in your Alexa app." Where did you find these instructions. My Echo and Dot gen 2 both have the latest listed FW according to that web page, but perhaps they haven't kept the page up to date.
And BTW, my Echo and Dot were both already set to Drop In = ON. That pisses me off. They should be set to OFF unless we want them turned ON. I probably would never have noticed if I hadn't gone in to see if I could help out DreamWriter as I won't be using the intercom feature.
