Can Alexa Call 999?

Published in Technology 1 min read

No, Alexa cannot directly call emergency services like 999.

Alexa is designed to be a helpful assistant for everyday tasks, but it's not equipped to handle emergency situations. Calling 999 requires a direct connection to the emergency services network, which Alexa doesn't have.

However, you can use Alexa to make calls to regular phone numbers. You can also use Alexa to set up emergency contacts, who can be contacted in case of an emergency.

Here are some examples of how to use Alexa for non-emergency calls:

  • "Alexa, call [phone number]." This will initiate a call to the specified number.
  • "Alexa, call [contact name]." This will call the contact you have saved in your Alexa app.

To set up emergency contacts:

  1. Open the Alexa app.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Select Emergency Contacts.
  4. Add the phone numbers of your emergency contacts.

While Alexa can't directly call 999, it can still be a helpful tool for communication in non-emergency situations. Remember, in an emergency, always call 999 directly.
