Amazon Echo’s price crash comes as the retail giant just released a new update for the hardware that makes it more useful than ever.

Amazon recently announced it was rolling out an update to Echo owners that would allow them to make Skype calls using Alexa.

In order to enable the new functionality, users should open the Alexa application on their smartphone, or go to alexa.amazon.com to add a Skype account.

Once Echo owners have opened the app or webpage, they should head to menu > settings > communication.

Then they should press the option to add a Skype account that will present a sign-in page.

Once Skype has been linked, Echo owners can then summon Alexa to make calls.

The new update is being released in the US, UK, India, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.

Amazon has insisted it is “starting” to rollout the new feature, meaning if your Echo has not received the addition you will have to wait patiently until it arrives.
