It would be so nice if cell phones could act like pagers, so if out of hearing range you can talk and hear it better instead of having to walk to each other to talk (you’d have to be able to turn if off when in church, appts etc). A neighbor just told me they use Alexa somehow to help them communicate. I’m looking into seeing if I can find some type of inexpensive paging type system in our home to help us since he has hearing issue and me mobility.

My daughter has an Alexa unit in her kitchen and one upstairs in her teenager’s bedroom- it’s great- you say, “Alexa- tell (name) it’s time to get up”, and “she” does- you can set the volume. They have it programmed for “Alexa, turn on (or off) the front door light”, the living room light, etc. if you buy it from Best Buy, you can pay for a Geek Squad person to come out, set everything up, register the warranty, and show you how to use it. I just did that with a printer- worth every cent!!! No hassle, no frustration with the online instructions (seems nothing tech has paper instructions anymore), no frustration with phone support people), etc.
