One of this year’s most popular tech gifts:
· Amazon Echo, the Wi-Fi Connected Speaker, is a hands-free, voice-controlled speaker that uses Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, and more.
· Alexa is Amazon’s cloud-based voice service, to play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather, and now the AT&T Send Message skill.
· AT&T is the first carrier to offer this skill that lets you send text messages from your mobile number to your predetermined list of contacts that will recognize you.
· The AT&T Send Message skill is ideal if you’re in a hurry or busy with your hands. Just ask Alexa to have AT&T text your friend and then Alexa will prompt you to say your text message. You can add up to ten frequent contacts to the skill so can send them text messages without typing on your smartphone.
You can’t go wrong with giving these next items:
· Buying for someone who is always losing things? Tile is great for anyone who is misplacing items like keys or wallets.
· Tile is a tiny Bluetooth tracker and easy-to-use app that finds everyday like phones, keys, purse, and luggage – or the Tile Slim that fits in your wallet.
- If your phone is within 100-feet of the Tile, it can make the Tile play music until the lost item is found!
- Also works in reverse—just double tap the Tile, and your phone will start ringing (even if it is set to silent!)
