The feature is likely meant to rival Google Home's voice calling, which doesn't require an existing landline.

Amazon's gadget, though, has the advantage of working with its existing lineup of Echo devices, so you don't need to upgrade to a new Echo to take advantage of the device's speakerphone functionality.

The Echo Connect is available for pre-order today and will start shipping December 13th.
