Orbi Voice (RBS40V) cannot make phone calls via Alexa
Just trying to learn the features of our recently purchased Orbi Voice RBS40V. I just tried to make a phone call on our new Orbi RS40V but it says "Calling with Alexa is not supported on this dev...
I thought there used to be an article that went over what did and didn't work for alexa on the orbi voice.
I looked for a bit and couldn't find it.
working: checking weather, playing music, settings reminders, interacting with alexa, alexa commands "alexa, lights off", etc.
not working: calls
Not sure if theres a specific task/thing you're wondering about.

Thank you for your response.
I love tech and want to know everything about the device. It would really be helpful if that article shows up.
- I know when it first came out it didn't support the multi-room audio but I've heard a couple people say it is now. I don't currently have my rbk50 system running to reconnect my rbs40v and test it with.
Based on what I am reading (by searching on the forum), RBS40V is not really an Amazon Echo/Echo Dot as it can't do everything what the mentioned Amazon devices can do so we're keeping these Amazon devices for now.
But I am still wanting to get acquainted with this device and curious to know more. If ever you find that link or a list of its limitations as compared to Amazon Echo/Echo Dot, please let me know.
Thanks again for your help!
