yes... when I go to contacts, it says:
Alexa has xxx contacts stored on the cloud. Use the Alexa app to review cloud contacts.
No contacts found.

I am dumb... but I don't see anything on the Alexa app that tells me how to get to the cloud contacts. Just a place to add new contacts.

I really don't want to open my Echo to every person that I have my contacts list. I was concerned about contacts that could open me to solicitations by commercial entities.
..........................................................................................................
So... if I manually add a contact, could I call that person with my Alexa echo?
.........................................................................................................
My son calls me on the echo, "drop in on"... but I don't show him as a contact. How does that work?
..........................................................................................................
I've had, and used... the echo for almost a year, and think I signed on to it, using a smartphone and a number that is no longer valid. Does that mean that Amazon is now using my landline as authorization?

The "internet" seems to think that everyone has a smartphone to use apps... It gets confusing to this old man. My Alexa "app" is on my PC Desktop.

Thanks for the replies. No need to answer these questions... it all works well enough for me as it is today. It was a "just wondering" thingy.

My next harassing question will be about the Fire Stick... so far, so good, but using Alexa voice commands seems to be iffy on my "not smart TV".
Today's a snow day here in Peru... (Chicago area), so I have the day off.
