    Hi all, I just got the amazon tap and I cannot even connect it to the wifi for the registration. When I follow the procedure at some point it asks me to connect to the Amazon-xxx network (which i already don’t understand which kind of open network is, why doesn’t it ask me to connect to my network?), so I do it, then Alexa says it is connected and to proceed with the Alexa app but when I go back to the app there is no way to proceed. I read about some similar issue in UK with the BT connection but not sure if it is related. I use M1 fiber broadband. Hope someone can help, thanks

    • SingaBoleh May 4, 2016, 11:25 am

      Yes, Amazon Echo support dual voltage 110v – 240v. You can use Amazon Echo in Singapore. See one of the video in this post where the Echo is operating in Singapore.

      • Joey Feb 24, 2017, 1:58 pm

        I heard that the Echo Dot’s Voltage is 110V which is not compatible to SG voltage. Hence, is it still usable in SG?

        • SingaBoleh Feb 24, 2017, 8:36 pm

          Not too sure where you got the information, we have Amazon Echo and Echo Dot working fine with us. They are powered by adapter which is duo-voltage 110v-220v.

    How did you managed to download the Amazon Alexa App? It’s not available in Singapore Apple App store and you are not allowed to download it in US App store.

    • SingaBoleh Apr 15, 2016, 12:18 am

      You will need an US itunes account, else you may also use android device to install and run the app.
