In order to speak to Amazon Echo, you need to say the activation word first, for example:
“Alexa, how many kilogram for 9 pounds?”
“Alexa, what time is it?”
“Alexa, play We Are The World.”
“Alexa, wikipedia Lee Kuan Yew.” (Wikipedia can be used as verb now)
“Alexa, what is he weather in Tokyo tomorrow?”
By the way, ‘Alexa’ is Amazon Echo’s default activation word (also know as the ‘name’ for the speaker, you can change it to any name of your choice).
Echo is connects via dual-antenna, dual-band Wi-Fi, so it should have no problem to be used in Singapore or Malaysia. It is on all the times and connected to Amazon Cloud. When you ask Amazon Echo a question, it will take your request to the cloud, from there the request will be parsed and responded immediately. Since Echo is relies on Amazon Cloud Services, so Amazon promise that it will gain more functionality over time. Currently Echo can act upon request for weather, news and information from a variety of sources, including local radio stations, NPR, and ESPN from TuneIn. Play your music from your Amazon Music Library, Prime Music, TuneIn, and iHeartRadio. It can also assists in setting alarms, timers, and prepare shopping and to-do lists. To answer your specific questions, Amazon Echo will ping Wikipedia for retrieving answers.

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

Hi, can i check is it okay to buy from amazon us and ship to sg ourselves and it the plug n voltage compatible? Cus I know some US appliance doesn’t work in sg cus of the voltage.
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.
I heard that the Echo Dot’s Voltage is 110V which is not compatible to SG voltage. Hence, is it still usable in SG?
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.
Hi.. can you share me the link to download the alexa app pls? M struggling with it.. thanks a lot..
You can refer to the recent comment in this post, there is instruction about how to install Alexa app in Singapore.
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.
You will need an US itunes account, else you may also use android device to install and run the app.
