Has anyone tried out the Vodafone Alexa skill?

It would be great to use my Echo for something other than playing music!

Hi @JohnUK it's not appearing yet if I search skills for it so not been able to try it yet. As far as I know it's not yet released, unless you have managed to find it somewhere?

Why does Vodafone have to advertise it if it is not released it?

I saw it on Facebook, so searched for and it showed me the O2 skill. :smileyvery-happy:

Raining and cold at the moment. I guess that is what we call summer!  Hope it gets warm for the weekend otherwise I'll end up talking to Alexa all weekend.

Thanks for the link to the blog post. Exciting stuff coming!

@JohnUK - I’m hoping summer makes an appearance again this weekend too! :smileylol:

Let us know what you think, when we launch Alexa skill!

Gemma - the skill works a dream!

Is Tobi the same and how can I try Tobi?

@JohnUK - Currently, the routing to Tobi is random so there isn’t a direct link.

You can find more info on this on our blog page.

Hi Gemma, I'm really curious to understand how Voda built this skill so quickly and with such great features. I'm researching how to make my own. Would you be able to connect me with the Alexa team at vodafone to pick up a conversation from there? Thanks!
