If I set up a smart home using an amazon echo plus 2nd gen, will I need any other hardware to enable voice calling?

 

Many thanks, Marlene

The Alexa software on the Echo allows outbound VOIP voice calling and inbound calling via the Alexa App (i.e. you can't assign a telephone number to it).  Your Echo just needs a network connection to so.  So, as long as you place it in range of the U-verse Gateway (or whatever other Wi-Fi solution you need), you should be set.
