Amazon Echo: Get Your Uber Rides, Pizza Pies and Hit Music Here
Amazon last week added Uber calling, Spotify listening and Domino's pizza ordering to its growing list of functions available to Echo's voice-activated speakers and Alexa software. Users need only to ask Alexa to call an Uber or an UberX, which is one of the various levels of the Uber private car service, to get a ride. Users can specify their location in the Alexa app's settings, then enable Uber in Alexa's skills section and link to an Uber account. New Uber users can get $15 off their first ride by using the 15Alexa discount code.
