The next time you want to use the amazon echo as your smartphone's speaker, all you have to do is make sure that Bluetooth is active on your phone and say “Alexa, connect Bluetooth”. This will cause the Echo to connect to the phone, as it is a previously paired device. Alexa will beep and say “Now connected to [Device Name]”.
