[NJTechDiv] calling someone's echo.

For some routines, if you add the word "skill" to the command, it will
execute.

Hi list I'm sure you all heard on the presidential release about the
troubles people all have with alexa plus.  Unfortunately amazon has shoved
this down our throats and at least on the Iphone app you ca't exit preview I
ignored it when it asked me to try it I assumed it was a pay thing.  We all
got it whether we wanted it or not.  If I get my echo a replacement cord I'm
going to thing twice about asking it to update.  My problem is that if I
call my friend denise apparently the alexa plus is defaulted to the iphone.
Even if you say call the echo.  Does anyone know what the new command is or
where in settings I can correct this?  As stupid as alexa can be with knight
manager, I'm not so sure alexa plus is much of an improvement.  I'm not the
only one complaining either.  Knight manager players have been beefing about
it using the Iphone app.  Any suggestions.
