   OP here ...   
      
   Phone is Samsung Galaxy A16 5G model SM--A166B/DS   
   UI = 8.0   
   Android = 16   
   Notifications = Alexa all   
   Bluetooth was off, now ON   
   Paired with Echo Dot-BT4   
      
   "Alexa, call Graham" - continues to work as expected.   
   "Alexa, hang up" - terminates the call as expected.   
      
   I ring her phone, it shows an incoming call, a tinted blue screen with a   
   green button to accept, red to cancel.   
      
   "Alexa, answer the phone."   
   The response from Alexa is still: "There is no incoming call."   
      
   The user is virtually paralysed (probably carpal tunnel syndrome in both   
   wrists) so tapping a button on the phone is basically impossible.   
      
   Ideas?
