Amazon Echo can send hands-free texts for AT&T subscribers

Say, you have your hands full and need to text someone ASAP -- if you're an AT&T subscriber with access to Amazon's speakers, you can now send messages completely hands free. Starting today, Amazon's Alexa-powered devices can compose messages for you and send them to a pre-programmed list of contacts. You only need to say "Alexa, ask AT&T to text name," and the assistant will prompt you to dictate your message. Company VP Jeff Bradley said AT&T "is the first carrier to bring this unique skill to a product already known for innovation." The feature does come with limitations, though.
