You're able to send voice messages to other people that have an Alexa. Basically like voicemail.

That means that, unlike butt-dialing, you're more likely to accidentally send a message to someone you're actually talking about since the person's name is part of the command. Yikes!

Is this something you have to actively set up or does it come enabled by default?
