I have this speaker. Got it because it has a microphone and wanted to use it for when my wife calls me and I'm in the shower. Unfortunately the microphone is useless. Can't answer calls or place them. Decent sounding speaker but IMO overpriced considering the feature that sets it apart from similar speakers doesn't work.

I know right? I have a set M-F day shift schedule so I'm almost always in the shower at the same time every morning! Still the calls. 😆 Also wanted to be able to say, "Siri next song" but that doesn't work either.

My understanding is that this speaker has a button which can activate the voice assistant on your phone, so you could then ask it to make a phone call? At least it should work on an Android. I might image it works with Siri too.
