Hey there, this is stationary and does not follow you around. Place it where you want it and if you video chat the person on the other end only sees what is in the frame of the camera. As far as receiving phone calls from a cell phone, yes it can do both. The only number it can't dial is 911 PS didn't know that FB portal can follow you around. That's good to know. Be Blessed, Audrey
Great question! The echo show has video capabilities where the echo dots do not. It also allows you to watch programs, if maybe you have Netflix or want to watch a UA-cam video while cooking or learning something new, like one of my videos. 😉Once the show is set up you can easily tell it to call a loved one where you can video chat and see one another. The Echo shows also has better audio quality than the dots do. Do you only have a landline or a cell phone as well? I know I saw an echo connector amzn.to/2MinORD that will hook up to a landline but I have not done it yet so I wouldn't even know where to begin. :( It's more hands free to use the echo show but depending on your needs would determine if it really would be a benefit or just one more device. Is there something that you wish you could do with all the technology you already have but can't seem to do? Be Blessed, Audrey
Thank you for making these videos, i am looking forward to next in this series
Does this follow you when you move around while on a call like a facebook portal and can you make and recieve a call to/from a regular cell pone?

What are the main benefits/pluses of using an echo show? I have a laptop, iPad, 3 echo dots, and a landline cell phone-which is ok for me.
