Telephone
You can listen at any time by calling our listening line on 01227 314 650. It will cost only the same as a local call and once you’re connected you can listen to our latest edition.
If you’d like to have more control then press 0 during playback for instructions on how to skip forwards and back, play and pause and so on. The system will remember which story you were listening, so if you have to hang up and call back you won’t start back at the beginning. This bookmark will only last until our next edition goes live though.
Amazon Alexa
To setup Alexa to play our service, say:
Alexa, enable skill Talking Newspapers
Once you’ve done that once, you can listen whenever you like by saying:
Alexa, ask Talking Newspapers to play Whitstable Echo
