  • receiving, via a data network from an adapter coupled to a public switched telephone network (PSTN) via at least one port, first audio data, the first audio data received by the adapter from a telephone using the at least one port;

    identifying, using a user profile associated with the adapter, a phone number associated with the recipient profile;

    sending, via the data network, the phone number to the adapter;

    sending, to the adapter via the data network, a first instruction to initiate the telephone call over the PSTN, the first instruction causing the adapter to dial the phone number;

    receiving, via the data network from a speech-controlled device associated with the user profile, a second command to join the telephone call, wherein the speech-controlled device is different from the telephone; and

    sending, to the adapter via the data network, a second instruction to establish a communication session between the speech-controlled device and the at least one port.
