Update your Alexa app, the. Enable drop in
Drop in is now a built in intercom between Alexa enabled devices.
Then say “Alexa, drop in on kitchen, bedroom, etc __”
(make sure to have named all of your devices).
To disconnect: "Alexa, cancel"
Works nicely.

I’m surprised I didn’t find anything going about this in the forum.
My echos and dots started working with the drop in feature for device to device last night.
Simply name your devices what you want… ie "kitchen"
And then just say, Alexa, drop in on the kitchen.
Two voice communication from one device to another.
You can call a single device as well.
I couldn’t get it to send a message to a single device yet, but so far I’m really liking the new features!

Can’t seem tp get mine to work. Drop in is enabled on all my echos. I say drop in on living room from my kitchen, but nothing is heard on the living room unit. Any thoughts?

Looks like it’s US only so far…
It worked for me (in the US). Be sure to update your Alexa app and launch it so it will prompt you to enable drop in for devices.
