Yep, easy as peazy, works the same way as "Okay Google" on my Android
phones using the Google Now Launcher.
Unfortunately this functionality of the Amazon Echo won't be available
in Australia for a good while yet it seems.

Hi Gordon,
I allowed Alexa to access contacts in the Communications tab, and then I can just say,
"Alexa, send a message to Starman Jones." She'll ask what you want to say. You
say it, and she records it and sends it off.

I have sent voice messages to people, and that is pretty cool. I will have to
try the old time radio skill though. I love Fibber McGee and Molly.
