Important:If you use your Google Fi or Google Voice number to make calls on your Google Assistant-enabled devices, there’ll be no change in how phone calls work.
In December 2021, to make Google-supported phone calls from your speaker or Smart Display, you’ll need to:
- Set up Voice Match and turn on personal results for the Google Assistant-enabled devices you want to make calls from.
- Have or add the number you want to call to Google Contacts .
After this change, if you try to call a number that’s not saved in Google Contacts, you’ll get the option to add it. If you add the number, Google Assistant will make the call. If you don’t add it, Google Assistant will cancel the call.
How much calls cost
You can call most US and Canada numbers at no charge.
Step 2: Make a call
Say "Hey Google," then say a command:
- "Call [contact name]."
- "Call [business name]."
- "What is the nearest [business]?" then "Call them."
- "Call [phone number]."
On speakers, you can still ask Google Assistant for basic information like "What's the weather" or "How tall is Mt. Everest?" during a call.
On Smart Displays, you can only use Google Assistant for actions related to your call. For example, you can silence alarms.
Step 3: End a call
You can use voice commands, buttons, or gestures to end a call.
- Say "Hey Google, hang up."
- Tap End call.
