If they opened this to other providers it would be a game changer, just using them for VoIP paging speakers would be pretty cool!<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Calling from Google smart devices has been in the US for a while (Google is a carrier there, so it was easy for them to setup), but in Australia it hasn't been available, until now. It's a pity that they've just gone with Telstra.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't agree with CRN's take that it will just be a fad, as is a great opportunity for families that need to support older people who may not be as mobile or don't know how to use a mobile phone. Cheap Google Home Mini's make a perfect speakerphone.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wonder if they'll open this up to other providers, or will enable users to configure their own VoIP settings?</div>
