    • @Duc,
      Google Home calling supports Canada and US. Do you have multiple accounts with Google Home? Please ask Google Home to call somebody on your contact list to make sure Google is picking the right Google Account with your voice. If Google detects your voice and making calls from your right Google account, please go to that Google account and change settings to Call from Unlisted to Call from Google Voice Number.

  1. Ok. I have it to where I can call from the Google Home but when I call the Google Home from a different phone, I do not receive the call. What am I doing wrong?
