    Got one of these babies for Christmas.Nice little bit of Technology but when I try to use it to make a phone call it says "Sorry I can't make phone calls yet"
    I did a bit of digging and seems this function is only available in the U.S, Canada and UK
    Wondering if this is correct and will this function ever be available in Ireland?
    I'm a 3 Ireland customer using a Nokia 6 2017 smartphone

    Correct as it works independent of your phone. In the US it uses Google Voice / Fi. I'm not sure it's a feature that will reach us anytime soon.

    Thanks for the information. Slightly disappointed as it would have been a handy feature to have

    You could have google assistant on the mobile and let it write msg whatapp dial from there.

    Not maybe a fix on the google home itself. I think theres an app IFTTT from the play store haven't done a lot with it....in time we can hope Google will let you program sequences.
