Does anyone use Google Duo VoIP?

I've been playing with my Google home and it's interesting how easy it is to make a phone call from them using Google duo, free high quality VoIP.

Does anyone use the service and if so for what?

You can link your real-world cell phone number with this service and then people can find you directly that way exactly like WhatsApp. You can also make phone calls from one Google home(Or any device with the Duo app) to another almost like a walkie-talkie, it has interesting possibilities.

I use it regularly for calling family & friends. Started giving Google Home Mini's as gifts a while back. Audio quality has always been great so far.

Setup for the mother in law a while back so she can call peeps in the UK.

Anyone tried using the broadcast or chat feature between Google homes in a single location, you can speak to all the homes from one device in a location or just a single device?

Seems like a really handy feature, possibly even useful in business, quickly dial another location to get info or discuss something

Seems similar, just really nice how easily Duo integrates with hardware like the Google Home and how you can make a call solely using your voice, from initiation through to ending the call.

I dont know if it is just me, but Google Duo calls have improved a sh*t load of late for me. Been using it more and more. Compared to my last few WhatsApp calls I would get before I deactivated my WhatsApp account a month ago, fck Duo quality beats the hell out of WhatsApp.

Do you use via the phone app or a via Google home?
Do you have a fair amount of people you know who use it, so it's actually a possibility to phone people with it on a regular basis?

I use it on my phone via Vodacom Mobile LTE. I use it mainly for my sister and my mom, but I have a lot of contacts that also has Duo according to the app.
