Not yet, but this will likely come when the latest Google assistant firmware is pushed out. Mine has already received some updates, but no calling yet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Looks like Best Buy is laughing all the way to the bank on this one. No updates in a year and leagues behind in features. I'm betting these will be discontinued and V2 will be released with the full feature set. Of course V2 will look exactly like these and cost $15 more.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I am able to make calls. The person you are calling see "restricted caller" or "Unknown Caller" and it assigns the call to a google voice number to make the call. If you have Google's cell phone provider, "Google Project Fi" then you can call and people receiving the call will see you name and number, since it is in sync with your account already. You can use the IFTTT app and set it to say, "Call [Insert Name Here]" and it will call that person. Or you can also say, "Text [Insert Name Here], Blah blah blah" and it will text that person the words you said. Set up that in the IFTTT app, and it will know who you are talking about, when you say that name, and associates a phone number with it. Here is a link to that applet in IFTTT to allow you to text someone. https://ifttt.com/applets/fNdGJfwy-send-a-text-message-to-someone-with-your-android-and-google-home Google's call someone: https://support.google.com/googlehome/answer/7363847?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&hl=en
