Can you use google nest home max without a cellular phone plan and make video calls with duo

RandyR — Mon, 23 May 2022 17:26:51 GMT

I want to buy one for my mother who is in a retirement home. She does not have a cell phone and I would like to associate her land line number with duo so that I and other people can video call her. Can this be done?

No, unfortunately. To setup Google Duo you need a phone number and access to a mobile phone that can receive SMS messages.

Hey RandyR,

Thanks for reaching out.

Google Duo is available to anyone at no charge however, before you set up and use Google Duo you need a phone number and access to a phone that can receive SMS messages just like davidking mentioned. Appreciate your assistance as well @David_K.

Once you successfully set up a Duo account, you can now make and receive calls with other Duo users on their Google Nest or Google Home speakers or displays.

Thanks,

Alex
