My disabled mother lives isolated in a care home and relied on her Google Home device to keep in contact with friends and family. She can no longer phone them because in December 2020 Google removed the ability to make phone calls to UK mobiles and telephone landlines using Google Home devices.

Google clearly have no consideration for existing users - let alone disabled users - of the features provided on their devices. Google should have considered who they would hurt by removing this function from Google Home devices.

Google seem unable to explain why they have done this - does anyone know why they did it?
