Google Voice spent many years being neglected, but it is now getting heavy investment as part of Gsuite. This change to kill extension and SMS transcripts is actually part of moving to the next generation platform which has improved call quality and reliability. The features are quite niche and were likely deemed not worth keeping in the new version of the product.

There is no serious competitor to Google Voice, so please add it to your Gsuite contracts so that Google keeps it around.

The paid version of Google voice in Gsuite is now available in several countries.

No Canada though. Regardless of it being available in a handful of countries, "no serious competitor" is silly, non-Americans have had various options for comparable products for years.
