If you use Google Fi, you just view the voice transcript and then call back.

Oh I wish. I’m in Optimum (Former Suddenlink) territory.
It’s only in the past year I was able to upgrade from 300mbps to gigabit, and it ain’t fiber. Also obvious that the local techs have no clue what they’re doing since the link goes down several times a night briefly, always at exactly 15 minutes after the hour. It’s obvious there’s a switch or something that they’re just rebooting every night.

Google Fi != Google Fiber
One is a cell phone plan, one is an ISP.

Yeah, I have it on an iphone even though I'd prefer not to, but I haven't found a competitor worth switching to.

How does that work? I thought there was no way to override the default dialer? Or is it just an app running over data?

Google Fi is an MVNO. They give you a sim, service is provided via T-Mobile mostly. (It used to have Android required special roaming on Sprint, but T-Mobile absorbed Sprint, so that's moot)
