Things to know about Google Duo

• You can use Google Duo with your cell phone data or on a strong wifi connection.
• The quality of the calls is as good as your connection. If your wifi stinks, you’re not going to have good call quality.
• The call quality is not determined by NumberBarn or NumberGarage as calls are not actually routing through our server.
• Not all NumberBarn or NumberGarage US and Canadian local numbers will work on Google Duo. You’ll need to test out your number first. If it is not supported, contact our customer support above to see how we can help.
