Devices that may receive this beta will be the Pixel 6 and above, within the United States.

The current call screen script is way too wordy, hopefully this one doesn't make people instantly hang up
Mentioning "a service by Google" makes it sound like an ad.
I changed the voice on my P7P to a male voice. People stay on the line longer until it gets too the end, then they hang up.
Agreed. I get why they say it but most people ain't sitting through that
