My work Pixel is supposed to have this capability but it doesn’t always work.
Not all plans / providers offer WiFi calling, or at least the ability to block international calling / roaming calling capabilities on the providers side.
(With just WiFi calling too, you may not have a data connection for whatever reason.)

So when a call comes in on the ‘home’ line, some people will just pick up…

Trust me, I’ve seen my dad rack up $30 calls of <10mins more than a few times; his roaming fees in a few months have been higher than than the base plan itself. The mobile provider knows what they are doing…
