The phone tree stuff on Pixel is decent but nowhere near 100% reliable or robust.

If it hears and understands an automated system speaking out a phone tree, it will start to list the options and you can tap on them. Usually works but often doesn't recognize that a phone tree is happening. Other times it recognizes the phone tree, but mistranscribes the options.

As a non-deaf person, it's a handy UX improvement. But I wouldn't recommend that anyone rely on it.

These services are indeed great for those that need them. I received one or two years ago when I worked at a computer shop. Unfortunately they were always scammers, abusing the system.
Yea, FCC needs to do something about the scammers. They're causing a lot of shops to not accept relay calls because of this.
