Entropay Us-Cc

Hello @ all!

I registered at Entropay and did choose US as my residence to get an US-Credit-Card. I live in germany. Now they want me to send documents to verify my account. Will i nevertheless get an US-CC or what will happen? Thanks!

I messed up my Play store for my main account (changed address on credit card to it's original country from the country of the market i wanted) so I contacted the G!

From Google :

Thanks for contacting us about country support for Google Play. We use the billing address of your default payment instrument in Google Wallet to help determine your home country for accessing the Play Store. Our collection of content can vary by country, so your view of the Play Store may differ from what others are seeing when you travel outside of the country listed on your default payment method's billing address.

Please note that you must have a valid payment method with a billing address located inside a country in order to access that country's Play Store.

If you're having issues viewing your intended country's Play Store and would like to change your default payment method or update an existing billing address in Google Wallet, please use the following steps:

1) Sign into your Google Wallet account to manage your payment methods (https://wallet.google.com/manage/paymentMethods)

2) Add a new card or change your default payment instrument to one with a billing address located inside your desired country

3) Open the Play Store and navigate to any item available for download

4) Click to begin a download until you reach the "Accept and buy" screen (no need to complete the purchase)

5) Close the Play Store and clear data for the Google Play Store application (Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Clear Data) or clear your browser cache

6) Re-open the Play Store. You should now see the Play Store that matches your default payment instrument's billing country.

If you haven't yet added a payment method to your account for the first time, please add a card directly from the Play Store with a billing address that matches your intended country location. Then, follow steps 3 through 6 to show your intended country's Play Store.

If you believe that you're experiencing a different location-related issue, please first verify if the country of your primary payment method matches your intended country. If the countries match, please provide any screenshots and additional details that might help me resolve your issue.

We appreciate your feedback as we continue bringing more content to Google Play. Thank you for reaching out!

This worked for me, however on my second device I had to wipe Play store data/cache then re-accept T&C's

Now my secondary accounts only one of which has a payment method actually change country every time I change my VPN destination country which is quite handy !

Can you buy movies also? If i try to buy a movie i'm getting the error-message [bm-pp-19]

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Ok. I managed to buy the magazine "Total Film" so this means that i can use the us-store, BUT: the movie-proplem is still there. Now if i click on buy movie, the message "payment declined" appears (same Credit Card which i bought the magazine).

So what guys ,,,just make a new google account in italy that's it...

I think u should allow google to detect ur location, u may hv disabled it therefore google is still thinking ur in U.S
[General Questions and Answers] teaza:
An italian account is no option to me. I want to see the movies in english.

But here is how to manage a working us-google-play-account:

1. Create a google-account via US-ip (vpn)

2. Create an entropay-account and get your virtual Credit Card

3. Buy movies

I think that in my case, the problem was, that google did not accept my german Credit Cards. The only Card that worked was the Entropay-Card.

Today my store updated to the latest version (new sync stuff in google)

My UK store is now back to my country store (only apps available) :(

Weirdly enough the website is still under UK, so the Music/Magazines/Movies are available but only from play.google.com

anyone experience this issue? any workaround?

It just happened to me...

For the past 2 months I managed to revert my Play Store to US.

But today after many updates from play store, it locked me again to brazil.

I tried all the tricks again, but nothing seems to work.

Did all the support from Play Store posted a few posts above also. Nothing.

And I have a american address, american IP and american credit card.

Weird.

[General Questions and Answers] jp.esteban:
So what's a step-by-step surefire way of getting US play store access? I've been trying to use some of the information from earlier in the thread: the only credit card in my Google wallet is an American one with a US address, I'm using tunnelbear VPN to get a US IP, and I've tried again and again making purchases/canceling at the last option, waiting for hours, and clearing play store data.

Nothing worked. I can at least view the play store in the browser as a US account, but it says my device is incompatible when I try to install region locked apps like Spotify and Google Books.

What am I missing?

Stop wiping data from the Play Store, it will come eventually, it took as long as 36 hours once for me. I actually went through with a purchase in the end.

cancelled

I can access google play US store now with my other account. but i cannot purchase using my debit card. It kept getting cancelled on the last second. I know it has balance available in it. i kept on trying and now it displays that 'this payment method has been declined' . i dont have other cards and i dont know how to activate the entropay credit as my debit doesnt send me monthly paper bills and i dont know where to look for the charges that gets billed on my card . ive read that some people where able to purchase again after 24 hours. but they complained to google first. i cant complain since my access to Play is not legit.
[General Questions and Answers] naskox:
Write to them, I had the same problem and they fixed my account without asking question, but I had to explain a little bit and even tell some lies, but everything went OK, and back to my apps only play store which I wanted. Now I only want to upload some books, but now it is too late for my account...
[General Questions and Answers] defsix:
I think from now on this Play store switching isn't going to work. All Incandescent recommend is get the play store from the country you are going to use the most be it your home country or the US and stick with it. And if you don't choose the US you'll just have to wait for the services to come to your country. That's what I've done, it ain't worth the hassle sometimes :D

I sort of fixed my problem with making new account only for uploading books...I can't seem to find anywhere intel about where Google is about stretching its coverage of Google Play, because I suppose they are nto doing anything about it.

[General Questions and Answers] society mike:
I've had the same problem since I moved back to the US.

I'm now in USA, on an HTC One from AT&T, using their sim, etc.

But.... rooted

I previously lived in Japan, for 13yrs, with many Android devices acquired there.

My Play store still shows Japan version.

After many calls to Google Play support, we came to the conclusion that I would have to reset my devices. (more later)

According to Google support, SIM based devices use the carriers signal ip to determine location for Play. However, since my One is rooted, they said it won't properly report to the Play store to send location.

I reset/flashed all my other devices, then revisited Google dashboard.

Funny thing, only a couple show in my Play store now.

Support said it could take about a week for my Play store to show up as US after resetting everything.

So about a week and a half later, my HTC One suddenly asked me to agree to terms when opening Play store... Boom! USA Play store showed up! Great!

Now, another week later... It's all reverted back to Japanese Play store.. Wtf.

Funny thing, I can still get to Google Music on pc but not search/buy anymore.

I will unroot my One for a week and see if the USA store comes back.
[General Questions and Answers] Specialosio:
So, something similar, but I find (?) a solution?

I'm Italian, I opened my account in Italy many years ago, then I moved one year to Vietnam, then one year to New Zealanad.

Never problem until now that I moved to Australia.

I update my google wallet with the new address some days ago, and my address in my google (not google+)

Nothing.

Today when I log in from pc, they ask me to accept new market condition.

Nothing

I add the new Australian Credit card

Nothing

I try to buy an app

Nothing.

Basically I try all I found online, but nothing, my market still were New Zealand's one..

So I was trying to buy (not really, but following the step) a nexus 4, but I still received the error message, my country wasn't support for that

The website was

https://play.google.com/store/devices?&hl=en

So I just (I don't even know why) change the last 2 letters

from

https://play.google.com/store/devices?&hl=en

to

https://play.google.com/store/devices?&hl=it

and boooom

everything work now, Australian playstore... I can buy movie, book, nexus... unbelievable...
[General Questions and Answers] yamatona:
So I believe Google decides where you are by

Sim card provider

Android ID

Ip address

GPS location

Cell tower location

Credit Card location (Bank?)

Phone number

Phone language setting?

Probably there are so many other parameters I would imagine.

Then gives certain weights to each of the above. If something changes the secret algorithm calculates your location again.

I've tried everything in this thread except creating another gmail address using VPN, and adding that. Nothing worked.

I have fake gps location, ip in target country using openvpn, my account with all target market addresses. Still nothing.

I'm sure if I changed my android ID, removed SIM card, used new gmail account, used vpn and a fresh install of my phone I would be able to download apps from target market.
[General Questions and Answers] Specialosio:
I'm not sure about that, because with me I have a tablet as well with my old italian sim card, and Italian phone language..

I always had that one with me, even if, to be honest, is my secondo phone and basically I never use that..

Could be that they don't care about the second phone, same as the km walked counting system... (they count the one that you use more)

I have the Note 2.

I have my email linked to an American credit card.

I can buy from the US/UK/local Cambodian market here.

All I do is this....

1) start TunnelBear

2) force close market (don't have to clear cache/data at all)

3) open the market again and reselect my same Google account

4) it pops up a confirmation box and I accept

5)I will stay in that market for a long time, even if I immediately shut down TunnelBear

Easy as that (for me)
[General Questions and Answers] omegagt:
It appears that the problem is related with some devices like the Galaxy Nexus, in your case maybe it's helping you to have the Note 2
[General Questions and Answers] WoozyBE:
It used to be that easy for me too. Until my wallet account was suddenly suspended for about 3 weeks. Now I'm stuck on my local play store.
[General Questions and Answers] redisdead:
Same problem here. Moves from UK to France, can't access apps only available in the French market.

It seems that now your market is linked to the country specified in Google wallet. Unfortunately I can't change it because I can't delete the remaining 0.04£ of the coupon I had when I bought the Nexus 7 in the UK. No app/music/book costing so low, and Google support won't delete this ridiculous amount of money.

Browsing from a new Google account is a workaround, but I would have preferred not to be forced doing this.

Damn you Google changing your conditions like this.

Sorry. Can anyone explain to me what I'm missing by not being able to access the US Play store? I've been in Japan for several years now, so I've only always known the Japanese Play store/market.
[General Questions and Answers] society mike:
I lived in Japan 13yrs and recently moved to USA bit mine still only shows Japanese Play store. Google told me my devices I brought with me from Japan have to be reset to factory settings, all of them. Then reconnect to Play in the USA and it will work.

This was true, it worked for a week. But my new phone I got here in USA is rooted so the Play store cannot verify that its on AT&T, so my Play store reverted back to Japanese version.

Google said for phones, it checks the carrier network location first, then the geo-location, then the Google wallet information. All mine is from usa.

They said it would work for me if I unroot and re-connect to Play. I just don't feel like unrooting my phone since it requires flashing stock rom back again.

I'm waiting for the Nexus Android rom for HTC One to be released and I will do it.

What I did!!

First, sorry my bad English.

I'm in Brazil, and I would to download one app from UK.

How I got it!

1) Create a VPN Connection on PC (Windows 7).

2) Enter Google.co.uk , create an GMAIL with UK data (like address), but use my PHONE NUMBER from brazil (verification).

3) Install TunnelBear on my phone/tablet, and create a VPN for UK.

4) Clean App cache of GOOGLE PLAY

5) Join Google Play and add Other account (my new UK Gmail)

6) Go to Google.com on my phone, search for the app that i wanna download, and click. So, the phone will ask for what app i wanna use to open the link. Choose MARKET, when opens, chance account to your new account. And, Works!! Just Download!

I hope that it can works with other country's.

[LG Nitro HD] grayplus:
Hi everyone!

Just received LG Nitro HD which was bought on ebay.com (USA). As I live in Europe I can't use AT&T so I had to buy the unlock code and I did so. When I received the codes (NCK, NSCK, SPCK, CPCK, SIMCK) the Life:)'s SIM was already in and I was doing some setup (can't remember exactly what, but not in wireless networks). So I decided do not reboot the phone and use 2945#*930#.

When I entered the code I get in the unlock menu. I pressed Network lock and the new menu popupd. I've entered the NCK and phone says that the Unlock was successful. Than I tried to press other menu items such as SIM unlock, Corporate unlock,... but without any effect.

After that I decided to continue my "exercises" and went to main screen and I didn't saw the network connection.

Than I've tried manual search, automatic search, other SIMs (from other carriers) - the only network which the phone can connect is life:) but connection loses in a few seconds. BT and WiFi works perfect.

I've tried to flash 10i.kdz, 10c.kdz, 10f.kdz, 18f.exe, 20c.kdz - only 10s and 18f.exe can start, others stuck on bootscreen.

Please help me how to connect the phone to other networks and make signal straight!!!
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
have you entered your apn settings for your carrier?
[LG Nitro HD] grayplus:
No, but they are received automatically somehow (maybe they are flashed at SIM?) for all networks I've tried. And they are correct - I've checked it on operator's sites.
[LG Nitro HD] el_venga:
Insert any sim and do a manual search. How many networks you see?

Also verify wether it is on 3G only or anything other than automatic cause in some devices it sticks even after full flashing. If that fails, best case scenario, antenna problem.
[LG Nitro HD] grayplus:
With any SIM or without any SIM, with manual or automatic search, with "2G only" set or not set it could see only the network named "life:)"

So I decided (the day before yesterday) to disassemble it and see what is happened inside. And I saw that some wire was not plugged but only putted on the board. I plugged it and powered on the phone - and IT HAPPENED!!! All the networks where found!!! So I've assembled it back and the problem was resolved. Sorry, I was so happy and didn't wrote about it.

The problem is decided, case is closed. Thanks for everyone for help.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
rofl, yeah plugging your antenae in is kind of important
