This is exactly my problem now. I've moved to another country and now cannot buy any movies or TV shows on Play Store using the Google account I've had for 10 years.
Phoned and emailed Google support, but they just insist that I'm not allowed to change country. I've even tried using an HTTP proxy located in my old country with a credit card registered in my old country, but still Google blocks me.
If I knew about this restriction I would never have signed up for Google Wallet.
- CoolGuySteve 10y agoI had the same problem trying to buy XBox Live with my MSN/hotmail account 12 years ago. Seems like Google is becoming the new MS as far as their products go.
- kpil 10y agoWhat the actual! I must point out that I am an actual customer, that have paid actual money services delivered, not just a user and someone else's product. I must admit that I have never read more than some random bits of the terms and conditions, but moving does not strike me as an obvious justifiable reason for terminating the contract..
- MarkMc 10y agoThey haven't terminated my contact, I just get a payment error whenever I try to buy a movie or TV show. Curiously, there's no error when buying Android apps or extra Google Drive storage. Seems there's some extra restriction that Hollywood is placing on Google.
- MarkMc 10y agoI must point out that I too am an actual customer. In fact, I'm a customer in two ways: I paid Google thousands of dollars in commission on sales I made through Google Wallet; and I'm trying to pay money to watch TV and movies.
