Hi

Just a few quick questins

I've been following a guide (rubarb) but still need a little help

1st do i really need a CC to register with netfilx ? is there no way around this ?

2nd if i want to use netflix on my android phone what settings must i change to be able to log on to netflix ? it says not available in your country ... on my pc i used that browser plug in that changes my location to usa but it doesnt seem to work on my phone.

3rd - if i decided the browser plug in isnt for me and go for a paid solution that requires me to change some DNS settings - is there an easy to use guide on how i can do this ? i have no idea what DNS is let alone where to change it.

thanks guys
 
I'm not familiar with the Rhubarb guide - but I am going to asume they explained you need to be able to Mask that you are in South africa - we Mostly use Unotelly

Credit card is easy your other options are Paypal (but must be a US Paypal Account) Or Entropay (apparently fees are a killer here) - i haven tried this myself
I could not sign on with my Cheque card but some people have had success.

You wont be able to get the Netflix APK from Google play, you need to get from elsewhere (scour the forums i recall someone posting it here) if you using unotelly there is a way to get the phone to go to US google play store

DNS - If you using Unotelly I recommend setting the DNS on your Router it just so much easier.


What ISP are you using and i really hope you have uncapped ADSL.

I recommend reading this guide:

1) Of course you need a credit card, how else are you going to pay for it?

2) You need to change the country of your Google Play account before you can download the Netflix app for Android. This is quite complicated to do, but there are plenty of guides on the internet.

3) Unotelly has got all the instructions on their website on how to use their product.
 
If you check the Netflix link in my sig you can find the download link for the Netflix app.

There is an easy way to get region restricted apps from the play store directly (sometimes they even auto-update actually) but this requires that your unotelly be setup and ready. Once you got all the UT bits sorted just go to the play store on your computer using a different browser other than the one logged into your Google account (make sure you disable all the plugins hola etc) and then just search for the restricted app--> click install --> sign into your acc ---> select device---> sorted . No need to clear cache or change your google account location etc . Trick is just to use any browser you're not logged into Google-wise
 
I use my Standard Bank Cheque card, I have a normal student account, just asked them for a cheque card, they gave it to me free of charge and it works perfectly on Netflix, Hulu, PayPal, takelot and the like.

I use Unodns to change the region. It's free for the duration of the world cup!
