I use Unotelly so that I can get Netflix on my computer and smart TV
My router is set up for this.
So when I am connected to my wifi network with my Android tablet (Experia Z2) I cannot access Netflix on it.
If I go to Netflix via my web browser (Firefox) and select a movie, I get a message that I must download the Netflix app. But the app isn't available in SA!

What do I do?
How can I change my country on Google Play Store to say USA or UK?

Thanks

Have you tried setting the Google Playstore to the US in Unotelly - then installing the app via your computer?

I think that will only work if you have a fresh Gmail account that is not tainted with traces of South Africa. Many accounts are linked to cell numbers, or have set "work" and "home" locations for Google Now / Maps, and are accessed through South African IP addresses. Once Google knows you're from South Africa, it's hard to change it.

It's always worked for me - mind you not from the tablet but from their play store via the pc.
 
Download expressvpn off the playstore. It's a 1 day trial, but I had a look, and it allowed me to change location. Went into the Netflix app, and I was in. Mind I still had to register for a free 1 month trial with Netflix.
