dismithjr Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Somehow my Google Play account has had the country changed to Sir Lanka I have never been there nor do I want to go there. It was changed sometime in April 2020. According to Google rules it can only be changed once a year. There for I will not be able to change for a year. I have tried all of the change the account settings as instructed by Google and it will not let me change. Because I had my PC synchronized with my phone and tablet they all have me in Sir Lanka, good old Google. There are many apps that I can’t down load because they are not allowed in Sir Lanka like WalMart and many others. If anyone knows how to change it back to USA, PLEASE HELP. I have tried all the recommendations that Google and Youtube recommends VPN, change pay account and the works. Thanks Dan Link to post Share on other sites
nigsy Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Sorry; Google rules......you can only change once per year. The only way around it is to create a 2nd account and switch between the 2. Using a VPN won't work as it's the payment method that the country is registered against and not your physical IP. Silly rule really. Link to post Share on other sites
