Has this with many apps, but the one that really stung was trying to access the Covid vax app. Had that notification, called 111 and they said download it in B&Q! Blame google. Nothing at all to do with the telecoms providers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option is to use a UK sim with data roaming in IOM. As far as i know it defaults to a UK IP address and the Google play store is happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asthehills Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I am Unsure why people think telecom can do anything about a restriction within Google’s own systems. I know for a fact they are regularly trying to get it sorted and have been for a decade. There is nothing the local telcos can do. It’s out of their hands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is yet another example of our economy being a Ponzi scheme fed with an overpayment of VAT under the current VAT sharing deal. When Labour get elected in 2024 we are seriously screwed. See the previous time they cut the free VAT money. The island's economy does not work without the VAT deal and when you look at that deal we are getting, it is a VERY GOOD deal, FOR US..... It suits a Conservative gov to have us like this. it's a place to park money from the City for their "donors". Labour dont see it that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not just paid for apps, as I said it even affected the Covid vax app. You would think Google would be receptive and there must be someone Goigle who can take this forward, it is just a case of finding them. After over 9 years there is no headway? Does this issue affect Sure as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to use my deposit account, but can't get a text with code to either of my manx mobiles, I have contacted NS & I about the issue. I have and it’s fine. The Boots app on the other hand…doesn’t work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a good thing when it comes to kids though, it cuts down on the chances of them costing you money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was owned by cable and wireless but I think they sold it to Bahrain. Dunno, probably should seeing as i'm their customer. Pretty hard to live a truly moral life these days, your money always ends up in the pockets of bastards somehow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most smaller jurisdictions route their traffic through a larger jurisdiction nearby to get around this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
