Amazon instant movies: Overcoming the Geographical restrictions

You could be a valid Amazon US customer and probably a US resident who might just be taking a 2 week vacation in a far away African country like Nigeria but after travelling to West Africa with your Kindle, you notice that you can no longer purchase the latest instant movies on Amazon due to their geographical restrictions. What do you to do overcome this problem? The logical way to do this is to use a US IP address and also make use of a US credit card.

I've had the same problem too after using my Kindle for a while and later found out that I could not also purchase instant movies in countries where Amazon digital content is not supported due to one's location. How was I able to solve it?

Someone trying to purchase instant movies or some other digital content from Amazon might get restricted when Amazon find out that the Kindle is visiting from a Non Supported geographical location.

When a Kindle tablet's IP is restricted from accessing a US only content, it normally gets an error relating to its current location in a message that reads as follows; "we could not process your order because of geographical restrictions on the product which you were attempting to purchase".

Once you hear that words "geographical restrictions", it means that your Kindle has been restricted as a result of it's IP and Credit card location. You can solve that issue by simply changing your IP address and also ensuring that you have a US credit card on file.

You can change your IP address to a US IP address by getting and making use of a US VPN service.

Just subscribe to a VPN service, get the settings that would change your IP to a US location and you can then start using your Kindle to access Amazon's digital content.

You could first of all change your IP address on your computer or laptop and then purchase digital content using that computer. Afterwards, you can always download that content on your Kindle irrespective of your IP address.

Ensure you also have a US credit card on file. You can get some of those Prepaid Virtual credit cards and complement them with Amazon gift cards too in case the balance on your card goes low. As long as you credit card is active on your AMazon account, even when you no longer have sufficient balance, the gift card balance would be used.

Get a VPN service and change your IP

So, as long as you have a US credit card on file and are using a US ip address, you can always get digital content such as Instant movies from the US Amazon store even if you are outside the USA.
