[ask] Purchase Sailfish X outside EU
asked 2018-06-03 12:51:49 +0200
Hi, I have been using Jolla 1 since 2015 and I think the hardware is dying now. I've decided I want to purchase Sailfish X, but I'm not from EU. Is it already possible to purchase Sailfish X?
Last time (few months ago) I tried to purchase, I cant proceed to payment page. But yesterday, I can proceed to form where I can input visa number and so on (I choose Finland as country).
I didn't continue from there because I need to confirm this to anyone who had same experience here.
And also, I don't know if it's a bug or not, I still had INDEPENDENCE voucher attached when I tried to purchase Sailfish X, as seen in screenshot below.
Is it safe to continue?
And I also read from latest update, Sailfish X is officially support Xperia X dual SIM. Sailfish 3.0, will support Xperia XA2.
Is Sailfish X a one-time purchase for all device or I must buy for each different device?
Thank you.
Note that the geographic lock-out is based on IP addresses.
At least initially, that detection - provided by Amazon - was buggy (I'm in Switzerland in the middle of the European continent, but was detected somewhere else).
Using a VPN, tor or a proxy server (i.e.: any techniques that makes you show up as a different IP) solves the problem and allows you to check out even if your original IP isn't recognized as in EU / CH / Norway.
So even if the payment fails with you original IP, you can still use this methods to proceed.
Turning a VPN on doesn't disturbs the webshop session (session relies on cookies, not on IP)
