O2 UK App won't load, Android: "not available in your country"

[StingWest]

Hello - I'm based in the USA and travel to London constantly for work.  My Android mobile is the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, international unlocked version, purchased directly from Samsung.  It has no carrier locks.

I'm in the UK, and have an O2 SIM card installed and on a pay-as-you-go plan.  When I go to the Google Play Store, and try to download the UK O2 app I get "not available in your country".  Is there a direct link to download this app?  Somehow the play store thinks I'm still in the US.

Thanks!

You need to change the country in your phone settings.

Thanks!  Only problem is that the Play Store will only allow a country to be changed once a year, so I really can't do that as I'm mainly in the US!

Not the ideal solution, but you could download the .apk and sideload it.
