I am based in the UK. I am hoping to get an Echo soon. Can I set it up using my Amazon.co.uk account. Or do I have to get / create an Amazon.com account.

Best wishes.

if you create an amazon .com account and have a uk prime account

when you try to play prime music it asks you to fix account ... hit fix button and fill any USA address

it will then say music moved to US account

Echo will then work with prime worked with my echo

Hi Celticfan,
I thought I was pretty smart, but I can't for the life of me work out how to make that mod to get the right time zone.  I read the linked instructions a dozen times but just don't understand. Any chance you could give me a better understanding? Thanks in advance.

I now have an echo and a dot in the UK

The time hack works the same on the dot.
No luck with location services yet

I have been interested in the echo for ages, but have always assumed it would come to the UK sooner rather than later and have given up waiting.

Any recommendations on where to get one. eBay around £220, have looked at an buy and ship company which is around £180 + import taxes. Got a friend going to states in June but don't want to wait.

Any recommendations or a long shot does anyone have one to sell?
