Hey people, does anyone know how I can sign up for netflix in the UK, I've got an old vanilla visa card lying around thats going to expire soon, it's got $30 left on it and I'm hoping to use that, but netflix wont let you use prepay cards, so I thought I'd link it to a PayPal acc, but that means signing up for a US acc, and I need an american phone number which I dont have.. So here I am, any suggestions?

While you two troll the forums...

I'm looking for actual advice anyone?

No trolling. I'm being serious.

If you want to use a service that's exclusive to the US and Canada, then move here.

Even if you do manage to get an account somehow, I can't imagine Netflix will like having their traffic go to the UK.

I've got access to a US VPN Server, so that won't be a problem, also I don't think that Netflix is worth moving to america for...

Netflix isn't available in the UK yet.

I know, I'm trying to get round that.

I'll let you know how as soon as I can watch Masterchef Australia (and NZ) here in the states. Same goes for some of the UK cooking shows.

I'm not sure tbh I think it expires at the end of the year it's old. Not sure it would get to you in time....
You could always just send me some money... use the $30 on the card for something else you would have used cash for.

Alternatively you could purchase a 'gift card' at amazon or new-egg and i can gift-card a netflix account back.
