Cannot send messages to AU sales site.

[DrJack54]

Hello, So more curious than anything regarding my "issue".

 

There is a site in Au called "marketplace". It a site that has items for sale. It is a Facebook page.

It uses Facebook messenger. 

You can contact the seller via sending a message however it blocks any messages sent from my phone in Thailand to those sellers. 

Is there a simple way around this.

Thanks for any advice.

Probably one of the free VPNs that come out in Oz would do the trick to make the system think you're in Oztrailia.

 

I use Ivacy but it's not free, but if you are going to need it a lot it's dirt cheap.

Your dealing with a IT dummy here so keep that in mind.

Is there an App that would do that. I mean provide a VPN.

While your here....what's "incognito mode" mean.

Is that just for laptops.

Just had a squiz in playstore.

Do any of those apps fit the bill or something completely different

Ivacy have an app that will do the trick, but like I said it's not free.

 

Google "free VPN for {whatever your mobile OS is}"

 

"Incogneto" is supposed to mask your identity, whether it is effective or not I have no idea.

As you can see above in my screenshot, I downloaded first on the list. 

Selected Australia (there was list of countries).

Then opened "marketplace Facebook" site and was able to send message to seller, which was not previously possible.

Thank you.

Edit: and just now received reply from seller so it's a 2 way street. Success.

If it works for you then great.

 

I wouldn't rely on a free VPN for anything vital like banking details, but just sending FB messages and you're gold.
