I am thinking about buying a Google Home in the US and taking it to HK for my parents to listen to Google Play Music radio. I want to avoid paying for a subscription service, so Amazon Echo doesn't appear to be an option. I read that Google Play Music on Android phones will work in HK as long as the phone was connected in the US at least once. Using Google Home, has anyone had success getting Google Play Music radio to work in HK?
Anyone have any comments on using a UK purchased Google Home in HK?
It's on sale for £79 in the UK at present.
"Originally £129, now £79 each. Offer valid starting 15 November 2017
12am PT through 29 November 2017 11:59pm PT while supplies last. Offer
is non-transferable and not valid for cash or cash equivalent. Void
where prohibited. Unless otherwise stated, this offer cannot be
combined with other offers."
I have one echo one dot in my apartment, there is no problem using it. The only thing is the default location can’t be changed to Hongkong, so we have to ask “Alexa, what is the weather today in HongKong?” Instead of “what’s the weather today?” All music playing and questions answering are fine. I bought a few dots as gift. They are so cheap, about $40usd each? A lot of fun for kids and useful for checking things like weather, time, calendar..
Awesome! With your free Spotify account, do you use as English or Cantonese to ask for a particular artist?
Nevertheless, I ended up buying 2 Google Homes and 3 Google Minis in the Google Store UK black Friday sale; delivered in the UK; taken back to HK and very pleased with them.
Multi room audio works very nicely.
As well as listening to the usual array of UK radio stations whilst in HK (the only confusing part being time, traffic and weather reports (e.g. morning UK radio in an HK afternoon; or listening to traffic reports on the "North Circular and A40 West way in London" - and then remembering - "why should I care" etc.)
