Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #959
Hey there, Teri here with your flash briefing and today is Sunday, which means that we are going to answer a question from the community.
This one comes out of our Facebook group and it is from Paul Trachsler, I hope I said that, right, Paul.
By the way, if anyone else would like to join our community on Facebook, just go to AlexainCanada.ca/Community.
Paul, that’s a very common question and he says, “What are the advantages of registering your device to an American account as more features are coming to Canada”.
Well this generated a lot of discussion, this is always a hot topic of discussion among us Canadians.
Janet McKay Thompson who’s been a member of our group for a long time, she says that she’s been registered to an American account since day one, that Alexa arrived in Canada.
And she does not regret that for one minute, because she has all the features, upgrades and updates that come out in the States usually before they come out in Canada.
Canadians are doing this to take advantage of the features that are in the States
She mentioned that there are certain things that you can’t do and she can’t order with Alexa and certain games don’t work properly.
And also location services wouldn’t work properly if you want, you know, localized weather and that sort of stuff, because if you’re registered under a US account and you’re going to be using a US address.
Nevertheless, if you want to have a lot of the features, then that would be the way to go.
Now, if you are wanting to make that change and you’re not sure how to do it, you can always go to the FAQ section on the AlexainCanada.ca website under resources, you’ll see FAQ and you can look for the question specifically that says, how do you change your account from Amazon.ca to Amazon.com and that will tell you exactly how to do it, okay?
So I hope that is helpful for you, I know this is a hot topic of discussion, a lot of Canadians are doing this to take advantage of the features that are in the States and eventually the features usually come to Canada, but it can certainly take some time.
So there you go, hope that answers your question and all the best everybody talk to you again tomorrow.
