Google cloud platform problem

Question

It's a sequel to my NLP chatbot answering machine application.

Now this sucks, big time!

At first, I have been working in Google cloud platform, instructed by Dialogflow.

I've just learned that Dialogflow's material is only available in the US and for Google hosted VoIP numbers.
And I live in Finland, not in the US. And Google doesn't offer the Google Voice application in Finland.

This seems like an obstacle far greater than I expected.

Answer 1

I understand your pain, unfortunately not all countries are treated equal by the tech giants :(
I don't know the precise solution but maybe you can try using a web proxy or VPN provider that can mask your IP address and "pretend" that you are actually in the US. I am not sure if this is legit in the first place... a dodgy area to say the least.

Answer 2

That sounds like a good idea, thanks for your response.
