I just wanted to watch a Champions League match on SonyLIV in India, but I quickly discovered that I needed to do a few hacks in order for me to succeed on my mission. At first, I was greeted to the SonyLIV website with the following error message.

When you see the error message above you immediately get a couple of questions.

• What can I do to get rid of the message?

• Who is the guy that wrote that crappy sentence exchanging the word geography with location (or some other more suitable word)?

Well, I will try to answer the first two questions in this article.

How to watch SonyLIV abroad?

If you want to watch SonyLIV outside India, you will need to get an Indian IP address. Whenever you visit the SonyLIV website, they will check your IP address, and if they see that you are located outside India, you will get the mentioned error message. Now, it is quite easy to get an Indian IP address, but it is important to notice that it isn’t enough just to get an Indian IP address. Beneath we have used the VPN services of ExpressVPN, IPVanish and several others, but look what kind of message we get as we try to watch an actual program.

Can you see it? Using a VPN with an Indian IP address might get you to the actual SonyLIV website, but you might still see the error message as you try to watch certain programs, movies, and sports events on SonyLIV. So, which VPN service will make you able to bypass these error messages, and not only give you access to the website, but access to the live streams and all the programs available on the SonyLIV website?

How to create a user at the SonyLIV website?

It is quite easy to register at the SonyLIV website and you should be able to do so using your Facebook profile, cell phone number or your Google+ profile. I had some trouble myself during the registration process, so the website didn’t really react as I used the confirmation code I got to my phone (using SMS). I did a couple of tests with different cell phone numbers in different countries (using a free SMS receiver service), and in the end, I succeeded. Hopefully, it will be even easier for you.

You do not really need to create a user in the first place, but if you want to have a Premium package, you will need to create a user first. But, how can you sign up for the Premium package? How can you pay for the Premium package?

How to create a user at the SonyLIV website?

Unfortunately, SonyLIV is now limited to users with a cell phone number available in India. As a result, you will not be able to register a SonyLIV account unless you have a local number in India. That might sound easy to fix with free SMS services online, but the problem is that all cell phone numbers in India have to be registered with a real name, address and so on, and thus you will not find free “receive SMS websites with Indian numbers” online. As a result, we do not have a working method that will help you actually CREATE a user at the SonyLIV website abroad, unless you already have an account, or know someone who can help you with an Indian cell phone number available.
