Please unblock the voicemail app for GoogleUS accounts

Trying to download the Fizz Voicemail app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.streamwide.fizz.vvm when physically living in Canada but with a GoogleUS account:

"This item is not available in your country".

Please unblock the app, at least for GoogleUS accounts. Switching Google accounts to a different country is a very big change (among others: you have to destroy your Google family) and blocking the app like this does not serve much purpose.

Thank you!

    You are be able to switch your region within Google Play.
    You will have to set up a payment method that is from the country, so a debit/credit card from a Canadian financial institution should suffice.
    Source: Google Play support page

    But you mentioned that you can't make the switch without sacrificing Google Family group so the only other option would be to create a new Google account and setting up a payment method from Canada (and most likely using another phone number to create the account)

    If you absolutely need the app, I don't recommend it but you might be able to install the app via APK. Be very careful where you source the app from as it can be a security risk.

    What keeps you from creating a 2nd Google account in Canada? If you have valid payment cards from both countries, it shouldn't be any problem. Android phones can easily manage both accounts.
