I'm abroad - can I use BBC iPlayer on my phone?

No. Because of rights restrictions, we are not allowed to make BBC video available outside the UK. This means that BBC iPlayer is currently only available on your mobile within the UK. 

At the moment, we don't have the capacity to serve overseas customers with either live or listen again radio content on mobiles. However you can listen to BBC radio outside the UK from a desktop computer - go to www.bbc.co.uk/radio.

The BBC's commercial arm, BBC Worldwide, have released a global version of BBC iPlayer on iPad and iPhone devices. Visit the BBC iPlayer (Global) YouTube channel for further information.
