High-vote services get prioritized for outreach

What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useWorks

A message sent to Grok received a reply from a Syrian connection, without a VPN, the reporter says. The reporter adds that Grok inside X still shows a not-available-in-your-country message.

Landing pageWorks

The reporter says grok.com now opens normally from Syria without a VPN; the Grok interface loaded with its menu and conversation list.

Sign-upWorks

The reporter says an account can be created normally from Syria.

Sign-inWorks

The reporter says signing in works normally on the web and in the app; the same report shows a signed-in account in use.

One-time codes (OTP)Fails

Receiving a verification code could not be reached from Syria: grok.com showed only "This service is not available in your region."

PaymentFails

Paying could not be reached from Syria: grok.com showed only "This service is not available in your region."

UpgradeFails

Upgrading to a paid plan could not be reached from Syria: grok.com showed only "This service is not available in your region."

Activity Summary

Usable in Syria as of October 2026. A volunteer contacted xAI support in February 2026 and the team wrote to X's legal department in March, which sent only a boilerplate reply; nothing links that outreach to the change.

Company Responded

Our Outreach

X's legal team replied only with a boilerplate message directing all account and policy inquiries to its standard web forms, without addressing Syria's outreach specifically.

What works instead

Until Grok is fully available in Syria, here's what we recommend. The badge on each shows how well it works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of Grok works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.

You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Grok directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
