    Time to move to turkey

    Yeah my Turkish renewal price hasn't risen.

    The most important thing is to wait until Netflix have actually cut you off before heading to Turkey. Do not attempt this any earlier.

    oh and buy a years worth of turkish lira using revolut or n26, last time i checked the currency dropped again

    How do you do this with N26? I don't see anyway of doing it.

    You can't with N26. They just don't charge exchange rate fees, you get the mid market rate.

    Am I being stupid? I'm trying to sign up via turkey, using HolaVPN, but it's asking for a mobile number to confirm the account? Obviously it needs a Turkish number?

    You should be able to select confirm later or use a desktop etc rather than a mobile phone

    I'll go via the laptop and see. Tried going back in and now won't let me access Turkish netlfix sign up site.

    Can't change to turkey on the laptop. Mobile keeps asking to text me to confirm. Strange.

    Ive just run into the same issue. No option to skip this. Just get a "Sorry, we are unable to complete that action now. Please try again later." error when I put in my number.

    Q: OK.. I’m with you. I’m an existing Netflix subscriber in Ireland - what do I do?
    A: You need to cancel your recurring subscription on the Netflix site, then wait it has lapsed, and then re-activate using a VPN.

    If i go in now and cancel my account, does it cancel from the second i click it or am i paid up to the next time i should be billed, ie the 18th of April?

    Lets say on the 19th of April, do i VPN into Turkey and set up my subscription again but at the TL price and bobs your uncle, so my email address and password are still the same?

    And finally, new enough to revolut, but when i see people saying they buy a bulk of Turkish Lira, how do i do that? in the app do i have to set up another account with TL as the currency and top it up for a years worth of netflix then i set my revolut card to pay NF does it by default take the money from my TL account within revolut? (did i explain this badly)

    thanks in advance lads, i have read a rake of the thread but couldnt find specifics

    Your sub runs to the end of the billing period

    If you top up your revolut card with Euro, you can convert this in the app to Lira. The app keeps each of the currencies you have in separate "wallets", which essentially means you can have a number of different balances.

    Revolut will automatically try and pay in the currency of whichever currency wallet you are using, so if the bill is in Lira, and you have a lira balance, it will take from this first. If you don't have sufficient funds in that wallet, or don't have any of that currency at all, it will simply take from a wallet that has sufficient funds and convert on the fly, giving the current exchange rate

    Well unless you have a Turkish mobile number then it wouldn’t work would it and considering you’re pretending to be in turkey then entering an Irish mobile number would be a bit silly
    As advised here numerous times a desktop or similar to sign up not a mobile phone

    It was on a desktop. There is no way past the mobile verification. I ended up changing to Argentina and it worked without asking me for the number.

    Turkish lira taking a hammering today


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    is it? in the last month the highest was 0.1663 (16cent), current is 0.1522 (15cent), lowest is 0.1516.


  • Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 9,054 Mod ✭✭✭✭Aquos76


    I wonder how much of an increase can we expect when the raise the Turkish price, seems a lot of countries have had increas announcements in last few days.

    Only a matter of time before everybody gets hit with an increase, unfortunately.

    Disney have unveiled their price for the Disney+ service - $7. Obviously there's going to be different plans factoring in resolution, numer of screens etc but Netflix have to think long and hard about any price increase.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,557 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Netflix have a ton more content than Disney will have in the beginning.
    They have nothing to worry about in the medium term.

    Disney are going to make a ton of money from the "Ah it's only $7" brigade. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,552 ✭✭✭EagererBeaver


    I never said it's a Netflix killer? I said it will give them something to think about when it comes to price increases.

    Plus all of the content on the Disney platform will be PG13. Its for a specific kind of person

    I just had a look at the content planned and you’re right, highlight is Jeremy rennet as Hawkeye mini series
    Time to forget Disney plus for now I think

    It's not launching until November and probably selected markets so Netflix have nothing to worry yet.

    Depends on the % increase. ;)

    Exchange rate certainly helping the cause.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,071 ✭✭✭Ohmeha


    With the Turkish economy in recession and Lira still crashing there may not even be any Turkish Netflix price increase, if there is an increase it be a horrifying extra TRY 2.00 or something


  • Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 9,054 Mod ✭✭✭✭Aquos76


    Set up a new Netflix account for my folks today, used Speedify app on iPhone, set it to turkey and signed up for the two screen package, and set payment method up with Revolut card. They got a free month upon signup also.


  • Registered Users Posts: 31 CoffeeAnathema


    Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but I've been searching for ages and no joy elsewhere.


    I opened my Netflix account while living in the States, and have been charged in dollars. However, since they've raised their prices, this isn't working out for me any more. If I cancel my existing account, will they take unkindly to my trying to sign up again with the same personal details? :confused:

    I'd say read back over this thread and you'll find your question answered many times.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭Credit Checker Moose


    I would advise you to use a different email address and a different payment card.

    Thanks, but that may not be an option :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,766 ✭✭✭RossieMan

    You can't use the same email for a start. And using the same card wouldn't cause any issues.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,117 ✭✭✭cletus

    No need for either measure

    You can use the same email, I did, literally let my Irish sub expire then 10 seconds later I was in turkey renewing my sub.

    The only thing a different email gets you is trial month but keeping your sub keeps your lists, watch history, profiles.

    Hey lads, sorry, the SMS on sign up and looks to be looking for a Turkish mobile number... How do I get around that? Sorry in the middle of sign up so thought I would just ask

    Just skip it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭BKWDR


    Just skip it

    Doesn't give that option on the screen

    Do I need to use a new email address for the resign up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,766 ✭✭✭RossieMan


    Some had this issue with turkey. Use a different browser or vpn. Or use Argentina like some have.
    It's literally in the past couple of pages.

    Appreciate that and didn't want to be a d**k who didn't scroll a few pages back but was in the middle of it and panicked.
    Have all my Turkish lira on revolut ready to go!

    Try a different browser. It can definitely be done without it. Did it myself not too long back. Fairly certain I uses chrome and I've a premium getflix VPN so I used that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭BKWDR


    Hola VPN doesn't work for Netflix on laptop. Any other non sign up free services I can use?

    Just keeps on asking me for a turkish number to verify if i try on laptop or phone. Is this just not popping up for everyone else? There is no skip button or verify later etc.

    doesn't seem to work on Hola anymore, tried it myself there.

    Use a different one. You might need a premium sub to get most to Turkey.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭BKWDR


    Set up new account, via Argentina, can't seem to buy Argentina currency in revolut but it still is a bargain rate

    Cheers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭BKWDR


    Actually, I got charged for a month, Argentina must not offer a free month


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭Credit Checker Moose


    Were you already subbed to Netflix on the same email address?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭BKWDR


    Were you already subbed to Netflix on the same email address?

    Yeah I was. Tried to reactivate and everything was going hunky dory until the text thing

    People on the thread saying you can use your current account and email, others not

    Using a new email not a deal breaker, sure I didn't have anything in list's etc

    Too late for you, I suppose. I managed to get it to recognise Turkey using a trial version of Speedify.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭Credit Checker Moose


    You don't get a free month if you use an existing email address.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭BKWDR


    You don't get a free month if you use an existing email address.

    This was a new email address, new account, revolut got charged 299ars instantly
