    I think it is while they are testing. There are free sites that hit and miss will give you virtual (Country) numbers that work if you have to receive a text password or pin for example. If you don't there are also sites that will give you a fake address and number etc.

    They are just examples, there may be better versions. But if testing and they ask you for a number it may end up being advantageous in the long run if you were able to register with a number.

    Never once asked for a Turkish number. Just got the verification request via the Revolut app when I added it as a backup payment. Didn't use a VPN either. Yesterday it wouldn't work for me at all using any method, verification made but instantly rejected and when talking to Netflix live chat they said it was rejected because it was trying to verify in Turkish Lira where the account was created but the card used wasn't issued in Turkey and was verifying in Euro currency.

    The only other thing I can think of is that I only activated the new card yesterday so maybe something was done by Revolut between yesterday and today with my account to allow it work today? I've always had money in both Euro and Lira wallets in the past at the same time and never had an issue previously when payments were taken. My understanding is that Revolut will attempt to take payment in the currency of the charging vendor first and if there aren't sufficient funds in that currency then it takes it from whichever wallet has sufficient funds and automatically does a currency exchange.

    How would they know? IP address? What if 2 people in the house were both using their own mobile data hence different IP? Or one in the house is watching Netflix in a hotel room?

    Phones are usually NATd on the mobile provider side, all phones would appear to come from the same IP address.

    They are testing at the moment new ways of checking. I guess if two people were using different VPN's in the same house also no way of knowing, maybe they plan on adding location or something. Somebody has suggested elsewhere that it may be illegal anyway, in EU. Similar to them trying to stop people buying it one country and then bringing home that subscription.

    Equally, even if it was legal and it was implemented, surely it would be easy enough to bypass.

    Where's the best way to buy the Turkish vouchers?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,211 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    Probably

    g2a.com or eneba.com

    Sorry, read below.

    Turgame just bought 200 TL card worked no bother, had grief with g2a for some reason ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,211 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    Turgame. I couldn't think of the name of it. That is the closest to the actual exchange rate IIRC and another. Bynob? Bygamer? But that is all in Turkish.

    Yeah, sorry, G2a and eneba are good, but the actual Turkish ones best value exchange rate (I think).


    EDIT It was Bynogame - https://www.bynogame.com/tr/oyunlar/netflix

    Handy in case one is down.

    my PTSB debit card is due to expire next month, what's the best way to change over to something that it will accept now? Does Revolut work?

    I have Netflix with Turkey for couple of years now, was always around 6€ but now it's 3.4€ which is pittance for what you get.

    Getting worried that they'll pull out of Turkey or crackdown on people paying through another country.

    I'm paying through a normal bank account in Ireland so not sure how it still works. Kinda feels like stealing at this price



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,112 ✭✭✭Dacelonid



    Went to use that site and it is asking for GSM approval, which needs a Turkish ID number.


    Using my Revolut card (with Turkish Lira) on Netflix isn't working for some reason

    N26 does work, but then it asks me to confirm using a Turkish phone number



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,182 ✭✭✭BobMc


    just added 2x 100TL cards this morning, not allowing me to add anymore though



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,211 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    For Bynogame that is new. I have never been asked for anything other than payment with them before. Was there any option to skip it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 562 ✭✭✭muloc


    Revolut working for me. I had to use vouchers first as it wouldn't work with revolut but once they expired it came off revolut automatically



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,642 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987


    For a premium sub, Ireland is 3rd highest on that list!

    Not that I could see, anytime I picked the option to add funds to my account it asked for GSM confirmation (ie prove I was Turkish citizen).

    I couldn't see any way to buy something without adding money to the online wallet, but I freely admit I could've missed something very obvious.


    In the end I bought a voucher elsewhere and added it no problem. I hope now when I add a new payment method for revolut, I can confirm it with an Irish number and then the auto renewal will take it in Turkish Lira



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,066 ✭✭✭✭AngelaRI


    Turgame is selling on g2a - I bought some 2-3 weeks back at a really good rate, 3x 100TL. Vouchers arrived within 5 minutes, loaded all 3, one after the other, no issues to my Netflix account



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 968 ✭✭✭mistress_gi


    I recently set up a friend with vouchers and it stopped me adding more then 2 vouchers as well, i don't know why but it looks like it's profile linked, i managed to add the rest of the vouchers using 2 other profiles (i loaded 5 in total).

    You just have to chose another profile and go to account then it it should let you load more.

    I set her up with a voucher first, then tried to add card as backup payment, no joy, i just got an error so i ended up loading a year with of turkish vouchers.

    I've just checked and the voucher adding seems to be back to normal

    I bought 4 x 200 vouchers from Turgame. It let me add 2 vouchers then it blocked the Redeem page from opening. Tried with different browsers & the app on phone & all were blocked. Turned on Express VPN for Turkey & I loaded the last two. I'm paid up until September 2003 now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,182 ✭✭✭BobMc


    same happened me, tried when I got home and new turkey VPN ip, and they balance loaded for me, likewise, I'm paid up now to June 2023



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 971 ✭✭✭crinkley


    I've managed to add 2 vouchers which brings me up to the middle of July but it won't accept my revolut card or credit card as backup payment which I would ideally like to do


    may just keep adding vouchers to see how I get on



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,840 ✭✭✭Mr Velo


    My sub is due to renew on 27th.

    Anyone know if the OP bargain is still working if I was to cancel and sign up with VPN to turkey etc / Revolut payment etc?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 971 ✭✭✭crinkley



    I did it this morning and it worked with the vouchers just, I can't add any of my cards as a back up payment



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,596 ✭✭✭G1032

    Phew

    Just as well I checked in here

    Curve card expiry updated and wasn't sure if I needed to update while logged in via vpn.

    Checked here and a post on the previous page said to add a backup card firstl, which I did. It accepted the back up but it won't accept the new expiry of my Curve card.

    Edit

    Having re-read the post by @Mr.S I added the updated Curve card as a new payment method and it accepted that, overwriting the original Curve card. That remains preferred payment method with both my Revolut and Revolut virtual cards as back up. Virtual Revolut is valid until 2026.
