    Anyone recommend a cheap VPN to use ? I've been using Smart DNS Proxy for years to get BBC iPlayer but it doesn't seem to work as proper VPN.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,730 ✭✭✭✭loyatemu


    SmartDNSProxy have a VPN app and in my experience it works reasonably well.

    I also have PIA VPN which you can get for next to nothing (or actually free sometimes) via TopCashBack. Again, works fine, and has more countries than SmartDNSProxy.

    Cheers for that. Yeh I've tried out that smart VPN app on my tablet. I switched it to Turkey but Netflix kept coming up in euro and IP checker was still showing Dublin. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.. might sit down this weekend and go through it again.

    Will have a look at PIA VPN if I've no luck .

    Thanks again

    Just downloaded the app to my phone. It would not work on WiFi (at home - virgin) but when I switched WiFi off it then came up as Turkey. Will try to register later. That's for that 🙂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,730 ✭✭✭✭loyatemu


    I'm with Virgin for broadband and it works for me on WiFi, but you only need it to register anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,011 ✭✭✭Liamalone


    Yeah, tried it later on again after the dust settled and same outcome, both on smart tv and firestick. I googled elsewhere and came up with folk experiencing similar.

    50% increase. Standard up from 69.99 TRY since January.

    Still only cost me €3.34 last bill I suppose.

    Any sign of them cracking down on password sharing in Turkey?

    Came out today at 97.99 but got email about price increase:

    We hope you’re enjoying everything Netflix has to offer. We’re updating our prices to bring you more great entertainment. Your monthly price will change to TL 149.99 on October 18th, 2023



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,128 ✭✭✭0ph0rce0


    it's going up again...

    How many increases is that in the last year. about 3 or 4.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 538 ✭✭✭muloc


    Think this is the 4th in about 18 months but it's to bring us more great entertainment so I suppose that's ok 😆



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,804 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Even though it keeps increasing, it's been relatively similar prices month by month from a euro point of view. When i started paying for Netflix in Turkey it was 41.99 TUR, which was €6.62. This was in 2019. My most recent payment was 130.99 TUR which was €4.58. Bonkers when you think about it.

    I think everyone on this thread (including me) owes netflix subscribers in Turkey an apology. its clearly our actions that are driving prices up. 😆

    I successfully updated my card details on a Turkish account. My Curve card was expiring at the end of the month so I ordered a new one via their app.

    Here are the steps I completed to update the card.

    • Downloaded PingMe app via Google Playstore and topped up credits using Google Pay (bought 5 coins for 5.5USD)
    • Disconnected my WiFi on phone so my phone would use cellular data
    • Connected to Turkey VPN using Keep Solid VPN unlimited
    • Opened Incognito tab and went to Netflix.com
    • Signed In, My Account, Update Payment Details, Add Card
    • Added my new Curve Card details
    • When it came to text verification, switched to PingMe app, verification tab, selected Turkey and Netflix hit Next
    • Pasted the Turkish phone number provided by ping me to Netflix
    • Received SMS code via Ping Me app and pasted this to Netflix
    • Deleted old card

    Anyone having problems with PingMe - tried a couple of numbers but didnt work and now its coming up with no available numbers 🤯....do they give you a certain amount in a given time and then you got to wait for new batch?...i guess it was never going to be easy!

    Thanks for sharing! worked a treat - PingMe was a little tricky but stuck with it and came good.

    Just for others who dont have a VPN already, I was initially using the free Windscribe VPN but it just wasnt working. Switched to the Hola VPN - free 3 day trial - and it worked straight away.

    New curve card added & payment taken (my old card was expiring today) so hopefully should be good now until 2026 😁

    Hi all, I have received my new N26 card and now unable to update it. What is the best way to update card details? I have tried to use vpn with incognito mode via phone but no joy. Thanks in advance.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,251 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    so i have had curve working away for years and the card expired last nights payment bounced obviously so i went to curve to find the new details and update but there is no new card, i don't fancy trying revolut with it or ptsb because it has been working perfectly for years and don't want to poke the bear


    anyone know why curve hasn't updated a new card ? i am baffled

    The internet isn’t for everyone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭WertdeerSC


    My account is "on hold" as there was a problem with my last payment (!)

    Have they closed the loop?!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,255 ✭✭✭✭Sleeper12


    I thought they closed it a long time ago. I have tried Curve, Revolut, Wise and N26 & all failed. I've been buying Netflix Turkey gift cards for the last year or two. This is a little more expensive but if all your cards fail then not much option



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,251 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    Who were you paying with ? Maybe your card expired

    The internet isn’t for everyone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭WertdeerSC


    I think it's because the card I purchased on Turgame has been used up. I tried to buy another earlier today but it's stuck on processing. I had a text from the bank asking a Y or N to confirm it was me, replied Y, but it still hasn't gone through. Might have to give them a call.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 676 ✭✭✭The wonderfish


    had similar problem, my curve expired but new details hadn’t updated on app, contacted their help centre (select account and it’s an option near the bottom). They sorted it out for me, response time is slow though, expect to wait around 24hrs for an update to your query

    I used to use Trendyol through my FUPS account to buy Netflix Vouchers for cost price online. No service fees etc

    But went to adda few today and Trendyol site sends a OTP to the original phone number you registered with and if that was an online single use number it can process.


    Ended up buying 5 months on Turgame for 36.45 so not too much extra.
