    Welcome to Mumbai! Please do the needful!

    Also couldn't help but notice that Top Gun Maverick is available on Indian Netflix (when the VPN is on)

    Same as everyone else this morning. Got a good few years out of this so can't complain.


    When logging in now it just says welcome and offers me the 3 different priced euro options. So log in online no problem.

    When I use a VPN (and different browsers including incognito) it won't let me log in at all, says password error (password is absolutely correct).


    When using vpn, and trying to sign up as a new account, just won't let me at all, no matter what country I select or what email address I try, just says there is a problem try later etc...

    I'm not overly tech savy, but seems they have some vpn checking in place?

    new development. My netflix account got cancelled today.

    Ive been using turkish netflix for better part of 4 years with revolut FX. LAtest monthly payment came out on the 21st feb as normal. I can renew but only with an irish account. How do I know this? I got on chat with support guy.

    Gist of the conversation was account was cancelled for unusual activity, ie, paying in one country but watching in another. I can renew but must use a payment method and it should be for the country that I mainly watch netflix in. He said you must do this if youre watching it from a different country for a continuous 30 days, (different then that currency that you pay in)

    I have a continuous VPN on (to UK mostly) on some of the devices.

    Has anyone else faced this issue? If I find a way to sign up to another country again will a VPN to that country on devices work I wonder.

    Same thing happened with mine today, is there a workaround to it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,290 ✭✭✭alwald


    I have a premium subscription in Mexico for years as they were cheap back then. Right now they aren't and the likes of Egypt, Pakistan and Bolivia are way cheaper.

    To change country I need to cancel my account and reopen it under the new country (using VPN). My library and all my history of viewing is saved for 10 months.

    Am I correct in saying that the content of my netflix will always be the one of the country I am logged in (based on the IP address) as opposed to the billing country?

    Any downside in creating an account in the countries I mentioned above (Egypt, Pakistan and Bolivia)?

    Same for me, cancelled today.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,588 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    Disney isnt gone, I reactivated mine the day they cancelled it and it has been working fine since.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭tossy


    I signed up for a new account in Turkey with a new e mail address and used a G2A card,I got to the verification by SMS screen, started googling for SMS services and reading this thread and couldn't find any where with a Turkish number so lost heart went back to Netflix just clicked the Netflix logo to go to the home page ( i think) anyway it's working for now.

    Urgh, like everyone else, finally booted out of Turkey today.

    I would just let it cancel, but it's very useful for my 4yr old.

    Back to paying €15 per month



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,915 ✭✭✭clint_silver



    Ive tried 3 different countries now and they just will not let me sign up a new account on a vpn. wont even take a new email let alone enter any payment details.

    Damn you Netflix and your evolving technologies.

    Good ride while it lasted. Ive had full premium for 4 years I think, good few quid saved. Ill keep trying for a bit because I LOVE netflix games on my phone

    I wonder how much business they will loose as a result of this. 449 lira a month is better than nothing. For me it will be nothing. I can't justify 15 a month every month



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,079 ✭✭✭irelandrover


    If mine is cancelled the I'll have to pay the 15. My young kids use it quite a bit.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,148 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Id say loads. Netflix isn't the must have that it used to be.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,085 ✭✭✭irelandspurs


    Mine blocked too 😞😞



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 485 ✭✭gizabeer


    My Turkish sub got cancelled too , I always just paid with my AIB Visa debit for about the last 5 years and never a problem , Anyway...

    Every time I tried to log in it wouldn't recognise my password when I had the VPN running so to get it working I just logged in as normal got to the payments page where it was €21 or whatever for the full package , Then I switched on the VPN and selected India , went back to the payments page and refreshed and it and it gave the prices in Rupees , selected the full HD pack for 649 Rupees (its only €7.60) so still dirt cheap and added my payment method (AIB Visa debit) and just asked me to confirm with a txt from AIB, which I did and now its working again.

    I think they will lose quite a lot of revenue

    t’s not worth €15 a month really, my curve card expired a few months back and after a few weeks of being annoyed I couldn’t update it we all just got used to it

    a decent plex or emby service for the win

    The internet isn’t for everyone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,915 ✭✭✭clint_silver


    I tried this exact method with argentina and didnt work. every time I switched on and off the vpn to get the local prices it said problem with payment

    I tried it with India vpn, it got past the sign up, enter revolut card, took the details, confirmed with revolut, back to netflix, confirm and then it still says "problem with payment"..

    If you try your card too much, they effectively block your account sign up for 24 hours. At least that’s what they told me when I switched from Argentina to Turkey a few months back. I just went gift cards for that reason



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,120 ✭✭✭Tails142


    As others have posted, my account was shadowbanned today.

    What grates me is that they only took the payment for another month a couple of days ago, was subbing through turkey for 6 quid or whatever. They have been going through some inflation by the way, its increased from a couple of euro in less than 12 months.

    Told the wife I probably wouldn't renew, asked her what we used it for and she said peppa pig lol

    T..T...T...That's all folks!

    Was going good until it asks me for mobile number to send code



  • Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 9,295 Mod ✭✭✭✭Aquos76


    Set up a new account via India, used Revolut and all good again, €7.34 for the top package



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 217 ✭✭w4ntedman


    Same here with Revolut but avantcard worked no problem. Might be a case of trying cards until one bites ( until they crack down in India too at least)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,806 ✭✭✭SleetAndSnow


    Cheers lads, Turkish one stopped today so followed the steps above, went as far as paying with Ireland, turned on vpn for India, confirmed, had to press restart membership again went through steps and now back working… for this month at least



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 180 ✭✭pelluci


    Had the exact same problem, so tried it with AIB card, and it worked (someone above said they did it with N26 as Revolut didn't work, but their friend was the opposite, so it seems to be random as to which card will work.....maybe just a different one to what you used previously).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 534 ✭✭✭TheBigEvil


    Same here, turkish account kicked today.

    But just tried India account with revolut but not working for me, I get to verification step, and verify on revolut I get the error "There appears to be a problem with the payment method you are trying to use."

    Im on express VPN to india when I do it

    I couldn't add Curve when setting up the India account so used avantcard but it let me add Curve as a back up without a problem. No idea why
