    Turkey gone for me too. Had it for about 7 years.

    I had Turkey account for last 3 years, canccelled last night. Anyone signing up again using different email/country?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,000 ✭✭✭whosedaddy?


    just have read of the last few pages ...

    your mileage may vary



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,000 ✭✭✭whosedaddy?


    who has copped? Netflix or the mexican cartels;-)

    Failed all attempts to signup.. got on to chat.. sound lad, but could not get him to open up payment window in the chat.. but he kept saying, just use gift cards. I might give it a go.. So tried turgame and its a bit of a nightmare of a site.. OTP is a bit of a PITA on it.. then made the mistake of verifying my account using my Irish number, now only wire transfer is available for payment. Is this the norm or would more card options be available if using a Turkish number? How does everyone else pay on Turgame?

    Are you ppl getting email about cancellation of Turkish sub or just doesnt let you login anymore?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,220 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    You don’t get an email you just get shadow banned for breaking terms and conditions

    The internet isn’t for everyone



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


    It lets you log in but when you try watch something it'll bring you to subscription page.

    India still working this morning in this house. 🤞🤞🤞

    Nigeria working for under €3 who needs Turkey

    got no cancellation email or refund. just unsubscribed.

    what id be wary off is subscribing with virtual sms provider. me thinks they will use it to for ongoing comms to confirm your status.

    I'd say it's far more likely they'll monitor IP usage and do another blanket sweep in 30 days (or less).

    A guy on Reddit from the UAE was complaining about being dropped from his cheaper Pakistani subscription, so it's not looking good for simply hiding out in another country.

    Don't use vpn to sign up to True Game. You should see prices in Euro. Use Irish phone number to verify.

    It's worth the effort to set up. €6 per month for Premium 4k Netflix. For Turkey gift cards have been the most straight forward option for the last few years



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 496 ✭✭247music


    Can't remember if I used a VPN or not.. if I didn't would I have an option to pay in IE card?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,000 ✭✭✭whosedaddy?


    suppose that is a given now. sms is just an extra tool they can use..

    from their T&cs

    4.3. You may access the Netflix content primarily within the country in which you have established your account and only in geographic locations where we offer our service and have licensed such content.

    and another great revenue stream.. allow ppl to sign up and then shadowban them next month just after debiting the sub.. with no comeback on payment.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Simi


    Do the 200TL gift cards cover the 229TL premium charge? It would be annoying to have to buy multiple cards for each month.

    Don't really want to load more that a month given the current situation.



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


    No they don’t, why would they? You would need to my multiple cards.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 811 ✭✭✭Rock Paper Scissors


    How did you get around the sms verification for Nigeria?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28 Danmj


    It didn't look for it. Used vpn unlimited turned on to Nigeria open netflix and got Nigerian price. Entered credit card details turned off vpn to verify card details, once verified turn vpn back on to finish setup



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,731 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    For me, my sub comes out beginning of month but not a big loss in that regard.

    My first thought of as my account had been hacked so it's at least a relief in that regard seeing other posts here.

    Tried last night to sign up to Nigeria, turkey and India. India showed in dollars using VPN Unlimited and the revolut didn't work for the other 2. May try with AIB card later, though might get flagged for having small foreign payments taken out. Or may try the turgames route for now.

    Folks, are ye using same account when moving from Turkey or do I need to create new one?

    ^ Been using my AIB Credit Card for paying for Netflix in Turkey, and India now. Has never been an issue.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,916 ✭✭✭alxmorgan


    PTSB card. Exact same setup as you i.e. VPN unlimited. Luck of the draw I guess



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭gar


    Bah

    Tried that (as in turned off the VPN for credit card)and then it charged me the full irish price and no streaming service in the account now



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


    I used the same one.

    Interesting how the chat guy recommended using gift cards. I'll be throwing on a programme every month with a turkish vpn to tick that box.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,956 ✭✭✭bromley52


    It will be re reverted in about 12 hrs. Same thing happened to me yesterday.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 photovoodoo100


    Just signed into India but left on the VPN when verifying card and it worked accepted with no problems so far



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,405 ✭✭✭Dr_Colossus


    +1, back in Sep 2019 my Turkish Netflix Premium account was cancelled (reason on chat was suspicious activity) but they automatically refunded the prior 2 months of payments made to my Revolut account. Re-signed up to the Standard plan but couldn't get it to accept Revolut so used an AIB credit card which had been working since.

    Also had my Disney Turkish account cancelled after about 5 months into a yearly sub paid upfront (prices had increased a lot from 350 to 650 TRY in interim and suspect that might have been a driving force). That was automatically refunded to Revolut also and signed back up again at the higher price using a fresh email address which is due to expire in Apr.

    I'm still hopeful they're refund payments taken for services not rendered as otherwise it's a very grey area. Like others I have a couple of family members on my plan who use it a lot more than me but waiting a few days to see what if anything transpires or if other new accounts are being shut down.

    So, my turkish sub has been cancelled. Tried to login and restart it from india. Everything was going smoothly up until the payment menthod, entered revolut and requested verification from card, pressed ok and then "there was a problem with the payment method"


    Im not paying irish prices for this trash that i only keep it for the children


    So anyone else managed to resubscribe?


    My ipvanish vpn has no nigeria


    I wonder what if we manage to subscribe through different country and have always the vpn on while watching. Will this work?

    my netflix also cancelled, was using n26, cancelled due to "suspicious activity"! Tryin to resubscribe with a different (Revvolut) card in Turkey but not joy!

    what is the solution? Is this just the new normal?
