    Hi 247music, which vpn did you use?. I've tried Keepsolid and Tunnelbear VPNs , but I'm getting the message "We Couldn't Verify Your Country" for Peru and other cheap countries. Cheapest i can get to the subscribe option is Poland at €11. Thanks

    Got the Turkey gift card method to work. I kept getting the "Apple ID cannot be created at this time" message but I went back to it last night and it worked. I tried ipad, apple tv, browser and kept getting the message, I tried different date of births and it worked for some reason. Went on to Turgame and got 250TR card just to see if it would work. Get strange messages from them saying order was cancelled and loads of spam mails but I eventually got the code this morning. Logged in under new ID and redeemed and its working fine. Just takes a bit of patience I guess. €5.50 v next cheapest which I think was Poland (on my VPN anyway) at €11 for family is worth the hardship but now that I know, will be a lot easier when I top up.

    Tunnelbear worked for me, free version. I changed to oeru

    Strange. I get "We Couldn't Verify Your Country " when I'm in Peru, Chilli, South Africa. But I can get through with Croatia €14.60, UAE €12.70, Israel €12.20, Cyprus €12.99, Poland €11.

    Which Tunnelbear flavour you using ? Android, Windows, Web browser extension ?

    Peru

    I'm using an account with no premium for these tests. My Turkey account is getting the chop this day next week. So just susing things out to have a plan for next weekend

    I get that a lot but it seems to work when I'm trying to renew my cancelled subscription. I use tunnelbear on Android phone.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 458 ✭✭_John C


    You trying through the youtube app or through Web browser on phone ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,813 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Neither. I cancelled my subscription so got the email with the "renew" button

    With VPN on, clicked on button which opened chrome and then auto opened sub page on YT app.

    I get the "not in this country" lark if I try googling YT premium

    No joy there either. Thanks anyway 👍

    did you allow you subscribtion to lapse before you did Turkey gift card method?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,398 ✭✭✭webpal


    yes, when I was kicked out of India I cancelled. Said I’d give the ads a go for a bit but no way



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 434 ✭✭Romero


    Having got the dreaded cancellation message, Payment was due out today for Argentina and about about an hour ago on the TV noticed my first ads, checked Revolut no payment taken went up on PC turned on my VPN Windscribe set server to Warsaw, googled a random address and used my revolt card and payment went through for 11 euros and didn't have to mess with the existing family. Interesting to see how long this will last.

    Wrong thread

    Can anyone who has been in this situation give me an idea of what to expect?

    I have been in India for a few years, got the email ,eventually got it to accept a card (curve) after trying several.There's no message now apart from next payment due December 12.

    Does the crowd think I'm in the clear or have people got this far and still been kicked off?

    Before anyone says to read the thread, I have. I know the payment can be taken and could get booted a few days later. What I am trying to find out is whether or not the absence of a message to do anything on the app implies that from the YT side everything is rosy in the garden. Unfortunately I didn't note at the time whether the app was giving notice to fix or it was just the email.

    Thanks in advance

    It's the 14th now - was money taken on the 12th?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 212 ✭✭w4ntedman


    Good point drunken typo 16th not 12th

    This method just worked for me to renew my expired Ukranian family plan, using my Irish payment card.

    Mine was too go today and in revolut to come out

    About a hour ago I opened YouTube and seen cabury santa advert banner, then played a video and got adverts

    Tried Nord VPN too Moldova and didn't get video adverts, then Moldova adverts started

    Looking like smart tube on my firestick, it's even meant to skip the product placement adverts that YouTubers put in now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,121 ✭✭✭✭CoBo55


    My payment for Argentina was taken yesterday 14th, the dreaded email says the 19th is D-day I'll see what happens.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭Simi


    South Africa and Vietnam both require a payment method issued in that country. Peru and Chile are worth a shot though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 458 ✭✭_John C


    Thanks Simi for pointing that out, missed that detail . Down to Chile , Peru and Poland now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,813 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    I wonder why peru doesn't have the rule, is their banking system such that many people have "foreign" cards?

    Still trucking strong here on my Malaysian account despite the email, payment was taken this month. Now I'll have to wait and see if the second email comes…

    Finally got the chop in Turkey today. 😭 It's been great.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,297 ✭✭✭Fabio


    Did the same, although I did get Revolut to work. It took me a good few attempts to make it work because the payment confirmation page would close during authentication. Whenever it asked you to confirm the charge in Revolut the webpage would close. Switched browsers and that worked eventually.
