    Hey folks, I am planning on doing this turkey trick, I currently have netflix running with a sub. If I cancel that sub and wait until it's expired, can I use the same email address I had been using all along and maintain the history/etc in there? Or will I need to create a brand new account anyway?

    Yes you can use the same account.

    You must wait until the account actually stops working. Many don't wait and run into bother.

    There's an FAQ in the very first post of this thread.

    My Netflix expired yesterday, so went into Turkish site today. Used Tor browser ( you can add a line to a configuration file so the last circuit shows you as in Turkey). Only problem was that I wasnt able to sign into my account for some reason. Kept saying there was a problem. So I went for the free trial and used a different email address. Went for the premium plan at 39.99 lira. Took a few tries to get it to accept the Revolut card but it did on the 3rd or 4th attempt. Hopefully it will be ok once the first payment is due.

    Just wanted to say that this worked for me. Steps followed:
    1. Tried VPN options on Firefox and Chrome - kept getting blocked by needing mobile number, so stopped this.
    2. Downloaded tor browser: https://www.torproject.org/download/
    3. Opened the folder where Tor was installed (defaulted to my desktop)
    4. Edited the file C:\Users\Dulpit\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torcc
    5. The file was initially blank, added the line ExitNodes {tr} and saved.
    6. Opened Tor, went to netflix.com. It defaulted to the Turkish site.
    7. As previous poster said, clicking login does not work. Clicking Try 30 Days Free does work though. I went for the Standard plan at 29.99 Lira.
    8. When prompted to enter new email address/password I just used my existing details, it recognised I had an account and welcomed me back. I then entered payment details (Revolut) and saved. Revolut shows me being charged €4.57, much better than the €11.99 on Irish site.
    9. I did a quick test on netflix now and all seems normal, still have view history, breakdown of family, all that jazz.

    I see Netflix is up across Europe for the top plans, €12 for full hd 2 screens and €16 for 4k and 4 screens

    Anyone know what the price increase is for Turkey or what the story is? Can't find anything myself

    Netflix Turkey going up per the below. A devastating 20 cent increase p/m for me on the Standard plan

    Basic: TRY 15:99 to TRY 17:99
    Standard: TRY 27:99 to TRY 29.90
    Premium: TRY 39.99 to TRY 41.99

    I, for one, am absolutely outraged.


  • Registered Users Posts: 297 ✭✭Low Energy Eng


    Signed up no problem via Turkey. I'm based in Australia using Ivacy vpn. I use a no fee for foreign transaction credit card.
    Wish I did it sooner tbh.
    Thanks OP

    Which is still way cheaper.
    At least they are putting them up everywhere and not just Turkey.

    Argentina prices going up too from ARS219 to ARS269 (or €4.50 to €5.50) for the 2 screen pack

    I think the poster was being sarcastic about the whopping price increase

    Very true.
    My point was price is going up everywhere so at least the increase is consistent and not just for Turkey which I'm sure now must have more subscribers than population!

    I don’t think there are more subscribers than population of turkey lol, look at how many people can’t manage to sign up that are posting on here
    The majority of people wouldn’t bother with it

    Changed. ;)

    Similar 20 cent increase for me on the premium plan, my last month cost me €6.40 so I won't be complaining when I'm still saving €10 a month

    I've often gone a couple weeks without even using Netflix, but at the price I'm paying I'll still sub for a long time

    Is a VPN just needed for sign up?

    Once you have an account I assume you can access as normal through smart tv etc?

    I've told exactly everybody I know who has Netflix about this loophole, and precisely nobody has availed of it. Most people say something along the lines of "Jaysus, is that right. Can you do that, you can?", and then continue to pay the Irish rates. It's just too much hassle for most people

    I've even offered to do it for people and they're still not bothered, a couple were even convinced they'd be stuck with Turkish Netflix and even after I showed them my account and my bank statements with the payments out still think it's not as simple as I've said it is
