    You should join the family while one is going, it’s cheap to have a second one going for a few weeks

    I just got swapped over to Turkish account. The hola Turkish vpn doesn't always work so if it wont work id say try again later. Currently €3.67 for the 2 screen which is a nice bargain. Thanks everyone

    I tried getflix and it's a bit slow. I signed up to it and used it to access US Netflix. When I watch a TV show for example, it would load for like 3 - 5 minutes before it starts playing the episode. Sometimes it also buffers in the middle of an episode and I have to wait another 3 - 5 minutes before it resumes playing. Is this normal?
    That's crap so,tried a number of vpns and they all are slow and buffer,I gave up

    The service I use is Windscribe. I use it for accessing multiple media sites and so far no issues. Like you I tried so many services.

    I'd purchase the one month Pro and see how you get on with it. Either way if you do, let us know here how you find the service.

    Irish sub ended today.

    Changed the email address on it to a dud one I don't use anymore.

    Signed up new Turkish account using my original Netflix email.

    Got a free month, and now it's only €5.20 a month for four screens. Fantastic stuff. Thank you Bargain Alerts!!!

    Between this deal and the "student " amazon prime deal, I've saved a fair few bob over the next 6 months. Thank you Brexit and political uncertainty. I'll take the gains while I can.

    My next bargain is that Vodafone "Data User Plan". Bargain Alerts on fire as of late. I'm paying Vodafone 15 euro a month more for less data / minutes. :eek:

    Anyway, just got SmartDNSProxy for 22euro for 24 months (79% off offer after I ended my trial). Now have US Netflix, BBC iPlayer, ITV Player and more.

    Thanks all... changed last night to Turkey - 4 Screen+HD has went from €10.99 to ~€3.60. The tight bastard in me thinks I should've have added my Revolut card to save a few more pennys! :D

    This, along with my Boards Spotify Family Deal, is saving me a small fortune a year!

    Isn't that the standard, 2 screen prices?

    I'm on the same deal. Free month is nearly up so will pay my first payment this week. I used my Revolut to save the extra few cent (and avoid the non-euro transaction fee).

    Another Windscriber here, I got a 3 year sub through stack social for $12.49 a while ago. It's quality, instant connection, loads of countries to choose from - I needed it to watch the GAA on RTE from the UK. It's worked for Turkey without issue for this. I used cyberGhost for a few years before and while it did the job was a LOT more expensive.

    In order to change billing region i assume you have to cancel subscription, wait until it ceases and start again? Am Japan at the mo but they are raising prices end of the month so need to change


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 907 ✭✭✭Under His Eye


    Turkey is the way to go at the moment.

    Yes

    Renewed mine earlier and 4 screens + UHD is less than 6 euro that's 8 euro savings compared to the Irish plan


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,648 ✭✭✭Red Silurian


    Yes

    Is there a new email address needed to restart as Turkish subscriber?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,030 ✭✭✭✭Basq

    No, I simply cancelled my existing Netflix membership.

    Then after expiry.. open your VPN of choice (browse to Turkey), go to Netflix, sign-in and reactivate sub.

    Use the same email address if you want to keep history, use a different one for the free month.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,634 ✭✭✭OmegaGene

    some of us like the 4 screen package so we can share it with others and get it even cheaper, 4k all the way baby and its costing me feck all for the year

    Turkish prices

    39.99TL - 4 screens
    27.99TL - 2 screens
    15.99TL - 1 screen

    Euro equivalent prices change by the minute


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,634 ✭✭✭OmegaGene


    39.99 lira is €5.54 at the moment on Revolut

    So I'm thinking of doing the Turkish sign up. I'm fine with the process but after you start (with all the other users on the 4 screen account). Do Netflix just not care that you and your pals have all moved back to Ireland from Turkey to watch Netflix??? My son is paranoid we'll get band??

    Netflix get paid and they don’t care where you are based, I was watching in America earlier and now I’m in the uk, I do this on a daily basis.
    Tell your son to take off his foil hat and get out more lol

    I have an account in Turkey for my son, he thinks the content is not as much as in Ireland. The content is it relevant to the country you sign up or the country you use it?

    Is it better to get my bother in Colombian or Turkey to get me an account? What get more content if it is relevant to the country you register in? Thanks

    No, the content is determined by the location you are watching it from. If you want more, you can use a VPN to access US or UK Netflix for example.

    Your son is acting the knob or several things worse.

    Content is determined by your IP location at the time of watching, not your billing address.

    Just re-upped in Turkey for €5.69 pm, or at least for this month anyway.

    So I’ll be changing mine at the end of the month and have just got a Revolut virtual card and added some euros.

    Do I need to convert them to the Turkish Lira to be used or will it be done in real time and just leave it there in Euro?

    I’d prefer to not have to convert as I want to use on the likes of amazon etc too.

    Leave the currency as it is, the idea of Revolut is they do all the work for you

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,575 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    you could set up a lira balance with just the correct amount converted

    No point really is there, I keep a Euro balance in mine all the time and have various currencies coming out, great card to have

    No harm really just in case the Lira starts to improve, could get worse too though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,001 ✭✭✭timple23


    So are people setting up there billing address as turkey (using vpn) to get cheaper rates and then switching to an American vpn so they can watch whatever shows they want to? (I would consider getting Netflix to watch The Office US in hd)
