    Excellent. Most VPN don't do Argentina, anyone have a good free VPN for Argentina?
    Edit tunnelbear.
    So how does one change? Cancel with a day to go and then resign up?

    How is tunnellbear free?

    You get 500Mb a month so it's only good for signing up to something. No good for using it unless u pay.

    Revolut works but I'd say they don't care.

    Just used Indian YouTube to get premium works out at like 1.46 a month and got my first month free (again haha).

    Used my Irish debit card, no issue and now the Irish YouTube is showing up as premium, happy days!

    Edit: Cancelled the Indian one and went for the Argentinian one instead, managed to get the family plan for 1.70 a month. Even better.

    Funnily enough Argentinian YouTube wouldn't accept my Irish debit card so had to use my revolut which worked like a charm.

    Off topic I know. We’ve done it with Netflix, now YT premium. I wonder is it possible to switch Spotify family premium to, let’s say, India?

    So I cancelled my India sub whicg will be active until expiry date. Turned on tunnelbear Arg and went back to YouTube. 2 choices a) renew India from the expiry date or b) buy Argentina from expiry date. Signed up for 119 pesos from my expiry date.
    Used an address I found on Google. Revolut froze card so I unfroze and off we went.
    A bargain becomes a better bargain.
    BASICALLY CANCEL, TURN ON ARG VPN AND REBUY. YOU WONT LOOSE ANY SUBSCRIPTION TIME.
    Do you lose any playlists though

    I use Vanced on Android, but find the less than €2 a month for YouTube Family (via Argentina, for me - was cheapest at the time; cost €1.74 this month) worthwhile as it includes YouTube Music, so I can play pretty much anything without audio ads. Great to get it to play the song you want when you ask it, rather than a "radio station" vaguely like it.

    This wasn't necessary until Google killed Google Play Music, as it would play my own uploaded tunes, but they did, so needs must. And nice to be able to get the Google Home to play anything I want to hear on a whim.
    Doesn't YouTube music within vanced manager have no ads too?

    Does the family subscription allow members to retain their history/subscriptions etc from their personal accounts?

    I just cancelled my individual account, and signed up for a family account (from Argentina) and all my history and subscriptions etc. Are still there.

    On another note, when I cancelled my account I still had the benefits until Jan 27th, so like 1/3 of the monthly payment left... And signing up again got the rest of the month prorated... It is only an additional €0.19 for the month.......... But still🀣🀣🀣🀣

    From what I see, you're not cancelling an account so all history and activity is retained. It's the subscription on the account that changes. I did loose my stats of premium benefits tho.

    So all you guys using this already use a VPN, otherwise you need to factor that price in too?

    You only need a VPN for sign-up. Tunnelbear worked fine for me And it's free version gives plenty of data for a sign-up.

    Yep, I have NordVPN already, they do have a 30-day cancellation period and get your money back if you want.

    Love these treads. A bit off topic but still Google related. How are people working around Google photos with the end to unlimited photo uploads.

    I just used the free version of hola, it's very good in fairness I can watch BBC iPlayer and the ITV player again which is an added bonus. I was using unlocator but the players stopped working, actually that reminds me I'll have to check when it up for renewal and make sure it doesn't auto renew.

    I see Netflix premium is 41.99 in Turkish lira. I wonder if you cancel your sub can you re-sign up when over in Turkey. Works out at €4.72 a month.
