    I have never seen this fee charged to me, perhaps its blended into the transaction amount.

    Some banks (KBC) break this out on to a separate transaction line item, some (AIB) bake it into the transaction, which is worse because it's not clear exactly what you're being charged for the FX exchange. More info is always better than less info or at least having to go digging for the info.

    Cancelled fine, VPN sign up fine but then I can't pay - KBC card not working, Ulster Bank card not working, N26 not working.

    Any ideas?

    Was a payment card not set up before you cancelled?

    Installed Speedify VPN and picked Turkey
    Logged on to my a/c and picked the sub with 4 users and UHD etc
    VPN is now off and everything is good.

    Originally I had signed up using Irish credit card, I tried changing to Revolut but NF didn't accept that. It would have cost me 5.70 with Revolut but it cost me 5.87 with AIB credit card so not a big deal.

    Thanks lads for all your help.

    Just on the VPN, that's a paid VPN? I have ipvanish but it doesn't have a Turkish server.

    No, its a free one and Turkey is on it. Sometime you get an error "Sever at full capacity" but if you keep trying you get thru it. Perhaps all the boardsies were trying to connect at the same time :)

    There's always the exitnodes trick in tor browser? https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=110498236&postcount=1963

    So... I know this is a Netflix thread but wondering if there's a similar... Loophole for Disney. Plus?

    Disney+ allows 4 screens simultaneously to play, so in theory you could spilt the cost 4 ways and give each person the log in! As long as someone doesn't put it on all their kids phones there shouldn't be a problem!
    I was thinking to create an email address for this purpose and maybe spilt it 2 ways, giving 2 screens each and paying €35 a year seems reasonable!!
    Not sure of any other work arounds!

    I starting doing this got as far the screen looking for an Indian mobile for SMS confirmation and meant to get back later when I found a workaround.
    Forgot about since but those services do exist I might continue the research tonight....

    Has Netflix blocked all revolut cards because the virtual card feature would have been abused for frer monthly subs ?

    I would typically get a free trial once a year or so and it seemed not to be accepting either mine or my partner's Revolut.

    I have a proxy app called Tunnelbear on my phone. I found a lot of harmless but informative webpages and news stories my friends could see in the USA and elsewhere were blocked by the EU. Tunnelbear gives a few hundred megabytes of free data per month without having to pay anything and you can choose where you want to route your traffic through.. Before I would toggle it on and off to see what was blocked. Ive been using it for around 8 years.
    Now I think it may be useful to register Netflix .

    I used Tunnelbear back when i set up my Turkish Netflix account almost 2 years ago. I pay with Revolut. Never had an issue, hopefully i wont run into any in the future.

    So I signed up for netflix and cancelled.
    I went to the Turkey site and logged in and re-enabled my account.

    It still had my payment amount in euro even though im on the Turkish Netflix.
    Do I have to wait the month til it expires, or remove my credit card and add it back in, or even make a new account?


    Sorry for being a pain. Thanks.

    You have to use a VPN and wait until it's expired to see the different plans in Turkish money

    got it working myself after a few failed attempts. after account expiration

    as per instructions on 26.01.2020 by redriddick

    'Download tor, install and run once. Browse to the location where windows installed tor. Find the file torcc and open with notepad. Add the line exitnodes {ar} and save. Open tor and go to Netflix and log in using your details. 're start your sub and your set'

    on mac torcc is on ~/Library/Application\ Support/TorBrowser-Data/Tor/torrc

    Other people have reported success using vpns so you can try that instead of using tor browers if you like
    see bbari 08.04.20 comment

    speedify is free

    In my case after using tor , signing up for argentenian netflix, inputting my transferwise card details in the last step i was asked to input my argentenian mobile number to confirm an activation code.
    I did this using smspva.com , details from keano25 on 30.03.20

    'Couldn't sign up through Turkey no matter what VPN I tried so got it via Brazilian VPN. For anyone interested and doesn't want the read back for a few hours..

    VPN Brazil

    Sign up and enter bank details for Revolut card etc..

    They'll ask for a phone number, go to smspva.com and get a virtual Brazilian phone number it costs .50c.

    Netflix text the code to that number, input the code when asked.

    Done.

    You can now use your Irish number as recovery phone number.

    €8.15 for Brazilian Netflix.

    smspva can be a bit confusing, in my case i added 2$ to my account balance. then selected country agrentina and then clicked on netflix option torwards the bottom of the page. that game me a number i could tell netflix to send it to. After inputting it into netflix i got the activation code on snspva a few seconds later that i input back into netflix and i was all set.

    phew

    hope that is helpful to others.

    Turkish top package is only €5.84 this month though. There's cheaper than Brazil. I know it's cheaper than here but if you kept at it you could have got it down even further.

    good point, was going for turkish, but smspva don't seem to have an option for turkish mobile numbers so went with argentenian. happy enough.
