    If you try your card too much, they effectively block your account sign up for 24 hours. At least that’s what they told me when I switched from Argentina to Turkey a few months back. I just went gift cards for that reason

    As others have posted, my account was shadowbanned today.

    What grates me is that they only took the payment for another month a couple of days ago, was subbing through turkey for 6 quid or whatever. They have been going through some inflation by the way, its increased from a couple of euro in less than 12 months.

    Told the wife I probably wouldn't renew, asked her what we used it for and she said peppa pig lol

    T..T...T...That's all folks!

    Same here with Revolut but avantcard worked no problem. Might be a case of trying cards until one bites ( until they crack down in India too at least)

    Had the exact same problem, so tried it with AIB card, and it worked (someone above said they did it with N26 as Revolut didn't work, but their friend was the opposite, so it seems to be random as to which card will work.....maybe just a different one to what you used previously).

    Yesterday I was watching a show for a bout 2 mins and kept getting errors which never happened ever but I said must be an issue then tried to watch today and got kicked out and Netflix was asking me to subscribe. It was a good ride while it lasted but the kicker is I only last week paid for this month. How will I cancel that payment from Revolut or do they stop taking my Lira now?

    Same as everyone got kicked from my Turkey connection and same for another account I setup for someone else.

    Using VPN can go through the motions but it's the SMS front Turkey that's stopping me completing.

    Anyone any ideas how to get that or another workaround. Not paying €20 a month for Netflix.

    Cheers

    VPN set to Ukraine (using VPN Unlimited), payment with Revolut debit card - €9.99 for Premium plan, no questions asked. Better than Irish rip-off rate.

    you can get temporary website accounts to send verification SMS codes to. Google "receive verification SMS in <country of choice>" and try one of the websites

    This worked for me. I used my Android phone with Winscribe App. For Netflix Payment I kept my card as before. Stayed with Turkey aswell.

    I did use a once-off revolut digital credit card to pay for the SMS service. I wasnt going to put my debit or credit card into that site..

    Thanks a millon.

    Re what library you see being based on where you are or where you sub - short answer is it depends. If you have an EU account then you will have your home country's library when you go anywhere else in EU. So if you have an Irish account and go to spain, you'll still have irish library.

    If you have a non EU account or you travel to a non EU country with an EU account then you'll have the local Netflix.

    I tried that, but any card I tried failed, so it was just easier to set up a new account and start all over again

    Try the sms route with your AiB card. Worked for me.

    https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121812288#Comment_121812288

    Sure

    Using Macbook. Connected to Windscribe VPN in Turkey

    Used Chrome Incognito. Signed into my Netflix account and went to sign up again.

    Entered my Curve card details. I was then asked for a Turkish phone number for Netflix to send vefiication code via SMS

    Created account https://sms-activate.org/en. Topped it up by 1$.

    Go to Activations on https://sms-activate.org/en - select Netflix as service and Turkey as country. Add to cart and buy.

    Enter the number given to you on Netflix and then you should see the verification code appear on https://sms-activate.org/en

    Tried signing back up again with Revolut which I was using but "Problem with your payment" keeps flashing up. Tried with G2A gift card but I'm getting the same message. Logged in via Windscribe VPN.

    Got it working in the end by making a new account. Added Rev card as backup payment. If it doesn’t accept payment from the Rev card when the gift voucher expires I’m done.

    Thanks for this. Unfortunately didn't work. Get through to sms verification with Curve card. I get the verification code but when I input that code on Netflix it tells me there was an error processing card. I was 100% not going to bother with any of this, yet here I am still trying to get back in🙈🤣

    Tried this to reactivate my Turkish account only this time I was using Argentina VPN, used same Revolut card as with Turkey only this time it worked. Got to the SMS verification, used same service as you. All worked. I never realised Netflix premium €10 in Argentina at the moment:(

    well, better than €20 anyway

    Got it to work with my PTSB debit card.

    used an incognito tab and a new gmail account.

    VPN off, and signed up with new email address.

    Went through to select the plan, and tot he screen where you select you payment method, and stayed there

    Turned on VPN to India, clicked the browser back button twice to return to the plan selection screen, which will now show the plan in rupees

    Selected to 499 rupee plan

    Then clicked the next or continue button to go back to payment selection screen

    Keyed in my PTSB Debit card, then asked to validate via the bank app, did that and it accepted it.

    Was then brought to a screen and asked to enter a phone number, I just ignored it.

    Signed in on netflix app and its all good for now !

    I ended up just buying the Netflix gift vouchers loading them up on the account as it kept blocking trying to add Irish bank card and prompting for turkey mobile number.

    It looks like I might just need to add Turkish Netflix vouchers going forward.

    Windscribe. India. Getting through to card verification. Confirmed card on Revolut. Then get the 'appears to be a problem with payment method..... '

    Same with Curve

    And same with N26

    Edit. BOI debit card worked

    this worked for me using expressvpn (pick india via singapore for the server - signup for their annual plan and you get 7 days free. if you cancel within 7 days you wont be charged) and a curve card

    did not work with windscribe or solid vpn (aka vpn unlimited)

    did not work with n26 physical card or revolut virtual card

    no sms verify required. the only suggestion of sms was if i wanted to add a recovery phone number which i did not.

    it cost me 7.25eur (649 indian) it would seem

    How does this work in Ireland since we don't have ads? €25 for Sky TV and Netflix, even if you have access to the TV channels by other means, is not as bad relatively speaking.

    I was cancelled today. It was working last night. I was subscribed in Turkey for at least a year and a half.

    I spoke with the Live Chat in a bid to try and update my card details directly. It was pleasant and structured at the start - I was informed my account was cancelled to "protect members against unauthorized charges" and that they "sometimes cancel accounts that show signs of unusual activity". I played dumb and said that I hope my revised card would solve the issue.

    The tone changed.

    "Your account is cancelled"

    Why?

    "We have noticed the activity on your account does not match the same & this activity is not aligned with the practices to the country you are in".


    "Do not use this account. Do not keep anything linked to this account."

    The agent knew what was going on as well as me, and this was clear from how they phrased things outside of the stock answers.


    I'll be fine, and I've other ways of getting media, but my parents are big users and it's hard to justify the large monthly cost for the service. Convenience over quality. And that's now €8.99 paid tonight for the basic service for them - 720p only.

    Seen the same stats on a couple of websites re netflix prices, that Ireland is the 4th most expensive country in the world for Netflix subscription. Nuts money here. It's not within an asses roar of being even nearly worth it.
