    I just signed up to India with Nord, same account details etc. Took payment with a BOI CC, do ye think that'll be shut down shortly too?

    Couldn't get India to work for me using cyberghost vpn but Cambodia would without need for sms-9.99 dollars or 9.24 euros for top package, used an aib debit card.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,206 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    Does account sharing with the premium Irish account , so if you had 4/5 people sharing the 20 euro per month so it would work out at 60 quid a year or a bit less ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,423 ✭✭✭StaticNoise


    I'm sure they'll pull you for having it in multiple homes at the same time?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,579 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    I appreciate Netflix can clamp down etc etc but it's very dodgy keeping money for a service not provided. I think that could backfire on them yet.

    Very poor form. I couldn't dispute my payment with Revolut either.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,152 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    I couldn't get Pakistan this late, tired, on my phone after discovering after 10pm it was gone. Started a chat with them and got the same run around as everyone else. Noticed I paid 6.29 for 4K on 8th Feb but managed to get Kenya using the Tunnelbear Free VPN. Windscribe and Tunnel bear didn't have Pakistan so maybe when they find the populations of Kenya, India and Pakistan rise even higher they'll catch us out again.

    For me, switched to Kenyan VPN all via my phone. Paid with exact same Aib Credit card as Turkey and no text needed just approved from AIB app and went through. Temporary hold on my card appears to be €7.14 and that's for the 4K plan after all. Lot better than €20+ for the little we watch. I did not create a new account or use a different email, same email, same card, same users.

    My mother shares my account(I'm very clearly the type of customer Netflix doesn't want) so can't be dealing with her asking what she can't watch the crown or something. Only this evening she asked about who owns her YouTube music account, said that is my Argentinian YouTube account but I don't use that because I've my Spotify "family" instead. Haha, sounds like karma caught up with me.

    Whilst trying to get my Kenyan netflix working. I had my Turkish Prime Video on in the background.

    What we do to save a few quid eh.

    It's so strange how they seem to be spotting and nuking geo dodging accounts lately, a couple of days after sign up, but not refunding the payment that was taken. That is extremely dodgy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,155 ✭✭✭✭Sleeper12


    It's still cheaper than what others are paying for India, even paying using vouchers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,293 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    Result tonight with India!

    Using the Hola VPN browser on my desktop connecting to India, then open Netflix making sure goes to the Netflix India site. Created a new account with a new email address. Selected the package (make sure it's in India Rupee). Select payment type and put in my Curve card number (which is linked to my Revolut card). It then sends a verification to your Curve app and then confirmed payment taken in Curve/Revolut apps.

    Took a bit of trial and error but persisted and got there in the end. Payment went through after the verification @ 649 rupee or just over €7.32 for the full viewing package. Just logged in there and it's working fine. Lets see how long it lasts, got almost 6 years out of the Turkey deal so fingers crossed.

    You'd wonder if some execs sat around a boardroom and thought "if we force them to their own country they'll pay us full whack surely.

    Who is old enough to remember Xtravision? They told people that they couldn't rent a DVD because they brought the last one back late or whatever and people just said "ok, can't be ars-ed so" and just before the company crashed financially they said "all debts will be written off if you all just come back" and if was too late.

    Nearly every Software company considers their financial future(a mix of other elements also of course) and earnings on ARR or MRR , in this case monthly recurring revenue. If you cull tens of thousands of customers that is a problem. Stock is down today for Netflix as it is.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 931 ✭✭✭whosedaddy?


    used nordvpn to connect to india with my existing account.

    didn't accept the revolut card after card verification. bur accepted PTSB debit card.. ah well. 649 rupees. lets see how long that lasts.



  • Registered Users Posts: 223 ✭✭baz9375


    Also had my Turkish account shut down this morning.

    Set up a new Nigerian account tonight!

    Used VPN unlimited to connect to Nigeria on my phone. Signed up using a fresh email address and entered a new card (Irish An Post Mastercard).

    Payment screen then took me to verify by mobile number (Nigerian) - signed up (topping up $10) on sms-man.com to get Nigerian number.

    Confirmation code received to Nigerian number in sms-man dashboard and then entered code on final screen of signup page on phone.

    Success!!! Payment was taken - worked out at €2.63 for Ultra HD plan. Email confirmation of account received.

    Checked Netflix app on Firestick, TV and phone with new account and all working.

    Hopefully I’ll get a little while out of this account

    Probably worthwhile watching through Nigerian VPN once in a while



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭webpal


    I managed to sign up via Mexico but I’m getting errors saying ad region not supported or when I switch on vpn it’s saying to switch it off. Any way around that? Is there a cooling off period or what are the chances of getting money back? Not chancing that for loads of countries



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭webpal


    Also beware of the phishing texts, b’stards have copped already



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,130 ✭✭✭gussieg


    Ahh, and they just took payment a few days ago, and Turkish account gone . Hmmmm.



  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 474 ✭✭TetraSonic55


    My Turkish account was shut down as well.


    Signed up via Kenya (Thanks Berty!) I needed a verification code so I used the PingMe app, cost about 2 or so euro to top up, got verification code and put it in, Paid with my Curve Card no problem. About 4.46 for standard plan.


    It's only myself using the account so no need for the 4K plan. Happy as can be now!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,206 ✭✭✭Roberto_gas


    vpn unlimited is not picking India but US server hence USD prices..try windscribe



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,109 ✭✭✭The Ayatolla


    What Irish card did you get it to work with ?

    Tried my PTSB, N26 and Curve cards but no joy signing up for Nigeria. Was able to get the Nigeria prices shown through VPN Unlimited / KeepSolid.



  • Registered Users Posts: 223 ✭✭baz9375


    An Post debit (Mastercard) worked for me for Nigeria. Had tried Revolut and N26 card but both of these declined.

    Everyone said the same thing about their crackdown on password sharing and subscription numbers (and hence revenue) continues to rise.

    3 Turkish subs = 1 Irish sub. They only need a 1/3 resignup rate to break even. That’s not hard. I’d expect a higher proportion to sign back up.



  • Registered Users Posts: 243 ✭✭Chibs


    Turkey gone for me too. Had it for about 7 years.



  • Registered Users Posts: 9 js2010


    I had Turkey account for last 3 years, canccelled last night. Anyone signing up again using different email/country?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 931 ✭✭✭whosedaddy?


    just have read of the last few pages ...

    your mileage may vary



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 931 ✭✭✭whosedaddy?


    who has copped? Netflix or the mexican cartels;-)



  • Registered Users Posts: 468 ✭✭247music


    Failed all attempts to signup.. got on to chat.. sound lad, but could not get him to open up payment window in the chat.. but he kept saying, just use gift cards. I might give it a go.. So tried turgame and its a bit of a nightmare of a site.. OTP is a bit of a PITA on it.. then made the mistake of verifying my account using my Irish number, now only wire transfer is available for payment. Is this the norm or would more card options be available if using a Turkish number? How does everyone else pay on Turgame?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 356 ✭✭in2dark


    Are you ppl getting email about cancellation of Turkish sub or just doesnt let you login anymore?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,642 ✭✭✭OmegaGene


    You don’t get an email you just get shadow banned for breaking terms and conditions

    The internet isn’t for everyone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,105 ✭✭✭G1032


    It lets you log in but when you try watch something it'll bring you to subscription page.

    India still working this morning in this house. 🤞🤞🤞

    The internet isn’t for everyone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 931 ✭✭✭whosedaddy?


    got no cancellation email or refund. just unsubscribed.

    what id be wary off is subscribing with virtual sms provider. me thinks they will use it to for ongoing comms to confirm your status.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,879 ✭✭✭Simi


    I'd say it's far more likely they'll monitor IP usage and do another blanket sweep in 30 days (or less).

    A guy on Reddit from the UAE was complaining about being dropped from his cheaper Pakistani subscription, so it's not looking good for simply hiding out in another country.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,155 ✭✭✭✭Sleeper12


    Don't use vpn to sign up to True Game. You should see prices in Euro. Use Irish phone number to verify.

    It's worth the effort to set up. €6 per month for Premium 4k Netflix. For Turkey gift cards have been the most straight forward option for the last few years



  • Registered Users Posts: 468 ✭✭247music


    Can't remember if I used a VPN or not.. if I didn't would I have an option to pay in IE card?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 931 ✭✭✭whosedaddy?


    suppose that is a given now. sms is just an extra tool they can use..

    from their T&cs

    4.3. You may access the Netflix content primarily within the country in which you have established your account and only in geographic locations where we offer our service and have licensed such content.

    and another great revenue stream.. allow ppl to sign up and then shadowban them next month just after debiting the sub.. with no comeback on payment.

    Do the 200TL gift cards cover the 229TL premium charge? It would be annoying to have to buy multiple cards for each month.

    Don't really want to load more that a month given the current situation.



  • Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 9,045 Mod ✭✭✭✭Aquos76


    No they don’t, why would they? You would need to my multiple cards.



  • Registered Users Posts: 811 ✭✭✭Rock Paper Scissors


    How did you get around the sms verification for Nigeria?



  • Registered Users Posts: 23 Danmj


    It didn't look for it. Used vpn unlimited turned on to Nigeria open netflix and got Nigerian price. Entered credit card details turned off vpn to verify card details, once verified turn vpn back on to finish setup



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,290 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    For me, my sub comes out beginning of month but not a big loss in that regard.

    My first thought of as my account had been hacked so it's at least a relief in that regard seeing other posts here.

    Tried last night to sign up to Nigeria, turkey and India. India showed in dollars using VPN Unlimited and the revolut didn't work for the other 2. May try with AIB card later, though might get flagged for having small foreign payments taken out. Or may try the turgames route for now.

    Folks, are ye using same account when moving from Turkey or do I need to create new one?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,033 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    ^ Been using my AIB Credit Card for paying for Netflix in Turkey, and India now. Has never been an issue.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,854 ✭✭✭alxmorgan


    PTSB card. Exact same setup as you i.e. VPN unlimited. Luck of the draw I guess



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,100 ✭✭✭gar


    Bah

    Tried that (as in turned off the VPN for credit card)and then it charged me the full irish price and no streaming service in the account now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,579 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    I used the same one.

    Interesting how the chat guy recommended using gift cards. I'll be throwing on a programme every month with a turkish vpn to tick that box.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,853 ✭✭✭bromley52


    It will be re reverted in about 12 hrs. Same thing happened to me yesterday.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11 photovoodoo100


    Just signed into India but left on the VPN when verifying card and it worked accepted with no problems so far



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,161 ✭✭✭Dr_Colossus


    +1, back in Sep 2019 my Turkish Netflix Premium account was cancelled (reason on chat was suspicious activity) but they automatically refunded the prior 2 months of payments made to my Revolut account. Re-signed up to the Standard plan but couldn't get it to accept Revolut so used an AIB credit card which had been working since.

    Also had my Disney Turkish account cancelled after about 5 months into a yearly sub paid upfront (prices had increased a lot from 350 to 650 TRY in interim and suspect that might have been a driving force). That was automatically refunded to Revolut also and signed back up again at the higher price using a fresh email address which is due to expire in Apr.

    I'm still hopeful they're refund payments taken for services not rendered as otherwise it's a very grey area. Like others I have a couple of family members on my plan who use it a lot more than me but waiting a few days to see what if anything transpires or if other new accounts are being shut down.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,642 ✭✭✭OmegaGene


    The internet isn’t for everyone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 356 ✭✭in2dark


    So, my turkish sub has been cancelled. Tried to login and restart it from india. Everything was going smoothly up until the payment menthod, entered revolut and requested verification from card, pressed ok and then "there was a problem with the payment method"


    Im not paying irish prices for this trash that i only keep it for the children


    So anyone else managed to resubscribe?


    My ipvanish vpn has no nigeria


    I wonder what if we manage to subscribe through different country and have always the vpn on while watching. Will this work?
