Trying to set up a new account through austria but it is looking for an austrian mobile number to send a code to confirm the account, is there any way around this?

I put in my Irish number, selected 353 from the menu. No issues verifying it.

Thank you all for the suggestions and information here.
Here's what worked for me.
Once the account expired logged out of everything including TV
On the laptop opened SurfShark VPN (I have a subscription) then Chrome and checked its showing Turkey
In Chrome logged in Netflix and as soon as logged it asked if I want to renew my subscription.
renewal came up in Turkish Lira
Tried Revolut - nope, "something went wrong"
Revolut Virtual - "something went wrong"
Curve - "something went wrong"
N26 - "something went wrong"
BOI debit - Yay. renewal worked.
Afterwards I have changed the prefered card to Revolut so hopefully, it will work with Revolut next month.
It's such a random dip, everyone seems to have a different experience. What worked for some is no go for others. ..

So I did almost exactly this, only I had updated my payment method a few months back to Irish debit card that still has the guts of 2 years left on it, and had paid a number of Irish monthly subs on this (ouch..)
Opened MS Edge in Incognito (no VPN)
Signed in, hit restart membership (Irish)
Started Proton VPN on Turkey (no issues)
Refreshed browser and now saw Turkish prices
Selected my 'Ultimate' plan
Signed up no issues, and I see the payment on my bank statement and netflix payment history

After that, still on VPN, I tried adding Revolut as backup payment method (physical card) - no joy
Closed VPN and tried Revolut, no joy
Tomorow evening (waiting 24 hours) will try Revolut virtual
But even if that doesn't work, I seem to be good on TL rates using my debit card, so that's fine, I'll fight this fight in 2 years again if I need to (and perhaps load up some TL gift cards before that expires as a buffer!)

Success, happy camper, thanks to th smart folks who figured this out!

Just an FYI. When my sub expired I couldn't sign out of all devices as is noted in most guides here but there was no issue with signing up via Turkey. I did sign out on the device I was renewing on but I had 3 or 4 still logged in, though not viewing anything at the time.

Thank you for this! I made sure to sign out of everything on my last day of my Irish sub!!

I used PureVPN and got my Turkish prices. Everything was going swimmingly until I got to the payment. I tried about 6 cards from 2 different providers - no luck. Finally, I purchased a 100 TL gift card from G2A and used that. It's working for now. I have Revolut as the backup payment method and hopefully that will work in two months time.

Let me sub expire, signed out, tried Private Internet Access and PureVPN but getting the message about issue with card: Revolut, N26 and Ulster Bank.

Maybe this is a stupid question but how do you add the TL gift card to your acct?
When I log on it looks to restart my membership and then once I pick my plan it goes to payment details but I can’t see where to add the TL card. I am doing this using the safari browser and on an ipad

Ok tried that but still won’t accept Revolut Virtual Card, no VPN on...

Same here, refuses to take my Revolut, virtual or physical. It seems pretty hit and miss on Revolut, it works for some, not for others, and for a few it fails a few times before accepting, seems pretty random, keep trying from time to time I guess. I still don't have my Revolut on here but thankfully had gotten my Irish debit card working months before switching (had to go via customer service to do that though, as it wouldn't even take that at the time... Scared to change now but the card is good for a bit thankfully)

Hi All,

Folowed post 1 step by step, VPN set for Turkey, see Turkish prices, had my revolut card as payment card past month, went to renew today and wouldnt accept revolut card, tried virtual revolut, BOI visa debit, and Curve card, all rejected.

Any advice? best to try another day?

We're you signed out of all login?
Irish phone number updated?
Did you use VPN unlimited/Keep solid? Talk of other VPNs being leaky.

I did the same (up & running by buying a G2A gift card) but couldn't get it to accept Revo as backup payment method - how did you do this ?

Should..they have not increased prices in Ireland have they ?

EDIT : Irish prices are 17.99 for top plan

Irish increased too. The Turks won't take price increases too kindly. Still dirt cheap compared to Ireland.

Hallelujah,
In the past, I had followed instructions to the letter, had used Nord, Surfshark, Hola etc all failed. Didn't change any payment details, just tried there now, with the free one from Bargain alerts - seed4me

All sorted in seconds £3.68 (€4.23) taken from my Curve card.

Since moving to Turkey last week, I've noticed that my payment methods now include "Troy", which upon research, turns out to be Turkish Debit/Credit/Prepaid card (much like Laser was to us a few years back).
Does this mean that in order to change my payment method when my current card expires, I have to either get a Turkish card, or go back to Ireland sub, add new card, or resort to gift cards?

I have been with Netflix since 2013, back when Irish subs were 6.99 (checked my email history, got a shock!), and had zero luck doing that on Irish sub in past year when I wanted to move off PayPal and onto my card in preparation for switching to Turkey. Tried Revolut and 2 different Irish bank visa debit cards while on Irish sub - eventually had to get customer service involved, they sent me a payment capture form, and only that ever worked. Last week was the first time I've ever been able to move off the Irish sub successfully.

I gave up trying to get a card onto the acct and just bought a couple of 100 TL gift cards at €13.88 each which still works out at around €7’ish for the month so nearly €11 per month cheaper. Covered till end of Sept and hopefully will have card on acct before then

So, I went through the steps a few days ago. I used a VPN was able to get the Turkish prices however I was unable to add any card to the account. I tried a few Revolut cards plus some Irish bank cards and no luck.

So I got a Netflix gift card and that worked fine. In the meantime, I've been trying to add a standard payment card for the backup payment method in the hope that when the gift card runs out the Revolut card will kick in. But I'm still getting an error saying there is a problem with the payment method. I've tried to do it with VPN off and VPN on. I've tried PureVPN and Seed4Me.

Am I missing any steps here?

Nope, it is the exact same issue that a lot of us are having. See my post above, I gave up and bought a couple of TL gift cards and added them to my acct which will take me up to September at current prices.

Added a backup Curve card to my account this morning with no problems, no vpn required.
