Too good a deal not to repost for those unaware you can access YouTube premium at a fraction of the price it normally costs. The stronger exchange rate means even lower monthly rates than last time. Also doweyy suggested in a previous post you can get it even cheaper as a student (certainly worth a shot). Instructions are a direct copy paste from previous deals so kudos to the OPs. Stay safe, and enjoy :)

Google has finally launched YouTube Premium in India for INR 129 and Family Membership for INR 189.
Comes with YouTube Music, No Ads in YouTube as well as Google Play Music.

https://india.googleblog.com/2019/03/introducing-youtube-mus…

Youtube Premium will give you access to -
• Ad-free videos: Watch videos without interruptions.
• Save offline: Save videos and songs on your mobile device to watch offline.
• Background play: Keep videos or music playing when using other apps or when your screen’s off.
• Audio mode: Listen to audio only on the YouTube Music app.
• Google Play Music Subscription (when available in your country) is included at no additional cost.

Current pricing is $14.99 per month in Australia. This workaround should work for new and existing customers.

Again, the trick to making this work is having access to a VPN service. If you're signed up to one, then the rest of the process should be fairly simple.

Instructions -
1. Connect a VPN to the server India (I connected to Bangalore).
2. Click on Paid Memberships (youtube.com), then click on Learn more.
https://www.youtube.com/paid_memberships

Enter Indian address and pay by credit card.
Termination takes place under this link (music.youtube.com)
Example of an address in India:

India
Name: Blank
Address line: My Place
Town/City: Mumbai
Postcode: 400070
State: Maharashtra

Entertainment Music Streaming Video on Demand YouTube

      Windscribe has a "Build A Plan" option where you can select 2 premium locations for $2 a month.
      I used that to add India to my VPN location list. Works well, also to access other India-based sites, that are otherwise geo-blocked.

        all good now - used NordVPN which has India in its list. First week is free so will cancel the subscription soon.

        Somehow i was getting AED and not INR prices when i selected India.
        I have to choose server#63 and then i was able to see INR prices.

    I just tried it, and I could join the family account to YouTube Premium, but I couldn't add my account as it says the family manager is in another country.

    How do you change the country of the family manager?

    • clanton on 21/10/2020 - 16:59

      Were you adding the family member while you had the VPN on?

      How do you verify you’re a student? I’m not a student but would like it even cheaper.

      • ven041 on 23/10/2020 - 10:29

        You'd need to verify by providing an email with a .edu format I think. Also note I was on the student plan for Australian Premium before I switched over to India

  • justanick on 21/10/2020 - 10:47

        • darkness on 21/10/2020 - 12:01

          Something to try is to remove the google payments profile from the account you're trying to add, create a new one at the same country as the family manager, and try to add again. If successful, add a new payments profile for Australia, and set up google pay again. I haven't tried it as the warning says you'd lose any balance remaining in google payments, ie. Google survey rewards.

          • dysfunktional on 23/10/2020 - 00:18

            @darkness: Thanks for this! I removed my current payment profile and created a new "indian" one and it worked perfectly after trying other methods for a couple hours.
            Note to anyone else doing this: you will lose your Google pay balance. All your subscriptions will be cancelled.

    • becool on 21/10/2020 - 13:55

      Same here.
      The only way to do it is to create your family group and join all your members first with the AU trial subscription before switch to India one. That how I did it and have 3 members in my group work ok. Cannot add anymore member after that

  • roberttimmms on 21/10/2020 - 10:58

    As someone who already has YouTube Premium on my Aus account, what's the best way to transition over to the Indian payment plan? Do I have to create a separate account to use or something, or can I cancel my subscription, do the whole VPN thing, and then change my country back to Aus after it's all done?

  • this is us on 21/10/2020 - 11:13

    I've been using the Family Indian account for a while now. I don't know what I have done, but my recommendations are based on my previous AU profile, not Indian content. I've been a Google Play Music Youtube Premium subscriber for years, so maybe I have enough likes and playlists for Google to know my taste.

    I used the Urban Free VPN extension (Edge) to change the payment profiles. I keep the Indian payment as my primary, and all family members have the same primary address (India). Google says somewhere on the website they can check the address every 30 days and exclude unmatched users.

    On Google Play, I have this Indian account, and other two AU and US accounts as some apps are restricted by country. What I've noticed is that many other apps and subscriptions are cheaper when bought using the Indian account. Quick example: TrueCaller in India is IRN 529/year (around AUD 10).

    • mortaloreo on 21/10/2020 - 15:54

      How do you add your credit card to an Indian payment profile though? I can't seem to get it to verify with my "Indian" address

        From the looks of things, it doesn't look like you are properly connected to Argentina via VPN. Otherwise, currency should should in ARS (Argentine Pesos)

        Which VPN are you using?

        • sween64 on 21/10/2020 - 19:22

      It's Google. If they wanted to sell Ur details, they would've done it around the world, not just in India…(and maybe they already have, but that's a different matter, not a country thing)

      I hope you're trolling, coz that's a very uneducated comment.

  • plentifoo on 21/10/2020 - 13:31
    +1

    Greet deal but be careful. My google play store is now stuck in India - and apparently u can only change it once a year. If you get the family account, you'll discover that you will have to delete Ur members' existing payment profiles (if they already have one set up) in order for this to work, otherwise you'll encounter an error stating you are in different countries.

    And when you create an Indian payment profile, this changes most of Ur google location settings to India - and all Google apps that has payments associated with it.

    On hindsight, I would've created an Australian payment profile immediately for myself and the members in my family group after ive successfully signed up for premium so my location stays in Aus.

    • this is us on 21/10/2020 - 14:10

      Primary payment profile for all members must be Indian, and you should use a VPN while making the changes. That's it.

      • derdew on 21/10/2020 - 15:36

        somethings borked. I'm gonna try again. I have 5 real people in my family, all set to an Australian account. I plan to create a 6th member/new account, and add them to the family. then that new member will set up an Indian youtube account. will that work for everyone?

        • plentifoo on 21/10/2020 - 16:02

          No this wouldn't work. You basically have to login to each members google account associated with their YouTube account and delete any semblance of an Australia payment profile. Then create one based in India while on a vpn set to India.

          It's a pretty cumbersome process but well worth it because of the savings. That said, please refer to my post above yours in regards to country settings - if you're not careful you may end up affecting all other google apps that require a payment profile. Eg play store. Bought a new phone and I can't even download Australian bank or finance apps.

          • derdew on 21/10/2020 - 18:42

            @plentifoo: hmmm bugger! thank you, but I think I'm probably screwed!!

            I need to continue my Ozzie account as I have a google nest subscription for cameras/ doorbell- I don't want to stuff that up by deleting payments (even though they are just annual).

            I'd really like this as I have a multitude of google speakers that all of us like listening to music on. I might have to create a whole new family in India only in order to not mess up my Ozzie stuff.

            unless anyone has any other ideas?

            thanks again!

      • mortaloreo on 21/10/2020 - 15:51

        How do you add an Australian credit card to pay for it on an Indian payment profile though?

        YouTube keeps asking for card details and location of billing address is perma set to India so the card doesn't verify

        • plentifoo on 21/10/2020 - 16:05

          Pretty sure they don't check billing address against your credit card details. Never have for me. Doesn't make sense if you wanna use an Australian Amex if you were on holiday in India. Same concept applies to visa and mastercard.
