I never understood the logics behind reasoning with digital service being offered at such drastically different prices. This is exhausting to imagine we're being screwed over every time.
Because people just bend over and take it.
Where I currently live my Health Insurance is $40 a month and it covers every doctor visit for free, most common dental services for about $10ish each.
My internet bill is $30 a month for Fiber 1gig ethernet connection
My phone bill is $7 with unlimited calls and texts, 60gig of data@4gCan't wait for these prices to reach Australia already, absolutely ridiculous.
And where is this?
Australian phone prices are actually fairly reasonable we get for $30/$40aud what they get inn North America for $100+usd
Australian phone prices are actually fairly reasonable we get for $30/$40aud what they get inn North America for $100+usd
Better than the US does not necessarily mean "reasonable". Case in point:
My phone bill is $7 with unlimited calls and texts, 60gig of data@4g
I pay $15/month for the same calls & texts but only 3gig of data. And my plan would be considered on the cheaper end of things.
@Chandler: that's painful
if it makes you feel any better, my apartment costs 1.5M AUD , but if compared to Australian standards you could buy it for $300,000-$500,000
We don't have a gym or a pool, not a uniquely big apartment or balcony.
Its still a "better than most" apartment, but there are betters, and this is not considered "expensive"…That's our Achilles :P
oh, and cars are super expensive starting at 45K AUD ish brand new for a decent car (not some weird 0 protection chinese crap)
and ontop of all that sweetness, our minimum wage is $2,500aud a month :) (which is pretty sh!t…)
@The Milk Man: I get it. My guess is that you live in Singapore.
BTW, you won't be able to buy even the tiniest apartment in any big AU city for $300-$500K. Those times are gone…
@Nand0sx: I currently reside in Israel, unfortunately, lol.
Will be back in Aus in no time tho.I mean, meh!
Here's 5G package for $20 a month
unlimited calls
unimilted texts
500gb data
300 minutes abroad to cellular devicesIt starts at $20 and could be cheaper if you buy more than one line (family or w/e)
This was the first result, as an Ad on Google. There's probably better, cheaper.
But this is what I mean by inflated and ridiculous :P
@The Milk Man: Yeah but you guys get screwed by McDonald's. Haha
https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_price_rankings…
Not great loss there though
@bob19: Forced? oh god 😂
No no, Lol. We willingly went to get our Pfizer jabs, alongside other 5.3M or so citizens
Where?
Simple business logic. Price to what each region will bare, not cost + x% flat rate.
Whether it works in practice is a separate technical question!
Yeah, but that's the part that pisses me off. Instead of setting base rate and adjusting it according to Tax per Region , they're inflating prices.
Lets say Australia, it has Great minimum wages, so yeah, people have spare money??? lets charge them more! weee!!!…It's a bit more complicated than that. They can't be making money selling the product at this price point. So, rather than shrugging and saying "Meh - Turkish people are too poor to get our service", they offer it at a discount rate to them.
Not even Google could afford to offer everyone this price point. And if everyone starts using a VPN to fake it, Google will end up not discounting to developing nations.
So what's really unfair? That we can afford it?
Let's face it: $25 (instead of $9.35) a year at full-price is affordable to any Australian who needs this service. I do not feel ripped off paying $25 and having my files anywhere and my offsite backups taken care of. If you can't afford $25, then the free tier is probably more than enough for your needs.@Wraith: That's a solid argument, refreshing point of view, you're definitely correct.
Good on you, changed my mind 🙏🏼
or, price it a level that is just below what a competitor would need to price it at to stay afloat. alphabet can throw money at a region until it has an established position. would not be the first time.
.kill the competition
Not necessarily. Lots of thing to consider. It's often more profitable to grow the market rather than under price a competitor. While quite complex, the simple marketing 101 principal is to price as high as the market will bear. I'm sure many tactics (e.g. loss leader products in various regions etc.) come into the mix when considering a global strategy.
Is Brazil the best price of should I check Argentina turkey and Russia
Can you still pay using your Google Credits using this method? I'm guessing no since my YT Premium India is charging my credit card as opposed to my G Play credits.
My Google One is essentially free anyway since I'm doing a good number of Opinion surveys every month.
How do you get more surveys? I get (at best) 2-3 a month now.
Visit more places, I always get one when I go to Bunnings. Also pay with Google Pay, I get a few of those.
enable location history on devices and let google track gps on permissions https://myactivity.google.com/activitycontrols?settings=loca…
Yes you are giving Big Brother some information this way. As they say, Nothing is truly free
did you ever lie or accidentally input a wrong answer? you get somewhat blacklisted. It happened to me once. i got like 2 or so a month for around 5 months so i went onto chat and inquired. they apologised and put me back on…now i get around $3-4 a month which pays for my cloud storage.
I never lie about my location, but I have continually lied about my household, income, gender, age and whether I've given birth to kids.
My virtual profile is that of a divorced 30 year old female with 120k household income with Bachelors degree with 2 children over the age of 10 living in the same household and owns a house with a mortgage. Write this down into your notes so that everytime google asks about your demographics, you can reference it and keep providing a consistent answer.
Remember because google is GDPR compliant you can actually nuke your account and start all over again with a fresh profile. Tap the 3 dots icon to get to the settings menu and delete your account from there.
@scrimshaw: haha thats a good idea and if you only answer one way, who are they to suggest otherwise.
i didnt realise about that last bit…thats really good to know actually.
woolies, coles, bunnings, bigw, jb hifi, dan murphy all seem to pay up…go visit a shopping centre/strip. I got 43c today because I walked past Anaconda and said I didn't enter. Also answer "i prefer not to say" to personal surveys, as they keep trying to trick you into giving the info they already have and paying you for it.
How do you earn credit for doing opinions. I usually do opinions but i am only receiving badges no credit.
Just a heads up this might mess up your Google Play Store profile, meaning you might found yourself cannot download some AU Apps.
For example my Google One profile is in the US, so when I login to Google TV, it takes me to the US play store, and I can’t download apps like ABC Iview, SBS, etc. Eventually had to get a new Google account just for the TV. This also applies to your Android phones.
There's no work around for this, like changing your address or country after signing up?
If using android just grab the apk file somewhere and and you can get any app you want, just make sure it's not infected.
Sadly no, unless you cancel the service and delete the payment profile.
Yep that's what I do with my Indian YouTube premium account. Use that with a spare Aussie Google account to get both. A small inconvenience but worth it.
Yes, can be extremely annoying when you jump cross sites just to get an apk, and hence not recommend for anyone value their time.
hello
could you please kindly provide a little guidelines
cause I have a family group with myself as the "manager" (everyone in AUS)
If I use a spare gmail as a new "manager", I am guessing I have to disband the current family, and form a new family FIRST (with everyone in AUS)????
Then I change location for the new manager to Turkey and subscribe for this google one AFTER???
Will the new google one still work within the new family? (Manager in Turkey and members in AUS)
Please kindly shed some lights here
What I normally do, create another au location account/email and install it as a second account on your phone, and when you need to install au region specific app, go to that account and install it
I'm having the same issue. Installed on my main account but often have to swap account just to install au apps
Debating to set it up on the backup account instead
I havent seen that happen with mine and i have the indian youtube music
Use multiple google accounts
Good post but probably not worth the effort/risk when you can get various 10-20% off Google Play gift cards (Woolworths Rewards, Flybuys, etc.) and if you're really keen, do the Google Opinion Rewards survey thing.
100GB = $25AUD * 15% = $21.25
200GB = $45AUD * 15% = $38.25
2TB = $125AUD * 15% = $106.25What's this? You get 15% off for doing Google Opinion? How do you sign-up?
Sorry, probably should have explained my math. But the 15% is just splitting the difference of the various rates gift cards go for. No discount for Opinions and not factored into the 15% at all.
Link to app: https://surveys.google.com/google-opinion-rewards/
So you can use the discounted Google Play cards to pay for your Google One subscription?
@Trishool: Yep, just looked to double check mine and it says my Primary Payment Method is my Google Play Balance.
Replying to myself because post was updated to Turkey values which are a fair bit cheaper. Probably worth it at those rates.
The problem is once you start using extra cloud storage, you really can’t go back since you created a new need
Google plan all along. Free Google photos weren't gonna last, a lot of users can't live without that now
Even business emails diverted to personal gmail and whole house, work, phones etc… too involved to get out of google ecosystem.
i hate they charge more in Australia but, i should be happy Google doesn't price on a personal basis. I would pay even more than what they charge Lol.
True, once you get fully into any eco system is quite hard to quit especially if it cost money and time to switch.
About 34% off
Turkey works out to be cheaper at 100GB/200GB/2TB A$0.93/ A$1.87/ A$4.67/Month, A$9.35/ A$18.70/ A$46.74/Year if anyone is curious
Thanks
I can update the title to this if you like?Sure, go for it
This is just for cloud storage? Pass
Got a cheaper cloud storage solution?

can you invite an AU profile account into your "Turkish family" ?
I think so, as my Indian YT account has aussie family accounts.hanging off it.
hello, could you please share your guidelines?
I also have family accounts, so I probably have to delete this group and form another group using the spare gmail account as "manager"?any guidelines would be much appreciated.
TIA
I don't remember exactly how i did it.
I used a VPN, I'm not sure if I changed my country to India first (i think I did). Subscribed using 28 degrees card. Every month about $3.50 gets charged.This is for YouTube, not Google One. I have Google One, but that comes out of my Play Store credit and is essentially free each month because of all the surveys.(in fact make money).
Can you pay for a year then change profile back to Aust?
What's the chance of Google disabling account?
anyone try before?
Fairly sure you can switch the country profile once a year, you lose access to the AU store as well as any Google Play balance, rewards, etc. They will be restore when you switch back to the AU profile I think. You cannot invite people in your family with other country profiles.
https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7431675?co=GENI…
Took awhile to get it working.
Had to edit the play store country first
Can only change every 365 days
I was able to get this working.
I deleted my AU profile and then it defaulted to Turkey (wouldn't let me change it in Play Store).
I then purchased through the Google One app and it showed the TRY prices.
I then contacted Google Support through chat and told them I accidentally deleted my AU profile and they re-enabled it within a few minutes so all my history and payments are still there.
Play Store profile still in Turkey, now will have to see if I can get it back to Australia….You can change once per year only
This seems to be working well but some apps not available so need to swap to another account for a few apps
When you invite someone to share, do they also need to have their Google Play store set to the same country?
Hi everyone. Im new to OB and using VPN. Ive just purchased surfshark for 24 months to do this however I cant seem to get this working. Can someone give me more detailed instructions on how to get this offer with Turkish pricing? Many thanks in advance!!
You need to update both your play store on phone and your Google account details on laptop.
Check my or someone's instructions

sorry i am just 1 person so not sure if the family influences it or not.
I did mine awhile ago but will check my notes tomorrow.
I just remember there are two locations you need to change to turkey. One is play store and the other is Google account address or settings.
Need both
@AussieMark: Thank you for the reply
I am guessing "play store" is done through the phone, and the other is done through laptop?
BTW which VPN did you use, I have surfshark, checked myip.com says I am in turkey, but when going to one.google.com/about/plans, it displays bosinian currency BAM (damn)
I haven't done anything yet, I can't risk messing up my own gmail account and family group…. doing more research before executing lol
@coderedv: yes had to do play store on the phone and other on laptop
I used Nord VPN
You might have to test it on a secondary account
or ask support. I have my main set to turkey but it is quite annoying having to swap profiles evreytime i want to download a AU specific app that is not available in turkey
@AussieMark: Thank you for your reply
Just a question, did you used a spare gmail to get this deal and did you share it back to your main gmail? (cause that would mean family group)
Did you have issues , like someone asked above, I am also wondering if a Turkey gmail can share to a Aus gmail.
Sorry to keep bothering you, appreciate your experience sharing
@coderedv: can you share any updates as I am in the same boat with a family account already and dont want it to affect the family acc. Thanks in advance!
You can get it for free.
- Download Google Opinion Rewards.
- Complete surveys that come to be rewards with cents.
- Accumulate cents into $$$
- Pay the 100GB Google One subscription with it.
No changing the country…. nothing.
Thanks man. Only took me 23 hours but was worth it. Saved $15
Those that are on 2TB, can you upgrade to 10TB?
How much is 10TB?Did you anyone manage to activate this recently? I created a Turkish payment profile, got the prices in Turkish Lira however none of my credit cards are accepted. Tried Revolut etc. Thanks
After I connect to Turkish VPN, go to one.google.com and then sign into my existing gmail account, it switches to english and $A prices. I've tried creating a new payment profile in Turkey on play.google.com. Any other changes required?
Anyone else had luck?
Updates?
still works, I’ve been on sub since last year
Even with VPN loads US prices for me
Using NordVPN, showing as Euro
You may need to try it on an android device. You won’t need a VPN. Just use the Google one app
I have six payment profiles in Google… how will it know to choose Turkey?
