How iCloud+ works
iCloud+ is Apple’s premium cloud subscription service. It gives you more storage for your photos, files and backups, as well as additional features including iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email and HomeKit Secure Video support.*

While other subscriptions can't be shared with an overseas account, iCloud+ can be shared with an overseas account via Family sharing

How to get access:

Follow the onscreen steps. In the mobile number section use your Australian mobile number (Very important to use a valid number or risk losing your ID). Choose country as Turkey. Then follow through the rest to create your ID. Login into Apple ID on a browser. Go to this link to enter a Turkish address to your Turkish Apple ID, select payment method as none and save.

  • Go to Settings on your iPhone/iPad > Your Name > Media and Purchases > Log out from your current ID and login with your Turkish Apple ID

  • Buy TL iTunes gift cards (Make sure you only buy Turkish ones, only comes in 25 TRY and 50 TRY denominations) from TurGame > Choose currency as TL/TRY and pay with international transaction fee free card.

  • Redeem iTunes gift cards by going to App Store > Account (located at right top corner) > Redeem gift cards or code.

  • Sign up to iCloud+ via settings or by clicking on this link from an Apple device.

  • While logged in using Turkey ID start Family Sharing group and invite your AU account. Make sure you add iCloud+ to sharing with family.

  • Logout from Turkey Apple ID and login back with AU Apple ID.

  • Accept Family sharing request and enjoy iCloud+

(Australian iCloud+ monthly subscription costs: 50 GB: A$1.49, 200 GB: A$4.49, 2 TB: A$14.99)

    works great! thanks :)

    • yametekudasai on 15/07/2022 - 18:32

      May I ask how did you verify your account when using the gift card as payment methods?

      • nismo322 on 17/07/2022 - 21:39

        I'm not sure if this will be helpful to you, but I actually created a Turkish iCloud on a spare phone I have (with a different sim that I use for promos). My aus details (including the phone number) were enough to verify that icloud account for gift card payments!

    I haven’t tried this but we may also be able to subscribe to Disney Plus using our Turkish Apple ID.

    Download Disney Plus App using Turkish Apple ID. Switch VPN to Turkey. Subscribe via Disney Plus App. It should deduct gift card balance from your Turkish Apple ID. Pay for one year.

    I have redeemed a 100 TL gift card in my Turkey Apple ID. But whenever I am trying to upgrade I am getting verification required. I have added a Turkey address all good there. Then I go to choose Payment Methoed as Apple ID which has a balance of 100 TL.

    I am only getting an option to Redeem or Add Funds.
    Please can anyone assist with this.

      No reason, as long as they all have a Turkish Apple ID and don’t try to sign in on same device as their primary AU Apple ID.

    I’m facing some issue here…

    AU organiser invite TR account success. Tr account has iCloud plus via turgame.

    I sign up music in tr account and can share successful from tr point of view. But AU account can’t see the music sharing… is that normal?

    So I use another phone and set up another TR account in an attempt to see if music is region lock. But this time, This new tr account is unable to join AU invite. Reason stated is wrong region. I tried every solution possible listed by every one and still have the same error.

    Any advice?

      It’s in description

      While other subscriptions can't be shared with an overseas account, iCloud+ can be shared with an overseas account via Family sharing

      You can only family share iCloud plus and nothing else

      • 1a2a3a1q2s3c on 31/07/2022 - 10:05

        Ok… so let’s forget about the tr Apple Music.

        I’m curious to know why I can’t add the 2nd tr account into the AU family sharing? Is it because this 2nd tr does not have iCloud + activated beforehand?

        I can’t really recall for my first tr account how I go about doing it.

  • 1a2a3a1q2s3c on 31/07/2022 - 10:39

    Quick thought - if you use au account and invite tr in… you turn on purchase sharing and authorise the card to be use on the au account, will this make the iCloud plan to be paid via the card on the au account with tr prices? Hmmmm….

    • Pricebeat on 31/07/2022 - 15:47

      It will still ask you for Turkish payment method. I tried a couple of months ago.

      • 1a2a3a1q2s3c on 31/07/2022 - 20:13

        Thanks. Just 1 more question, I sign up 50gb on tr acc to try it out. Now I’m ready to do the 2tb. If I were to upgrade now, how does it billing work?

        Will they charge me 64.99 from today and pro rate the 6.49? Or will they just disregard my 6.49 and charge a brand new 64.99?

  • 1a2a3a1q2s3c on 01/08/2022 - 09:51

    But your pro rate was on the au account cancelling the plan. I’m asking about the upgrade in tr acc

    • Jit0809 on 01/08/2022 - 09:52

      you will get prorata refund for the 50GB based on the days left, might even be a full refund if you used it only for a few days and the new plan will start from today.

    • Pricebeat on 02/08/2022 - 00:29

      Sign up to Wise or Revolut. Use single use virtual card. Also, it’s safer than inputing your physical card details.

      • Tightmike on 03/08/2022 - 11:12

        Thanks, I’ll give it a go.

        • Pricebeat on 03/08/2022 - 12:02

          With wise you will have to pay initial $10 to get a physical card first. Revolut is free.

      • KeplersLaws on 06/08/2022 - 15:33

        thanks for the tip re. revolut and this post.
        gosh, the turgame website might be reputable but I was on edge the whole time. payment via revolut seems to have gone through.
        too bad revolute itself doesn't work with apple turkey.

          Apple uses the credit card country detection method and cards produced with Revolut all have Australian digits. So it doesn’t work.

          • KeplersLaws on 07/08/2022 - 18:08

            @Pricebeat: Yup.

            Side note, I wish I had a burner device to use my Turkish id on a 24/7 basis. Switching sucks. Seems to reset my HomeKit device settings as well as remove my bank cards from my wallet.

                • Pricebeat on 07/08/2022 - 18:22

                  @KeplersLaws: You don’t need to switch whole ID. Just logout of media and purchases under icloud and sign in with Turkish ID under media and purchases or use iTunes on desktop

                  • KeplersLaws on 07/08/2022 - 18:36

                    @Pricebeat: oh I see! so this is not my whole iPhone Apple ID (aka don't do the red 'sign out' all the way at the bottom) but instead only the Media and purchase ID - which I think is App Store, tv, music and iCloud… right?

    Thanks for this, all worked. Question: I originally had a 200gb account which now that I am a family member of the 2tb plan, I cant go in and downgrade back to 5gb. Will I automatically be removed from my 200gb monthly subscription or do I need to manually do it?

      If a family member is already paying for their own iCloud+ plan, they can choose to switch to your plan or keep their own and still remain a part of the family. When they switch to the shared family plan, they will get a refund for the remainder of their personal plan. They can't keep their current plan and use the shared family plan at the same time.

    Whenever I click the link
    Sign up to iCloud+ via settings or by clicking on this link(icq.icloud.com) from an Apple device.
    It shows my primary apple ID storage upgrade options in AUD.

    It does not show the TRA prices of the storage. So iCloud is still showing my primary IDs storage plan. And yes I have signed in media and subscription with the Turkish Apple ID.

      Unfortunately iCloud isn’t linked to media and purchases so you will have to sign out the whole ID or try on desktop iTunes. I will try to edit post and clarify that

    • huhuu77 on 14/08/2022 - 22:31

      Same here.

      I tried to sign out iCloud, but stuck on removing the iCloud data, even I restart iPhone again and again.

  • Sarquiss on 15/08/2022 - 11:25

    I was finally able to purchase the gift cards through Turgame - The payment method kept failing for some reason when I used the first open - GPAY but it went through once I selected PAYTR.

    Just waiting for the codes to be delivered. I've also signed into the secondary device using the new account - Assuming I just have to add the codes to my App store account and then upgrade my icloud storage? No VPN etc is needed?

    • Pricebeat on 15/08/2022 - 16:03

      No VPN needed but you will gave sign out of iCloud if you are doing it on iPhone and that may remove your apple wallet cards etc

      • Sarquiss on 15/08/2022 - 17:42

        Thanks Pricebeat - I've already done that. Just waiting for my order to be finalised. It's been "Processing" for a few hours now.

  • Sarquiss on 16/08/2022 - 01:09

    Finally had my order processed. I’ve successfully redeemed the codes and upgraded the storage on my new Turkish account.

    I have then invited the Turkish account to the existing family, which also worked. I’ve downgraded my existing iCloud+ subscription but will need to wait until the 18th for it to finish up - I assume that once this happens the storage from the Turkish account will be automatically shared

    • Pricebeat on 16/08/2022 - 09:53

      Each account will have to accept the iCloud plus family sharing and your AU iCloud plus will get refunded at pro rata rate.

      • Sarquiss on 16/08/2022 - 11:36

        Could you elaborate? I didn’t see any option to cancel the existing iCloud+ and get a refund.

        To provide more info, I have an existing family share organised by my AU account - I’ve added the Turkey account to the existing family share. My AU account did have iCloud+ but I’ve downgraded that to the free tier and I got a message saying that my subscription would be updated at the next renewal date - 18/08/2022.

        Once I go back to the free tier, how do I accept the storage from the Turkey account?

  • adnan on 25/09/2022 - 20:28

    Hi guys, need some advice which I couldn’t find reading all the posts here.
    I have created TR account and set it up as organiser, removed my existing family members from my AU account, and added everyone to the TR account including my AU account, upgraded to 2Tb cloud plus.
    Now when I want to activate family share for purchase from my Au account , it asks me to request the organiser to activate the family share . So I went to the Tr account to activate the family share for purchases, it asks me to add credit card details otherwise it will not go forward.

    When I try to add my Au credit card details, it does not accept!
    I have many app purchases and subscriptions with my Au account which I am unable to share now to the family group as I am not the organiser. The organiser Tr account can not activate family share feature without a credit card, and it doesn’t accept any of credit card.

    How to resolve this issue?

        Yeah, I initially chose 'none' on computer browser but when I went through app store on phone, it kept telling me to put in a payment method.

            Have you tried restarting the phone? I had a problem where even though I was signed in with Turkey profile, it was displaying AUD on icloud+

            For the verify payment options, I remember it asks for the credit card (which has to be turkish, I tried entering a AUD debit card and didn't work) or the +90 mobile option. I think I just kept refreshing as in going back and forth on the payment screen - sorry, it's hard to explain.

    Now I have my Turkey price Apple Cloud+.

  • mick01 on 09/01/2023 - 15:30

    Finally got around to setting this up. Few things I noted that were different for me (or possibly have changed since the deal was posted).

    1. I wasn't able to pay for the iTunes gift cards from Turgame with Turkish Lira, it only had the option of paying with Euros; but still worked out to be ~$5.50 a month for 2TB.
    2. When I tried to upgrade the iCloud storage on my Turkish AppleID it was inisting I enter a payment method (i.e credit card details) even though I had already redeemed the iTunes gift cards so had plenty of funds in my iTunes account to cover the payment. The way I got around this was to do the iCloud upgrade on my MacBook rather than on my iPhone.
    3. I didn't have to set up a new family group. I simply invited the Turkish AppleID to my existing family group and then sent invites from my Turkish AppleID to share just the iCloud storage. When I accepted those invitations on the Australian AppleIDs it asked me if I wanted to cancel my existing iCloud subscription, which I did.

    Now it's all working I can buy more Turkish iTunes gift cards. How many months worth are people buying at a time? I guess there's a risk you'll be stuck with them if Apple shuts down this hack.

    • fiveferrari on 11/01/2023 - 10:18

      The saving is around 9$ a month using this method. I bought 6 months and this is my 3rd month. So saving is already around 27$.

    For anyone that haven't been able to add TR account to your existing AU family sharing account. Try sending the invite via AirDrop.

    You'll need two Apple devices, eg iPhone signed in using AU account and Mac signed in using TR account.
    On your iPhone select to add family member and send invite via AirDrop. This will open a Mac system menu to confirm you wand to join the existing AU family.
