3120

* 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.


Not all prices in the table below will be the same, these prices are obtained from the app store page and not actually tested. You can check the actual price by logging into apps and trying to sign up before buying gift cards for your purchases (If the price in app is higher than what is shown below, restart your app and phone to see if it changes). Follow this hack to get the cheapest price possible. Credit to doweyy for putting it all in a table format.

    If anyone runs into any variances with the prices for the subs in the OP, please let me know and I can update the table, we sourced the data from Apple IAP's and wasn't able to test them all :)

    • Not sure if i'm doing something wrong but Sleep Cycle premium annual seems to be ₺359.99 for me

      • Same for me

      • +1

        Looks like it unfortunately, it was quite hard to match all the offers in the IAP pages without installing all the apps, so there's going to be some discrepancies unfortunately, thanks for flagging!

    • Canva Pro is now showing as 849 TL/yr :(

    • AFR price 10 times higher @ TRY249.99/wk

    • Infuse pro has increased the price to $19.99/year

    Anything like this for android users?

    • +3

      If you read the comments on Disney Plus post, Google is canceling most subscriptions obtained with a similar method for Android users.

      • I have signed up through Google for both HBO Max & Starz and they are both going strong. it must be a Disney issue?

        • +2

          this is a fair argument, but you can't blame people for making the most of their currency's superior purchasing power 🤔

        • +4

          Agree, as long as house prices drop to Turkish prices

        • Yes.

      • I should add that if an individual isn’t going to accept the T&C, then expecting a company to act in good faith is pure hypocrisy

      • +1

        I signed up through Apple Turkish ID. So far so good. Go with monthly charge, just in case if they banned the ID later

      • They have started to cancel some, and also region blocking others. ie: Some people get a message noting they are traveling and limited (basically no content bar a few comics is available). They require Turkish VPN to access all content.

        So yes the crackdown has started, but from the current feedback MOST users are still going.
        Worth noting though, everyone that has had their service cancelled, did not and won't receive refunds.
        So always a gamble.

      • 12ft has lags

      • Thanks for sharing that, I never knew it existed! My old method stopped working a couple of years ago and I totally forgot about finding a new workaround!

    • how was the subscription to AFR? Have you done it and any issues?

      • +1

        No mate. AFR only works on the device its subscribed.

  • Won't they ask to set up for payment from Turkey as a backup payment before purchasing from gift card?

    • Nope, they won’t.

      • Thanks mate. Can I change my region back to Australia once I subscribe to any?

        • +2

          You just need to login into media and purchases with your turkish ID to get the subscription in app and can then log back into your primary ID and subscription will run as long as your turkish account is topped up.

          • @Pricebeat: That's awesome. Is there apple one for turkey region. I'm not able to find the link.

        • +2

          I have a family setup on my current account, if I setup turkey account won’t family lose all the current shared family apps

          • @naru6705: I don’t believe they will lose access to your current subbed apps. But any new apps under the Turkish Apple ID, won’t be available to them.

  • Does f1 tv pro work in Australia?

    • +1

      Don't think so, you will need to use VPN if you want to watch the race live.
      However F1 Access will work.

    you’re amazing pricebeat

  • Curious if Crunchyroll will end up cancelling subs just like the last time.

    • Hey can they tell legitimate accounts vs not

      • They can see that you are paying via Turkish App Store, but using it in Australia.

        • i wonder if a way to reduce the risk is to use a turkish vpn on your router?? but dont know if this is sustainable on a long term basis speed and reliability wise

          • @KeplersLaws: edit: just tested it with my cyberghost vpn, halves my already abysmal down speed and obviously adds a tonne of ping. bummer

        Have you ever been inside a Turkish prison?

        • +3

          Yeah during the battle of Armenia and turkey

          Never again

        • Is it like Turkish Delight?

        • Surely you can't be serious

    • Mine is still going strong

      • And you used the Turkish gift cards?

        • No I was signed up with the Argentinian vpn trick

          • @Psygnosis: Nice, I tried a few months ago but they blocked that trick now

          • @Psygnosis: wonder if the subs will automatically renew when the renewal period comes around. most likely they shut down argentenian payments all together

            • @hate: I had signed up for the annual, I suppose when the year comes up to pay again I’ll report back

            • @hate: Mine just auto renewed today. Worked out cheaper ($14.44) because of current exchange rate.

              I don't think it was ever blocked. My friend tried it out a few months ago and it worked. I suspect the people who had their subs cancelled were trying to use PayPal, instead of card.

  • +1 for the effort! I’ve tried to avoid subscriptions but will reconsider it again with the new Turkey prices!

    One thing I’m not sure is can we log in to the Turkey account to purchase the subscriptions and then log out and log in again with the main Australian account, so that the normal apps still get their frequent updates. Will the ones subscribed with the Turkey account still work without you logged in with that Turkey account in the AppStore?

    • +3

      Apps can be updated with any account logged in.

      • Awesome! Great to know.

  • Paramount Plus? Got notification today of the impending end of cheap subscription

    • They removed the $5 plans from Australian store

    Just found another app subscription that might be worth using this hack
    Hiya: Spam Phone Call Blocker

    Annual subscription: 169.99TL (~AUD 13.4) - https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/hiya-spam-phone-call-blocker/i…
    Aus Store price: AUD 40.99 - https://apps.apple.com/au/app/hiya-spam-phone-call-blocker/i…

    BTW, for those that want to see the price in Turkey store
    just find the appstore link, and change "au" or "us" to "tr"
    Then go to the In-App Purchase section to find the price in Turkish Lira

    • Thanks, noticed the free version wasn't filtering for me anymore

  • Can you sign up for apps via apple then login via Android and the subscription will be active based on your login and not your Apple id

    • It should work as the subscription with link to your account on the app.

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Will grab a couple apps. Have used Turgames - a little slow with processing but no issues so far.

    • +1

      Don’t forget to try buying the subscription and check price before buying gift cards. The above table is for guide only.

  • can you just add a credit card to turkey appstore account instead of buying giftcards?

    • +2

      Nope, that’s why the gift card method

      • Can you elaborate why? I just added 28 degree card to my turkey appstore but not sure whether it works. Nothing to purchase atm.

        • It doesn’t get accepted. Apple uses credit/debit card country detection method

        • Interesting… contrary to below response it won’t even let you add a card that isn’t accepted, maybe 28deg is the exception

          • @Terra Australis: Has anyone tried purchasing giftcards through bitrefill? seems to be a better alternative

  • Any idea if this works with other dating apps like Hinge or Bumble as well? Or are they not available in Turkey or smth?

    • +1

      Works for bumble, bumble also have lifetime sub for about $103. Hinge is as expensive as in Australia I think

      • First off @Pricebeat this is awesome. My bro is freaking out about this hack haha

        So I've set him up but do you have any idea why the Tinder and Hinge subs all convert to TRY when it shows you the sub price, but Bumble still shows in AUD$? He has closed and restarted the app but it just doesn't want to show the TRY price for lifetime, just the standard AUD$149. Same story with Coffee Meets Bagel actually..

        Thoughts?

        • +1

          Not sure what’s happening but what you can try is to still try to sign up and see what shows on the pop up screen which appears to confirm your purchase with double press of the power button. Price should show in TRY on the pop up screen.

          • @Pricebeat: Yeah he tried that on Bumble. It just flashed up on screen then went back to the Premium options. I probably should've mentioned that earlier. I tried to Facetime him on another phone sop I could see it and I watched it flash back after initially showing the AUD pricing. Hella weird… couldn't figure it out so I told him to go to the club instead haha

            • +1

              @KangaDrew: Just tried and it works for me. Shows price in TL. May be logout of Turkish ID and login, then restart phone and app.

              • @Pricebeat: Thanks PB. Will advise him tomorrow to try that, thanks.

        • Is Hinge discounted or full price?

      • What about Ginder?😁

        • What about it?

      • Patched, i’m getting 2999 try for bumble premium

        • How much was it before?

        • I'm getting 3,179.99 TRY for lifetime

          Edit: After restarting it appears as 1329.99 ~ $112

    • Yes. That’s what I do

      • Thanks!

      • But I can't use the same Apple ID I used to register in Australia?

        • Nope need a separate email address
