* 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.

      • Good point! Are there any other county options that work?

  • Nice!!

  • Just upped my iCloud sub - had been on the edge about paying more for ages, this made the decision easy! Almost too good to be true though… I hope it lasts.

    • How much was it? When I tried to do mine it was still in AUD.

      • +1

        5.50/month for 2TB. Check the link at bottom of the OP.

  • Discord Nitro by any chance?

    • they already have turkish payment plans on the web or desktop version at really good prices.
      connect to a turkish vpn to see prices, only asks for a turkish address during the payment process. tried paying through paypal, but it didn't go through. guess you need a turkish payment method of some sort. haven't tried paying through card yet though.

    • +1

      It says TRY27 per month on Google Play.

      Or TRY270 per year

  • +1

    I checked sleep cycle, it’s in Turkish lira but it’s 329 instead of 92. Do I need to do anything else?

    • 459.99 for me

    • +1

      I'd sleep on it

    • Price seems to have changed (we made this list a couple of weeks ago), also note that to get some of the cheaper prices, you may have to use the hack linked in description. On IAP section for sleep cycle I can see sleep cycle 1 year premium for TRY48.99 as well as few other prices. I will may be just remove sleep cycle from the table.

      • I think whats happened is that the app store lists every price its ever been for premium? Because there is multiple prices listed there for the same product.

  • Another great one I picked up was Adobe Creative Cloud. 187 Lira a month, (About $15 AUD per month) or $170 Annually. Used my Revolut and here I am. Cheers OP for this thread, already have FlightRadar24, Dashlane, Netflix and Disneyplus on Lira!

  • -8

    It’s a no from me.
    The way apple works means that if you have a single problem you are going to be up the creek without a paddle.

    • no idea what this means.
      for the record I actually did have an issue logging into my alternate ID, it said my ID was inactive (naturally my BPM went to the roof). I went through live chat and he said no idea what is the cause, tweaked some things on his end and I was back in.

  • Duolingo?

    • +2

      ₺499.99 for family plan

  • Does anyone know the price for obsidian sync?

  • How to check? I’m interested in IXL subscription for the kids

    • +1

      TRY52.99/month (~A$4.15)

  • Is it possible to add the turkish apple id to my family so i can share the subscriptions? Or will that mess it up somehow?

    • Yes but subscriptions won’t get shared cross country. Only iCloud+ subscription can be family shared cross country.

  • What payment option did people use? I tried GPAY and PAYTR with my ING visa credit card … but it keeps gettig blocked by ING. Called ING twice to unblock but no luck

    • +1

      I used Revolut virtual card

  • NextThere is Lira 24.99 a year, approx $1.95 AUD

  • So if you already have an account with say Dropbox, can you sign up for the Turkish payment option with a different email but still use your original email you use for the service that you previously signed up for?

    • I didn’t get your question. Do you want to continue using your current account with Dropbox?

      • Basically yes. Haha. Or any other service such as Mubi, Strava, etc but without having to change those emails.

        • +1

          You can use your current accounts with any and all services. Just need new email to sign up for the Turkish Apple ID

          • @Pricebeat: Great. Thanks for your help.

          • @Pricebeat: Looks like I may have to wait for my current subscription to end before I can hopefully change payment options as Mubi for example has my credit card as the payment option. Hopefully I can change over to an IAP after it ends.

            Anyone else successfully changed over from CC to IAP?

            • @rdomain: You may have to cancel and wait before changing over

    • +1

      my dropbox is up next month, I've looked high and low and can't find way to migrate from direct billing to iTunes without letting the account lapse…. happy to be re-educated though… its AUD$185… much prefer the Turkish holiday

      • I believe if you have a subscription, if it lapses, your files are still there for a period of time so that should work. As long as it give you the option of swapping payment methods once it's expired, you should be able to do the swap.

  • Is Speechify available through this loophole?

    • Audio text reader?

      TRY949.99/year (~A$74.34)

  • It’s a shame there’s barely any discount for 1Password. Still 400 lira for annual subscription.

    • +1

      $31 compared to $55 is still better than nothing, although I'm tempted to try BitWarden when my subscription expires.

      • +3

        Bitwarden is free and great. Dunno why people are paying for other apps tbh.

  • The $50 cards are sold out. Just bought a heap of $25 ones though.

    • I bought 13 of the 50 ones but it's been couple hours and still nothing

      • Mine still hasn't gone through. Yourself?

        • mine neither. Look like we're on back order

          • @trantonz: Dang. I wonder if they cancel your order after a period of time instead of 'processing'

            • +1

              @rdomain: Literally just received them 1 min ago. Check your email if it’s there

        • Mine shows as failed (no longer processing) but card was charged. Support reply was talk to your bank..

          • @evgpek: Mine showed failed at first but I refreshed the page couple times then it said processing

    • It's taking forever to process my order though….

      • Money gets refunded right away from them, it could be bank delaying may be due to weekend. When mine got canceled money was back in account within 5 minutes

  • Thanks very much for this.

    Just take note, the 50 TRY are sold-out and only 25 TRY (c.AUD 1.96) are available. The maximum you can buy at a time is 11 i.e. about AUD 21.56 equivalent and it takes a while to process so if you are looking to buy something that costs a bit just make some time/be patient.

    • +1

      Gift cards are also available from Eneba but processing fee and price is high

      • +1

        You read my mind. Funnily enough I looked and bought from Eneba at same time and was just about to post. There's about a 10% commission so you factor that into account. The benefit is that you can use Paypal if you are concerned about security. Basically instant though and could buy 50 TRY cards.

        • Too expensive, it’s an extra 25% when factoring in commission plus service charge for card/PayPal payments… ouch

    • How to change the currency to TRY? I have selected the 25 TRY card, which is showing 01.37 EUR

      • Change the currency at the top of the website

  • Do you need to use a real phone number when purchasing from turgame?

  • does it mean i need to use a different ID to have access to cheaper subscribtions?

    • You use your new id to sign in for the media purchases section on your phone but you're still signed into your original id on your phone overall.

      "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"

      • i see! so my subscriptions from my AU id would be gone, and loaded with the turkish one?

        or it's a combination of AU id and Turkish ID?

        how about my apple storage - icloud?

  • Just to confirm….. when entering the Turkish gift cards, I sign into the App Store with my new 'Turkish' Apple ID?

    • +1

      Yep sign into media and purchases under settings > your name

      • Yep, I have done that but just confirming when activating cards in the App Store…. I sign in with the Turkish Apple ID too?

        • +1

          Yes.

          • @Pricebeat: Cheers!

          • +1

            @Pricebeat: Thought I'd write here for any others possibly having trouble…..

            It wouldn't let me sign in on my MacBook Pro to enter the gift cards but the phone worked fine.

  • Does anyone know if the whole process is doable on just a MacBook without an iPhone?

    • I couldn't log into my App Store to activate the gift cards via my MacBook for some reason. I even tried it with a Turkish VPN. I didn't experiment any more as I then tried on my iPhone and got it sorted easy.

  • does this work for google one drive?

  • Has anyone managed to get Strava subscription to work? In the app store it shows the TRY279, but when I try to subscribe in the app it still reverts to $104.99 - yes I've created a second turkish ID and purchased gift cards fine.

    • Are you logged into media and purchases section with Turkish ID?

      • Yes that's correct. I even deleted the app and repurchased it with my tukish apple ID. The app store shows the TRY279 subscription, but once inside the app it only brings up the $104.99. When I proceed to pay the $104.99 then the app store purchase comes up at TRY1.699,99 (not the TRY279 that it should)

        • The price posted here and on App page may not be correct then. We went through app store to get the prices and not all the prices on app store are correct as mentioned in description, we couldn’t really test all the apps for correct prices. I will edit it out when I get home.

          • +1

            @Pricebeat: i'm getting shown TRY279.99 per year

            • +1

              @impoze: Hey - just curious how you managed to get this going? Can you let me know which screen you clicked through to buy premium at the 279.99. Everything I try keeps coming up with 1.699,99

              Edit: scrub this… I managed to get it working. Did a full phone shut down and restart and it’s now 279 🥳

    • ah was planning to do the strava sub as well

  • Cheers OP. These prices look amazing. Will look into it soon when I have some spare time

  • TRY 50 cards are back in stock

  • Is anyone else having difficulties purchasing TRY cards from Turgame? I've placed two different orders that were accepted and then subsequently refunded within minutes. Paying by Revolut FWIW. I even had to switch phone numbers on my account because it was saying it wasn't valid, yet they texted me on it the other day.

    @Pricebeat - any thoughts or experience with this happening?

    I received the following email each time (translated)

    Hello,
    In accordance with our agreement with our member merchants and our obligations under the legislation, your payment has been canceled after the checks on your payment.
    The payment amount will be refunded to your card / account.
    Regards.

    • I have only so far bought twice and had no issues

  • Yesterday my cards were instantaneous. Today they’re taking hours. It’s been about 5 hours on “processing”. Anyone know how long it can take before I try get a refund?

    • I ended up getting the gift cards at midnight. So took about 7 hours.

      • I’ve order 3 times. First 2 times were ordered around 2am and was instantaneous. 3rd order was midday and it took several hours to process.

  • +2

    Another great one I found is Medium. Its an app to read articles written by anyone. Great for reading articles/opinion pieces from lots of different perspectives. Free version limits the articles you can read. Pro version AU$50 per year. Turkish version is 169 lira (AU$13).

  • wait a min, why don't I change the main account (appleID) to Turkey country? would it work too?
    changing country to Turkey?

    • Losing Apple One and apple if you ever wanted them, most Australian apps won’t be available. If you have credit on Turkish account you won’t be able to switch back unless you finish the credit.

  • received my cards after a few hours

    Has anyone seen the note about changing browsers & IPs?

    If you purchased multiple codes, use different IP and browser for each code. If you do not follow this rule, the code you purchased may be blocked. This responsibility belongs to you.

    update: added four cards consecutively through app store and worked fine.

  • Was anyone double charged for order on Turgame? I was charged twice. Submitted a ticket already.

    Memrise app - Currently 50% off on annual subscription, TRY149.99 (A$11.92) for whole year after discount.

  • How are you guys downloading the app and purchasing the subscription?
