* 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.

  1. Do I have to sign out my entire primary Apple ID to login into Turkish ID?

No, Just need to log out of Media and purchases option, listed under Settings > Your Name > Media and Purchases and then sign in into Media and purchases with your Turkish ID.

    • Can’t share purchases overseas.

  • Saw this message when I was in the App Store connect portal:

    Upcoming Changes to App Store Pricing
    On May 9, 2023, pricing for your existing apps and in-app purchases (excluding auto-renewable subscriptions) will be updated across all 175 storefronts to be equalized to your base country or region using publicly available exchange rate information. If you don’t specify a base country or region, Apple will use your current price in the United States as the basis to provide comparable prices in other countries or regions. Learn more about app or in-app purchase pricing.

    I wonder how many if any of the above apps may be "equalised" and no longer cheaper.

    • They've already started to do this, look at the cost of Xero Accounting

      • They (Xero) probably did that themselves

  • 1Blocker
    Monthly TRY 20,99 ($1.62 vs $4.99 AUD)
    Yearly TRY 102,99 ($7.93 vs $24.49 AUD)
    Lifetime TRY 879,99 ($67.72 vs $60 AUD)

  • Any tips for how to get the canva yearly plan. It only offers me the monthly plan. There doesn't seem to be a way to change the plan from monthly to yearly once you set it up that I can see.

    • It looks like it’s gone up in price significantly @ 849.99tl a year. You should be able to go to the App Store - account - subscriptions and change it there?

  • I know the title says iOS, but does this also work for the MacOS app store using the same steps?
    Also, will it work for buying apps outright, not subscription? Or does that link the purchased app to the Turkish Apple ID?

  • For anyone who subscribed to the AFR—does this only work in the iOS app?

    I've subscribed but can't get the subscription to work on other devices or in a web browser.

    I tried logging in with an existing account and then subscribing, but no luck.

    I tried the Apple ID as well but that didn't seem to be it either.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    • I tried many times and AFR doesn't work. AFR only works on the device where the subscription is taken from.

      • That's a shame, thanks though! Glad to know it's not just me.

        I may just set up a Student subscription and split it with people, I think it's up to 6 devices.

        • @nickeveli have you done this? I'm interested to join if any spare slots available

          • @netbirds82: Hi mate, yes I have and have a slot free.

            Feel free to shoot me a PM (I think yours are turned off at the moment)

  • Do we need vpn while doing this?
    Becausse my apple id region is Turkey whereas the apple music shows start "1 month free trial and $12.99 after free trial ends".
    Android user.
    Thanks in advance

    PSA Turgame has larger denomination iTunes gift cards available now. I just purchased a ₺1000 one and worked.

  • Everenote is now ₺999 for yearly subscription :/

  • Is liquidtext available. Looks like a good pdf annotation app

  • Looks like SMH and The Age monthly subscriptions are now ₺299/499

  • Just did this for TripitPro which expired recently. OMG how many times did I have to enter my Apple ID and Password and verify on another device? Must have been literally about 20.

    The saving was worth it in the end though.

    So if I want to revert to buying something on the Aus app store, I assume I just switch the Media and Purchases setting back to my Aus Apple ID?

    And to clarify the steps above, you do not need to switch Apple ID, only the Media and Purchases setting?

  • How long does it take for the iTunes gift card to get issued?

  • I have apple care through my Apple ID so I don’t think this method will work. But, I’m thinking to use my old iPhone as a Turkish iPhone and just run everything through that? So sign in fully under my Turkish Apple ID and then any apps I want to pay for through that just install on that phone?

    • you don't have to sign out or use your exising apple ID, only in payments, which you can log out of after payment anyway,

      • interesting, will give it a go

  • Can add Hevy to this list

    Hevy Pro:
    * Monthly (1 Month) ₺19,99 ≈ $1.15 AUD $4.99 AUD
    * Yearly (1 Year) ₺159,99 ≈ $9.18 AUD $38.99AUD

    Unfortunately it seems the lifetime subscription is near around the same in AUD but still: ₺1.999,99 ≈ $114.79 AUD $119.99

  • This method no longer working?

  • Please DM me if any kind soul and owner of an iPhone would be interested in helping me out.

    I don't own an iPhone but previously went through the TurGame and iTunes registration process for the other Microsoft 365 deal, on that occasion a kind Ozbargainer with an iPhone offered to help me out. From memory I need someone to log in via my credentials, install Grammarly, then upgrade to Premium (my account is funded, I've previously purchased iTune cards for the MS 365 deal). So I think everything is ready at my end?

  • Anyone could tell us current Tinder Gold Turkish prices as it changes all the time? Cheers players

    • I noticed Singapore was very cheap, is Turkey the cheapest?

      What about Bumble? Hinge?

  • Has anyone recently purchased Itunes gift card from Turgame with their OlduBil bank card? I have failed multiple times today… :(

    • Don’t buy with your OlduBil. Buy with your Aus bank cards

      • Thank you for your reply, ISP! :-)

        • Sorry I missed your comments earlier, did it work?

          • @I Smell Pennies: I tried with my 28degrees card (twice). It didn't work. :-(

            Has anyone else bought from Turgame last few days or today?

            • @Himesama21: I use Commbank and it works, even Suncorp

            • @Himesama21: I just put through an order for 250 lira and it worked

              • @Stanfella: Which one did you choose?
                IYZI, PAYTR, PARA or GPAY? Also, if u don't mind me asking, which bank you're using? Debit or credit card?

                • @Himesama21: The top one, which I believe was IYZI. I'm with Ubank debit card

                • @Himesama21: Did you get this working? I tried using 28 degrees card last night and wouldn't go through, sat in "pending payment" in order history for an hour or two then ended up being cancelled.

  • Once I signup to tinder on here through a spare Iphone, can I use the account on my Samsung galaxy?

    • Yes you can

  • Random thought. As we now have the OlduBil card, can we bypass buying the Turkish iTunes cards and just load the OlduBil card as a payment method on the iCloud ID?

  • "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"

    This obviously means I will loose all my playlists and what not since I am using a new Turkish Apple ID right?

    • No, you’re only using the Turkish Apple ID to sign up to whatever you want. After you sign up to your service, you will log back into your Australian ID again. It doesn’t affect any existing stuff

      • After you sign up to your service, you will log back into your Australian ID again

        This does not work. It asks me to pay for Apple Music.

  • From what I gather for payment options, paying with turgames gift cards will always be the cheapest method (provided you purchase from a debit card with market exchange rates like ING):

    Turgames partner fees: ~0.00144% to 0.0498%
    OlduBil deposit fee: 0.14%
    Wise conversion fee: 0.98%

  • Does Oldubil still accept top up from Revolut and Wise? I read it's suspended

  • This might be a silly question. Am I limited only the the ioS subscription in Apple if i were to use the posted method?

    For example, if i signed up to Grammarly using the posted deal method, can I still login to Grammarly and use it on my personal laptop (Windows) and another phone (Android) OR can only uses it within Apple devices due to it being an Apple subscription?

    Thanks.

    Tried this yesterday. Turgame let me down. After several hours my order was cancelled. I created a support ticket and they said it was an issue with the payment provider.

  • This is great, thanks @Pricebeat! I've followed the steps and have my $TRY sitting in the new Turkish Apple ID. Now I want to sub to my expired Dropbox acc, when I open Dropbox with my Turkish Apple ID, it opens Dropbox with my existing login ( previously logged in ) but says "Couldn't upgrade your plan, something went wrong". What am I meant to do here?

    Do I create a new Dropbox account with my Turkish Apple ID, then logout, change back to my AU Apple ID and login with my exisiting Dropbox account and I should be good to go?

    • Got it working, had in-app purchases turned off. Turkish Dropbox PRO plan ( $699.99 ) is cheaper than PLUS ( $799.99 ). Get more storage 3TB and added benefits with PRO. Thanks legends.

    Just used this for Office 365 (24TRY/$1.37AUD) and the only issue I had was Turgame. It kept saying my browser was a spambot and wouldn't let me create an account for purchase. I had to link it to a fake Google account to get it to work. I also am not a fan of having to verify with mobile number. Either way, it worked in the end.

    Update to some pricing:
    LinkedIn Premium (Career) is 999TRY/month ($56.98AUD) and 5999TRY/year ($342.18AUD)
    F1TV Pro is 1300TRY/year ($74.15AUD) or 159TRY/month ($9.07AUD)

  • Does it entirely safe or has a chance to be blocked? Or even risk for my primary account?
    Let say I use same valid phone number (non Turkey) for both, and use in the same device.

    • I have 5 IDs for almost 4 years now with same Australian number. Not a guarantee but that’s all I can say

      • Thanks for the confirmation

    • That’s a funny question to ask when you look at how many pages this discussion has and how many people are doing it. Everything has risk but in terms of your question, just read all the posts. This discussion doesn’t need constant duplicate questions.

  • does the id need to be setup using a i device? Seem to get an error when trying via a pc

    Hey folks,

    Have recently tried to create a new AppleId with the Country set to Turkey and I keep receiving an error message.

    "Your request could not be completed at this time."

    Wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

    Tried from different browsers and IP's with no success.

      Not sure if this'll work but try creating a US Apple ID and change the Apple ID country after setup. Just don't add a card, credit, etc. until it's a Turkey ID

    • I am getting the same

    • Have you tried doing it on your iPhone? I was getting the error on my PC but when did it on my safari and it worked.

      • Good advice. Ironically, I got the same error message when trying to create an account from my iPad, but it worked fine on PC.

        So I guess a possible solution is to try different ways.

    Hi all - Is there any issue with 'Add Funds to Apple ID" using Apple Pay instead of using TurGames gift card??

    • Also wondering this, afraid to pull the trigger and use and aussie CC incase it causes problems with the Turkish ID

    • No option to Apple Pay as far as I know.
