Update - While individual (single) plans should work for most credit/debit cards, family plan sign-ups will fail for 99% of you. If this the case, the only other option may be Youtube Premium Family via Turkey

I just made it work guys - USE EXPRESSVPN and connect to India VIA SINGAPORE

Google is increasing the prices for Youtube Premium in several countries worldwide, including USA, UK, Canada, Argentina, Turkey, Japan etc. This means Argentina is no longer the cheapest and most OzBargainers will be migrating from Argentina to… India - Happy Diwali

For price references, Youtube Premium via Australia is $14.99/mth for individual plans & $22.99/mth for family plans

Notes

  • Most VPN services have removed Indian servers due to new laws in India

  • Use ExpressVPN and connect to India via Singapore. Sign up and use the 30 Day Money Back Guarantee to get a refund

  • I can sign up for individual (all cards work, payment due sometime next month) but family sub gives me errors on all cards. Trying to find an way to fix this

  • If payment fails, try creating an Indian payment profile. You can create a new payment profile by following these steps by alcheron: go to https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings and clicking the pen icon next to "Country/Region" and a link to create a new profile should pop up. You can then add details for the India profile.

        A lot of conspiracy theorists have been overreacting the past 2 years to this plan on their website called 'The Great Reset'.
        They are busy scaring themselves with ghost stories when most of it appears to be sustainability policies, carpooling, public transport, renewable energy.
        Also it's been on their website for like the past 5-8 years now so it's a bit late to complain about it now.

      You need a credit card in the country you have your Netflix account. You can use VPN to access content from other countries, but what defines your main region is the credit card you use to pay the subscription.

          You don't need it. Here's what worked for me:
          - sign up for a local Netflix account
          - add a local credit card
          - cancel the account
          - buy a Turkish Netflix card from G2A.com, or similar
          - VPN to Turkey
          - log in with your old Netflix account
          - sign up to a plan using the Turkish gift card

          when the Turkish gift card expires it will go back to the stored (AU) credit card

      • mnemonic9 on 21/10/2022 - 13:34

            @thepurist: Actually i lie.

            $9 is for Netflix through Turkey.

            Youtube Premium costs me $1.89 through Argentina. I used this guide and it worked the first time. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/705847

            @thepurist: Use a gift card first, and then add your cc as an alternative payment method afterwards. When the gift card balance is finished it will deduct from your cc automatically.

            I also couldn’t get it to accept my cc at first but worked with this method.

            • thepurist on 21/10/2022 - 13:47

                @thepurist: +1 for the gift card method.

                All you have to do is cancel your current subscription. Wait for it to run out. Change country to Turkey (with vpn). Pay using a Turkish netflix gift card. When the money on the gift card runs out, it defaults back to your credit card that you already had on file with them and it works.

    • 4agte on 21/10/2022 - 13:38

      For an existing account, let the plan, use VPN, access Netflix and reactivate account. Or try other suggestions in previous Netflix deals. TRY gift cards are also pretty easy to find

    • wizko on 21/10/2022 - 14:52

      Buy a visa or mastercard gift card from said region for Netflix to work.

      I did it before Netflix started requiring local credit / debit cards so it works with my commbank one but this obviously isn't possible anymore.

    • IdBuyThat4aDollar on 21/10/2022 - 16:34

      Easiest way to get turkey netflix is with a Turk netflix gift card from www.g2a.com and Turkey vpn for the sign up. I could never get my credit card working.

      There's exclusive content on Youtube, bunch of features on the official mobile app (if you use it) and chromecast doesn't have ads (you can't adblock that), there's also Google music.

      You get a lot for $2.50.

        You can use the older Vanced apps for both video and music (separate apps). Casting kind of works if you cast the whole mobile screen.

        • Shwayne on 21/10/2022 - 13:42

          Casting the mobile screen doesn't work in a lot of situations, I've had people come over and cast videos to the screen and we sit through several ads before each video, really kills the vibe, asking them to cast their mobile screen would just be terror.

          You can certainly use Vanced etc. and I think if you don't use Google Music anyway you can avoid needing the official app features for sure, but having it all for around $3 is not a bad deal.

          Personally I don't use Spotify.

      Any method to avoid YouTube ads without a premium subscription is flaky at best and unreliable in the long run. This is coming from someone that used to use vanced. $20 a year for premium saves a lot of hassle if u use YouTube heaps, want to use the app on a smart TV etc

    There are new laws in India that limits you from successfully using the VPN for this purpose which is why you've noticed little to no VPN connections to India. I would've thought this would be the case across all VPN including Express?

    Another problem, making a gmail account has gotten much harder. Require your mobile number FROM that country,
