Google decided to cut myself and others off from using Google One in Turkey. Credits to @I Smell pennies for this deal last year https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/751330

Today I moved myself and my OzB family to Ukraine using the VPN from this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/823094
There may be cheaper countries out there such as the Philippines or Pakistan but the VPN I had doesn't connect there so I didn't try.
Steps:

  • If you're currently in Turkey or India you'll need to close your current payment profiles in those countries and create one in Ukraine. I am using a standard Westpac Debit card and the residence of the prime minister as the Ukrainian address
  • Fly to Ukraine Connect to a Ukrainian VPN and using an incognito browser confirm you are there by googling "where am I". The VPN linked before took me to the UK twice before sending me to Ukraine.
  • Still using incognito, login to your Google account and go to the Google One page
  • Sign up to whatever plan you want and confirm payment
  • Once payment has been made you can disconnect from the VPN
Plan Pricing UAH AUD Conversion*
100GB Monthly 45 ~$1.76
200GB Monthly 80 ~$3.13
2TB Monthly 229 ~$8.97
5TB Monthly 575 ~$22.52
100GB Annually 459 ~$17.98
200GB Annually 800 ~$31.33
2TB Annually 2299 ~$90.03
5TB Annually 5,745 ~$225

*I signed up for the 100GB Annual plan and was charged $18.02 by Google - so the conversions listed may vary a little bit.

Important!
If you currently have a YouTube Premium sub in another country (mine was Turkish) you will need to cancel it and re-subscribe with Ukraine. It automatically unsubscribes when your payment method is removed for the country you signed up for.
You can do this while still connected to the VPN. Prices are as follows per month

Plan Pricing UAH AUD Conversion
Individual 99 ~$3.88
Family 149 ~$5.84
Student 59 ~$2.31

The last YTP payment I made in Turkish was $6.22 for the family plan - quite a bit more than the $4~ I was paying last year.

    Can I get a Nest aware subscription using this method?

  • sunnyc on 06/01/2024 - 15:14

    I don’t think everyone was cutoff

    • SnowDragon on 06/01/2024 - 15:19

      If you check the comments of the previous deal it happened to some people. Also some redditors too.

      I even attempted to purchase Turkish Google Play cards to pay for the subscription but I couldn't get them to activate.

  • tkboi on 06/01/2024 - 16:03

    is this happening on when the subscription is over and its time for a renewal? so far im still good

    • SnowDragon on 06/01/2024 - 16:06

      I was paying monthly and around September decided not to like my payment method anymore.

      So I guess if you chose the annual plan it would be fine.

  • langitbiru on 06/01/2024 - 16:26

    Reporting Tunnel Bear (got it from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/343034) does not have Ukraine :( so this isnt attainable for me (yet)…

    on the other hand - i noticed Nigeria (2TB annual) is NGN47,500 (~A$78) compared to A$125 on Google Australia….

  • walshy1009 on 06/01/2024 - 20:18

    My YT Premium and Google One via Turkey are still going strong (both on separate accounts).

    My YT Premium renews every month as normal. However, my 2TB Google One Annual is due for renewal in a couple weeks so we'll see what happens there. Hoping it goes through as I'd prefer to pay ~$30 year as opposed to ~$90 year.

    • monchee on 09/01/2024 - 14:23

      Let us know how you go

      • walshy1009 on 30/01/2024 - 11:46

        Seemed to renew just fine. Will see if a suspension follows I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    My current membership doesn't expire until July, is it best to wait towards end of June to cancel and see if this deal is still available? Or can I cancel now and will it keep my membership until July and I'll try to renew with this deal and see if I can add another year?

    Google LLC is increasing the price of your subscription "Google One (2 TB)" from TRY 289.99/year to TRY 499.99/year starting on January 16, 2024.

    You'll automatically be charged the subscription price (plus any taxes) to the payment method provided until you cancel. Your price may change again as described in the Google Play Terms of Service. You can choose to stop your subscription from renewing at any time and see upcoming charges in Subscriptions on Google Play. Learn how to cancel.

      Unrelated but what method do you use to pay for things in Turkey. I was using OlduBil but that doesn't work anymore for loading currency into it

      • walshy1009 on 08/01/2024 - 22:36

        I just used my everyday credit card issued by an Australian bank and had 0 issues

    • hughc on 19/01/2024 - 11:54

      That hike is likely just a reflection of the current Turkish inflation rate:

  • captbollocks on 07/01/2024 - 01:28

    PureVPN doesn't have Ukraine as an option.

    What's the next best deal? Is it Nigeria as one of the comments had above?

    Is there a list anywhere?

    • terroz on 07/01/2024 - 04:19

      I saw somewhere on reddit that Sri Lanka have cheap google one pricing

  • randomdude on 07/01/2024 - 09:17

    Thanks for the heads up.
    I have been buying Turkey annually so that I have some heads up before any renewal issues - it's currently due to expire 11th of Jan.
    There appear to be mixed responses to Turkey renewals - some people say renewals are going through OK but new purchases are not.

    I've already done my Google Takeout of ~800GB of photos/videos in preparation to move countries in case it doesn't renew for another 12 months. I have already set up a Primary card and a Secondary card.

    From my experience, I've had the most success with Google Accounts and Payments by using an old Android phone, doing a factory reset without connecting a google account, sideloading a VPN app, connecting the VPN country and THEN creating a new Gmail account for the country I am interested in (e.g [email protected]) - from then on, you can secure your account, set up payments, cards etc all from within Android with the VPN activated.

    I'm also interested in finding the cheapest country for the moment as I'm thinking of going from 2TB to 5TB

    • oracle365 on 12/01/2024 - 00:50

      "creating a new Gmail account for the country I am interested in" -> this suggest that you are using the new account solo, without adding it to family group? i believe for family group, the new account got to be AU address(to be added to family group) then TRY address.

      • randomdude on 12/01/2024 - 06:38

        You are correct, i am not using family groups

    Thanks OP.. with the extra effort and account risks, there's not much saving compared to buying direct in Australia though, e.g. AUD7 for annual 100GB plan.

  • rasserie on 07/01/2024 - 10:42
    +1

    for a 100GB plan, and for a savings of a paltry $7 spread across 12 months, i am not entirely sure its worth the risk but a deal is a deal and i respect that.

    • SnowDragon on 07/01/2024 - 11:25

      Might try and find a VPN which has Pakistan and Philippines and see if there's better out there which can be purchased easily.

      This certainly is not as good as the Turkey prices.

    My GoogleOne subscription ends in a couple days and I was considering doing this when I first found out about it earlier this year. Then found out lots of users getting banned by Google and lost access to everything.

    Is it worth getting banned and losing access to everything? Would love to hear from people who have been banned from using this trick.

    Understand that this is not for everybody since most Apple users don’t use Google One and vice versa but you can just easily sign up in app via the Turkish apple App Store on your apple device. No need for VPN or anything else.

      Drop and reconnect. Took me 2-3 connects before it landed in the right country.

      Fly to Ukraine Connect to a Ukrainian VPN and using an incognito browser confirm you are there by googling "where am I". The VPN linked before took me to the UK twice before sending me to Ukraine.

      • Skullz on 31/01/2024 - 13:22

        so weird if I try with Philippines and Turkey(after login only shows me AUD prices) it shows the prices of those locations straight away, however with Ukraine doesn't, it goes to Iran, London, etc but not Ukraine location LOL, don't know if it's because the VPN I'm using.

        • SnowDragon on 31/01/2024 - 13:32

          If its showing aud prices it means you are using an Aus google payment profile.

        I had Turkey but removed that payment profile. Then added a new payment profile while connected to Ukraine (VPN). Also confirmed that the VPN was actually to Ukraine and not some other country as I get Ukraine pricing for GoogleOne.
