My Turkey subscription broke when my CC expired previously so I have been holding off on buying till now.

I managed to get it to work with Nord via India.

The process is:

  • Wait for your plan to cancel (I don't know if it will work on existing plans)
  • Stay OFF the VPN
  • Sign in to netflix.com
  • Connect to the VPN
  • Go to the renewal page
  • Subscribe to India prices.
Pricing
  • Mobile Plan ₹149 (~A$ 2.75)
  • Basic Plan ₹199 (~A$ 3.68)
  • Standard Plan ₹499 (~A$ 9.22)
  • Premium Plan ₹649 (~A$ 11.50)

I've had my plan back on for about two weeks now and it seems to be working.

I'm sure I'll need to update this post with other info as you all comment and tell me everything I didn't know or factor into this.

    Didnt they kill all vpn subscriptions ?

    • the-rabs on 28/05/2024 - 11:12

      They did have a big cull where they cancelled all VPN subscriptions but it seems signing up via VPN works again.

    • mkbsd on 28/05/2024 - 13:31

      It started working again after that mass cancellation event. I have an active Nigerian subscription. They’ve just taken the money out for 3rd month. 5000NGN($5.34) for 4K Netflix.

        I have an active Nigerian sub too - 4 months - signed up via vpn - watched a few movies via vpn for first 30 days then disconnected VPN and watching normally now - another mate who did the same but shared the id with his brother got disconnected next day after sharing YMMV

        • Be Happy on 29/05/2024 - 08:33

          Which bank card did you used? I used Coles and was able to get sub but then today rather than getting renewed, sub got cancelled.

    • Geoff-bargain on 28/05/2024 - 14:13

      You could keep it going with gift cards. I did that for a few months and have now changed it back to cc and will see what happens

  • Megatron on 28/05/2024 - 11:12

    with vpn do you get buffering/quality issues? Wouldnt a $6.99 plan with ad be better? The adverts are really only about 2 minutes per hours and some dont have any ads.

    • the-rabs on 28/05/2024 - 11:13
      +16

      You only use the VPN to sign up to a plan at less than what it costs in Australia.. You don't need to continue to use it once you have signed up.. you just watch the service as you normally would, without a VPN.

      • Megatron on 28/05/2024 - 11:26

        that would risk cancellation from Netflix.. wouldnt it? I read somewhere that they now use a number of days mechanism and kill your sub after a set number of days. I have a with ad subscription as Netflix content is definitely not worth more than $7 a month haha. The ads are so few and small they dont really bother.

          • littlesoldier on 28/05/2024 - 19:31

            @[Deactivated]: This is what I have done too, having one home TV (TVOS) connected to India VPN and open Netflix probably once a week (basically just loading up the profile selection and the home menu)

            On the same TV, using a Google TV via HDMI and just watch Netflix normally without VPN

          So I have an indian netflix account. Have been using it for years he in Aus. I didnt sign up using vpn because I have an Indian bank acc. On top of that, one device is being used by my brother in India.. The only issue we sometimes face is Netflix saying the devices are not part of the same household.. which is easily resolved via otp in email.. you would not face this issue if all devices are connected to your home network.
          Which is how they detect this..

        • beach bum on 28/05/2024 - 12:51

          Then you mute the ads and check Ozbargain..

          • Megatron on 28/05/2024 - 13:46

        Yes, but after a while they cancel your account (and don't even refund your last payment). It happened to me.

        • K1LL3R12 on 28/05/2024 - 13:10

    I signed up via India soon after they cancelled my Turkey sub but they cancelled that too and kept the month that I had paid for. How long has yours been going for?

    • ajooba on 28/05/2024 - 11:30

      I have been using it since Feb 24. My bankwest works fine but every month Netflix fails to deduct money and ask me to put in the card details and card verification again. Yes it is a pain but it works.

  • MELso on 28/05/2024 - 11:17
    +35

    A good deal if you can get it to work, but I've now had both my Turkey and Kenya subs killed by Netflix mid-month, so not willing to risk an Indian one being cancelled early (and think $26 for the 4K plan is too much given that most Netflix content is now dross IMO).

    Stremio it is.

    • nightelves on 28/05/2024 - 11:29

      My Nigeria account still works

      • spirrowhack on 28/05/2024 - 11:37

        Me too. First month in VPN, then back to Australia without issue. If I get booted again I'll try the sign up and cancel immediately method that someone else is having success with. Can't complain for $5.

        • dealer453 on 28/05/2024 - 12:11

            @dealer453: Sign up to Nigeria and cancel immediately. Apparently they're not getting booted from already cancelled accounts and you keep it for the rest of the month. Can't cancel what's already cancelled maybe.

          It's good but I wouldn't say flawlessly. Be ready to wait 1 minutes before each video starts even with a gigabit connection. Apart from this yes it's very good.

              @Ethan Bargain-Hunt: It takes this time once you've already watched the video or someone in realdebrid within the same region have already have the links to stream it.
              Regardless its definitely not instant like Netflix.

        I set this up about three weeks ago and I'm kicking myself that I didn't do it sooner.
        I am not great with technology but followed a very user friendly guide on redit and it worked straight away.

        The Real-Debrid option makes this so much smoother and so much faster. You have access to virtually everything that is popular at the moment across all the networks. I was also recommended to add the Torrentio app to Stremio and Real-Debrid.

        No need for a VPN with Real Debrid either, and the RD subscription only works out at roughly $1 per week for each 6 month period.

      • sween64 on 28/05/2024 - 12:22
        +1

        Real-Debrid allows for cached streams from their servers rather than relying on P2P torrents. It’s worth the price. On Stremio/Torrentio cached streams appear as RD+ links.

        • rekkore on 28/05/2024 - 13:16
          +1

          The only issue is simultaneous streams are limited to same internet connection, so you will have to pay per household.

          It's still cheaper since you could get 3 DB subs for the average cost of a single basic subscription.
          It's just more about juggling and paying for 3 different accounts but beats jumping through the hoops of a non-Aus netflix sub.

        Perhaps a stupid question but is Stremio + RD torrenting and therefore illegal if caught?

        • samcro on 28/05/2024 - 17:24

          Just clarifying that it’s not the torrenting part that makes it illegal. Bittorrent is just a method of transferring files, though often used for transferring files illegally as in this case.

    • No on 28/05/2024 - 12:05

    $11.50pm in India. Prices sure have moved up. Given the risk of cancellation again, may be less effort to just share an AU account with 1-2 friends/fam pitching in. same cost or less at the end.
