Welcome to the Ultimate Guide of Microsoft 365 Subscriptions


I'm back! Posting my previous deal as a new deal (approved by a mod) as I was advised the previous deal is no longer reposted as a long running deal and due to a huge fluctuation in prices. Australian pricing has also increased since last deal, so this is a great time to remind everyone to hop onto this bandwagon and save your hard earned cash.

This guide will also include @jasonxc's instructions on how to get 6TB Storage with client-side encryption (please see instructions towards the end of the guide). Please be aware that this may cause Microsoft to disable one or more of your accounts if you do this. In any case, please direct any questions to @jasonxc if you're following his guide.


No VPN needed. Requires Apple Türkiye ID.

I know many of you use Microsoft 365 applications and OneDrive for storage and since Australian prices are pretty ridiculous, I had to find an alternate solution. I eventually did, finding out TR pricing is now 94% off AU pricing). This is probably an error (they never fixed it?), as it's not meant to be this low - and what's the catch? You only get these prices by subscribing via the Microsoft OneDrive app.

If you don't know what Microsoft 365 is, then it includes Access to the latest updates, Multiple devices and platforms, Ongoing technical support, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Microsoft Editor, Microsoft Defender, Clipchamp, OneDrive Clound Storage, Microsoft Family Safety, Microsoft Teams, Access (PC only), Publisher (for PC only), Microsoft Forms & Skype. Most of these features are unavailable for the Standalone Office Home & Student Bundle

Modern problems require modern solutions. Like Youtube, Netflix, Discord, Google Drive, Disney, relocating to Turkey or another country is sometimes the best option, with some subscriptions saving over $100 AUD each year.

As always, credits to Pricebeat for all the Apple ID related knowledge I've gained from his past posts.

All prices in this guide are current as of 27 September 2024.


Available Plans:

You can see all the features of the three tiered Microsoft 365 plans here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365/buy/compare-al…

Monthly Subscription Plan TR Pricing (TL) AU Conversion (AUD) AU Pricing Official (AUD) Savings (AUD) % Saving Notes
OneDrive Basic ₺0 A$0 A$0 A$0 100% ;) What can I say? It's free lol
Microsoft 365 Basic ₺41,99 A$1.78 A$2.99 N/A N/A AKA OneDrive 100GB. Just avoid it lol
Microsoft 365 Personal ₺15,99 A$0.69 A$11.00 A$10.31 93.7%
Microsoft 365 Family ₺23,99 A$1.04 A$14.00 A$12.96 92.6% Best value; no brainer

Note: The Turkey prices above are only obtainable if you subscribe through the Microsoft Onedrive app. All other Microsoft apps will cost you breakeven or more than what Microsoft Australia charges.


Instructions

Please read the following instructions carefully. Before proceeding, make sure you DO NOT have an active Microsoft 365 subscription. This sign-up deal will only work several days after your Microsoft 365 subscription has expired.

This guide looks extensive (because I try my best to explain it simply for beginners) however if you've done this before then it shouldn't take you more than a few mins (for iOS at least) as you can skip most of these instructions

Part 1 - Turkey Apple ID

If you already have a Turkey Apple ID, proceed to Part 2

If you DO NOT have a Turkey Apple ID:

  1. Create a Turkish Apple ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com/account

  2. 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 the country as Turkey. Then follow through the rest to create your ID.

  3. Login into Apple ID on a browser. Go to this link to enter a Turkish address (you can get a random address here) to your Turkish Apple ID. Select payment method as "none" and save.

Part 2 - Loading your Turkey Apple ID with Turkey Apple Gift Cards

  1. Buy TL (₺) iTunes gift cards and pay with a debit/credit card (use a card that has no international transaction fees to avoid the any extra costs).

    Purchase from Eneba or G2A or Turgame.

  2. 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

  3. Redeem iTunes gift cards by going to App Store > Account (located at right top corner) > Redeem gift cards or code.

Part 3 - Downloading OneDrive

  1. Once signed in with your Turkish Apple ID, download OneDrive from the app store. If you already have OneDrive installed using your Australian Apple ID, proceed to Part 4

Part 4 - Subscribing to Microsoft 365

  1. Boot up the OneDrive app and sign up or sign in. Click on Menu > Upgrade to Premium. You should be able to see Turkish Lira prices for monthly subscriptions.

    Where are the annual subscription options? You will not see any annual subscriptions, nor be able to subscribe to it directly from the app, as Microsoft hasn't loaded any annual options into Apple's In-App Purchases

    Still seeing Australian prices? Restart your device

  2. Subscribe to your desired plan. Apple will deduct from your Apple ID Balance as payment each month

    Note: If you've never signed up to a plan before, Microsoft will offer you a free 1-month trial, followed by monthly Turkey prices thereafter

  3. You’re done! Enjoy your subscription :)


Instructions to get 6TB Storage with client-side encryption — guide by @jasonxc

WARNING: If you make 6 new Microsoft accounts for this, there is a good chance Microsoft will disable one or more of them soon after they are made because they trigger the account spam filter. This will also cause the rclone union to stop working. When this happens, you just log back into them on your browser and follow the prompts. You will likely be asked to add a phone number or secondary email for security/recovery, and it will start working again once you do.

  1. Buy the Microsoft 365 Family Plan for ₺23,99 (instructions for this above, via ISP's guide)

  2. Make five more Microsoft Accounts, and link them to your Family in the Microsoft Account Settings (under Share Subscription)

  3. Download rclone for your operating system https://rclone.org/downloads/

Assuming you're on Windows, extract the rclone .zip to your user folder (C:\Users[YourUsername])

For creating a Onedrive Remote in rclone:

  1. Open Start Menu (or hit Windows Key), type 'cmd' to open a cmd command prompt

  2. Type rclone config and hit enter.

  3. Type n and enter to create a new remote. Enter a name for the remote. Then type onedrive and hit enter to create a onedrive remote.

  4. Hit enter four times in a row (skipping client_id, client_secret, region and advanced config).

  5. It will then ask you to login to your Onedrive account with a browser. Enter y, login and allow permission for your rclone to access onedrive.

  6. After authenticating in your browser, enter 1, 0, y, y for the remaining choices in the rclone cmd. For further help, see https://rclone.org/onedrive/

  7. Repeat these exact steps 5 more times for each account in your Microsoft Family.

For creating a Union Remote in rclone:
This is for combining all 1TB Accounts into one pool.

  1. Open Start Menu (or hit Windows Key), type 'cmd' and hit enter to open a cmd command prompt

  2. Type rclone config, hit enter and create another new remote. Again, give it a name: UnionOneDrive / OneDriveUnion / whatever

  3. Type union and hit enter

  4. Type the names of all the onedrive remotes you created with a colon at the end of each and separated by spaces. For example, if you called them onedrive1, onedrive2, etc, you would type: onedrive1: onedrive2: onedrive3: onedrive4: onedrive5: onedrive6: and hit enter. Optionally you can use a directory if you want the union to operate in a single directory (onedrive1:box onedrive2:box etc)

  5. For action_policy, create_policy, search_policy, cache_time and advanced config, just hit enter for all (for more information on what these do, see https://rclone.org/union/ )

  6. Type y and hit enter to finish creating the union remote.

For creating an encrypted directory:

  1. Open Start Menu (or hit Windows Key), type 'cmd' and hit enter to open a cmd command prompt.

  2. Type rclone config, hit enter and create another new remote. Again, give it a name: secure / private / whatever

  3. Type crypt and hit enter.

  4. For the remote, type the name of your union with a colon, and postfix a directory name. For example onedriveunion:secure or onedriveunion:box or UnionOneDrive:files. It doesn't matter what you call the directory on the right, just so long as the remote on the left is the name of your Union remote.

  5. Type 1 and enter twice.

  6. For password, you can either let rclone generate a password, or generate your own using something like openssl or bitwarden. If you enter your own, just make sure it's a very strong 50+ character generated password. If you generate, specify at least 256 bits.

  7. For password2 (salt) repeat the previous step (do not skip). Make sure it's a different password from step 22.

  8. Hit enter to skip advanced config then y to confirm the remote.

Create shortcuts to easily mount the cloud storage:

  1. Open (or create) a folder anywhere on your computer. For example Documents\Scripts

  2. Right click > Create a new text document, and name it something like MountSecureDrive.bat (make sure the extension is .bat and not .txt)

  3. Edit the .bat file with a text editor like notepad++ (or just notepad) and paste in the following:

C:\Users\[MyUsername]\rclone mount --vfs-cache-mode full --volname "OneDrive Secure" onedrive1: *
PAUSE

Once you have finished editing, save the document.

  1. Right click the .bat file > Create Shortcut. Give it a name, optionally an icon, and move it to your desktop or wherever. Any time you want to mount your storage, click the shortcut. To dismount, you just close the cmd window.

If you completed all that, you now have easy access to 6TB client-side encrypted cloud storage accessible with a single click.

      Thats why it clearly stats iOS on the deal page and requires an Apple ID…..

      Contribute nothing, expect everything. Well done! Have a neg vote

  • +1

    As always OP, thank you for the work you do. Confirmed working as at 30/09.

  • I've downloaded the one drive app "prior" to purchasing turkish lira, and only had the option to upgrade to Microsoft 365 Personal (not family). Storage upgrades do appear to be registering as turkish lira.

    I have no other accounts on the one drive, but did use a "current' hotmail address as my Microsft sign in account. I'm definitely still in the Turkish Apple ID on the app store.

    Anyone else seen something similar? I think I'm doing something wrong, but would prefer to see if I can load it prior to purchasing Lira.

    EDIT: I opened a new Microsoft account, and used an older phone to download one drive to get the Family option. now waiting for my lira to go into the Apple account. Just leaving the above comment up incase anyone sees the same thing.

  • +3

    Thanks worked for me. So handy having an old iPhone around with the Turkey account lol

    • +1

      That’s actually a good idea

  • hi OP, I tried this method last year and went with Personal 1TB option. Thanks heaps for that.
    Now I want to upgrade to Family option. Is there a quick step guide I can do an in-place upgrade without losing any data?

    • Send me a PM with your login and I’ll see if I can help

  • This is such a good deal but seems useless to anyone who only has an android phone?

    Or can this be setup using a laptop / computer and an android phone?

    Edit I have a really old iphone that perhaps I could use just to get it setup. My main goal is to use the storage to back up all media from an android phone onto one drive.. I am sick of google one and the play store region restrictions..

  • Whoops… got the whole way to the end to realise that you cant download one drive on an iphone 7. Glad I only spent 3 bucks on 50 lira…

    • +1

      In case you're still looking to do this, you can get access to an iOS device remotely and complete the required steps on there in only a few minutes.
      It's what I had to do as I don't have an iOS device, nor easy access to one.

      Not endorsed as I can't remember what service I used but something like BrowserStack will let you remotely connect to an iOS device, do your OneDrive steps and then log off of your account and everything else can be completed on a normal computer.

      • Thanks. So how would this work exactly? I have gotten as far as adding the 3 dollars to my itunes account on my old iphone 7 but I cant download one drive on it now.

        So what would be my next move? Thanks

        Can i use an app like browerstack to connect to a IOS Iphone 15. Then do I login in with my turkish intunes account. Download onedrive and complete steps on that IOS device via Brower stack?

        Is it safe to login to my turkish itunes account on the ios devices via browserstack? thanks

  • +1

    It worked. thank you so much.

  • Is there a way to lock in these prices by paying in advance?
    like the annual subscription ones for $99

    Since this subscription is monthly, there is a high chance it will go up in price like every other monthly subs out there.
    It may catch on and they may have a huge jump in price.

    • F

    • No way to prepay, it is monthly only.
      And it's possible they'll increase it at some point however it's been working for a few years at this price, even if it does increase it's a good saving for as long as it does last.

  • +1

    Thanks OP!!! Can confirm it works as of 4th of Oct.

  • Still having issues trying to see the option for family. Its only giving me personal options. Send help 😭

    • Send me your login details and I’ll see on my end if it changes.

      • I’ll pm you the details

  • -1

    I had my subscription cancelled by Apple for this. Wasted a Turkish gift card in the process.

    How are you guys getting this to work?

    Please DM if you can.

  • Ok so I got a billing warning as my apple credit ran out, topped it up with another turgame gift card. Apple account now in credit, but the app store won't process the payment from the account credit. It's now insisting on a credit card, which I can't add as I don't have a turkish one (looks like my aussie cc is geofenced).
    Anyone have any way around this? It looks like a show stopper to me.

    • interest to know if you got it fixed?

      • no, could not get it fixed.

  • All six Microsoft accounts are/were locked for me now, it happened some time over the last couple of weeks (I've been away).

    I got two unlocked, but the other four won't let me use the same mobile phone to unlock.

    I'll give it time to see if that gets me past some kind of detection

    • A few hours later, two more worked using the same phone number, so it seems like it's some kind of short term threshold detection of how many accounts a mobile has been used for

      • Got them all activated, but only five were accepted on the one phone number, I had to use a second number for the sixth.

        My big concern will be if this becomes a regular occurrence. Logging in and regenerating tokens is labourious.

  • Have you tried this approach with India? The Scrooge McDeal process for Apple TV continues to work for me and this looks pretty similar.
    I already have an Indian Apple ID.

    • I also want to know if you can use it for Apple India. Can anyone confirm the price from India, and the detail instructions?
      Thanks.

  • Confirmed working for me on 2/11.

    I went with personal, since I only needed the one 365 licence, so more than happy to pay like $8 a year for it!

  • Is there anyway we can automate the payment process as buying credits manually and what not while I’m travelling or something will block all my services?

    • Just preload a whole bunch

  • Is it possible to do this on a Macbook without an iPhone?
    The Mac is my only Apple product

    • Give it a try and find out? I'm sure you can load gift cards. Unsure whether there is a one drive app that will let you upgrade/purchase the plan.

      • +1

        M1 and higher Macs can run iOS apps natively

  • Lol wtf I get your account cannot be created every time for the last hour

    tried opera safari firefox edge all same problem. Tried with VPN to turkey…

    What’s the way around this weird shiii

  • Thanks OP! Used Eneba to purchase gift card. It warns you card can only be used in Turkey. For those that are first time purchasing it’s ok to proceed as you’re adding it to your Turkish Apple ID. When adding to your App Store it will ask to verify account as you’ve never used this Apple ID with App Store.
    I did it on an old iPhone and worked perfectly. Thanks to previous comments, I’ll now use this old phone for any other purchases.

  • I have been using this for the better part of a year however I woke up this morning to Onedrive notification saying that i am using free Tier and need to subscribe. I checked on iTunes ( I don't own an iPhone anymore and have just been topping up my Turkish account with Tukish Itunes Cards) and it says that I'm still subscribed - last billed 11th Nov.

    Is anyone else having this issue?

    • Yes I am too. It won’t let me resubscribe either

  • This is great! What happens to files if i let my existing account subscription stop (for say a few days)- will it keep the data for when I renew a subscription?

  • Wondering if this is still working?

    • I just signed up for this on Saturday and it appears to be working. First month is free so we will see what happens in January when the first payment is due.

  • This deal just got better and better with MS putting the price up for the family renewal up $40 to $179!!!!

    • Yeah, I stacked few years before for wife's business..also running this on my other devices. Don't want hers to shut down.

  • Thanks so much OP. It’s still running today!

    After creating the new Microsoft office account (and paid in TRY) in iPhone, when I try to add that Microsoft account in computer, at first they said there was an error and prevent me from doing that (maybe because my husband’s school Microsoft account had just stopped and they may only allow me to do that after some time?).

    However, I then open incognito in chrome and log into the Microsoft office again (in chrome) , then I am able to open Word in computer and sign in using the newly created Microsoft account.

    I can then start to use Microsoft office in my computer now! : )

  • I need Access for database applications. It seems the MS 365 family or personal do not include Access.
    Is there anyway there way that I can get Access or any other database app?
    thank you for advice.

  • Anyone had issues creating a new Apple Account for Turkey? I tried few times but always had the same result "Your account cannot be created at this time." This is what shows after entering the code I receive on my phone and click continue. I used a new email account while for phone, I used my Australian mobile#. Anyone can help please.

    • I thought this might help some people although this didn't work for me:

      If the error message "The Apple ID cannot be created at this time" appears, try creating it through the Apple TV app or the Apple Music app. Alternatively, you can also do it via icloud.com (Sign in > Create Apple Account).

  • Just bought an iphone 6s. Apparently onedrive needs ios 17 so cannot use 6s for this.

    So anyone know if it's possible to switch from Microsoft 365 Family to Microsoft 365 Family Classic (ie. the non-Copilot version) via iOS subscription?

    Received an email from Microsoft this morning.

    Effective 14 February 2025, the price for Microsoft 365 Family subscriptions will increase from TRY 309.99* per month to TRY 409.99* per month. To continue with the new price, no action is needed—your payment method on file will be automatically charged. To make changes to your subscription plan or turn off recurring billing, visit your Microsoft account at least two days before your next billing date.

    • Yeah I got the same on 18/01/2025. Interesting given we aren't paying TRY 309.99 to start with.

      The invoice email from Apple I received on 15/01/2025 has the correct TRY 23.99 amount on it.

      Not really sure what to do about this. May cancel it and renew it again after 14/02/2025 to see what it does.

      Anyone know if Apple provides a future charges type summary so we can see what is coming up?

      • Haven't received the email. Mine renews 8th and says TRY23.99, perhaps they changing after that one.

      • +2

        Apple does provide a email notification when a subscription price increases. I got one for a YouTube increase a few months ago, and it was 26 days in advance of the increased price. I reckon wait it out for that email. Because the price we are on appears to be a price error (Personal and Family are cheaper than Basic) there is a chance that it will not actually increase. Either way, don’t contact Microsoft to ask about it, as it could kill the whole deal.

        • I’m bit confused the huge price increase for personal subscription is that correct? Turkish locals are meant to cough up that increase cause for us we can look elsewhere but they will get caught with this.

          • +1

            @justanick: There’s a few different things at play. I can only really speak to the Family subscription as that’s what I’m on, and I got the same email that jasoooon posted above. It says that the Family price is increasing from TRY 309.99* per month to TRY 409.99* per month. However, we are actually only paying TRY 23.99 per month. This makes me think that there is a price error, and if we were paying the correct price it would be 309.99.

            The other thing at play is Microsoft have increased their prices by ~50% worldwide for Microsoft 365. They added in some AI features and have gouged everyone. People that pay Microsoft directly can go through an option to cancel their subscription and will be offered the previous price without the AI. For us paying through Apple there may not be that option, however again I think it’s worth waiting it out, because it’s possible we might stay locked into the old price error price.

            • +1

              @Hargain Bunter: Thanks mate please keep us posted as I’ll cancel if that price hits me.

              • @justanick: Just reading Apple’s developer docs they say that monthly subscriptions must have 27 days notice, else the subscription will continue at the old price. Also for increases of over 50% and $5, which this one would be, are all opt in. So you will have to agree to the new price before it will get charged to your account. It sounds quite safe, and there shouldn’t be any bill shocks.

            • +1

              @Hargain Bunter: I cancelled my subscription and it hasn’t expired yet. I’ve just been offered two months for the price of one (229.99 TRY for 2 months). Still not gonna take it up. I’ve still got 200GB free thanks to Telstra, I’ll just have to delete some stuff.

              • @sween64: Did you cancel this through the apple subscription and it gives you a deal to stay back with a discount? I got the email like others and I’m waiting to see if my Turkey account gets charged the new price in Feb.

                • @justanick: I got the email and the iOS Settings app confirmed the price hike, I cancelled via the iOS settings app. The discount was displayed a few days later in the iOS OneDrive app.

                  • @sween64: Ah dang! Sad to hear you got confirmation from Apple of the increase. Mine Turkish Apple account isn’t showing yet, but my renewal date is 19 Feb, so it might come in the following month. Which plan are you on?

    • +1

      Just got the email:

      Subscription Price Increase

      Microsoft 365 Personal (1 month)
      New ₺229,99 — Old ₺15,99
      Starting 27 February 2025

      • Just got the same email too. That's like $10 per month.

  • +1

    What do we do next?

  • Can anyone suggest where to go from here? How much is it from Australia? If it’s $10/m from Turkey and same as AUS I rather give my money to Aus.

    • It's $16 AUD a month now, but I think that's because they added Copilot to the subscription. I guess it's still technically cheaper? I'm probably just going to move to Google One though, as I only used the cloud storage bit.

      • I use Cloud as storage as well.
        1. Is there an easy way to migrate everything from one drive to Google storage?
        2. I got Turkey Google one 200GB it’s very cheap so far. I hope the price doesn’t skyrocket.

  • Anyone got a work around? Got notified today of change, any cheap regions ?

  • Mine got renewed today TRY 23.99. Next payment March 8. No increase (when looking under apple sub). Or they email few days after the renewal with increase.

    • This is after they sent the email of the price increase?

      • Don't think I received an increase email. Still says same price on Apple and just took out 23.99

        • Only price increase email was for YouTube end last year going up to TRY 104 or whatever it was.

          I haven't shared with anyone with this account even though family plan. Got Australian family too that using for business, stacked few years. Didn't want that to go down worst case.

          • @Mikael: I’m really confused now. Are they targeting certain people or this price hike is for everyone? I’m on their personal plan and it’s a huge increase but looks like they didn’t increase your family plan.

            Should I try upgrading to family plan at least it’s not going to be 229.99 from 15.99 Lira?

            • @justanick: No idea. But I'm not touching it. And not adding more to family. Update here if changes.

            • @justanick: Also got the same email today. Increase

  • +1

    I went to my Turkey sub and saw this
    “ Subscription Price Increase
    The developer, Microsoft Corporation, is raising its subscription price from €15,99 per month to t229,99 per month, starting 28 Feb 2025.
    Cancel Subscription”

    • I got the same email on Sunday. Then today I got a second one saying it will increase from 229,99 to 329,99

      • What? So from 15.99 to 229.99 and again 329,99 all within a months notice.

        • Yep! I was so confused so I came here to check if others received the same price increase email. Sigh…

          —-
          EDIT:

          Email received on Sunday 9 Feb:

          Effective 14 February 2025, the price for Microsoft 365 Personal subscriptions will increase from TRY 229.99* per month to TRY 329.99* per month.

          I’m even more confused now.

          • @BargainShopaholic: Today I got my email too. From 309.99 to 409.99. but I pay 23.99. not sure what's going on. In subscriptions still says 23.99. I wait until getting closer to renewal 8th march to see if changed and if not I let it go over and see if new price and take screenshot day before.

  • We all got emails but did they actually start to charge the increase?

    • Cannot see increase in subs. Same price there. Gonna check before renewal. If increased there i cancel. Otherwise screenshot and let it renew.

      • Mine shows an increase to 229,99 per month for the Personal plan

        • Mine hasn't yet. Think said after 14th so suspect will update then. Got email the other day. If so just cancel. Used it mainly for spare. Haven't even shared it with anyone. Got an Australian family plan already because business and don't want that to go down or blocked.

          • @Mikael: Today is the day mate let us know

            • @justanick: Meant, my plan increase haven't been reflected on iOS sub yet with new price. My current sub renews 8th march. Think said price increase from 14th Feb in email. But bet it will be expensive soon.

              And probably ctackdown on Turkish ios. Better use the try so not get stuck like the Xbox did. Got TRY 800 there i cannot use as "incorrect region" got some good games prior though and got ultimate another year and half left.

              • @Mikael: you need to connect your xbox to turkey (vpn, proxy, dns service….)
                And use it for at least a week that way.
                You'll be able to use your 800 TRY then.

                Took 9 days for my account to get unblock. I used ControlD.
                Will get blocked again as soon as you connect with your real IP though.

                • @alusawa: @alusawa Great news. So you just checked randomly after a week and then it worked on day 9. Hopefully NORD works. Otherwise use the 30 day trial from ControlD
                  Would be great to finally use my leftovers

                  • @Mikael: @alusawa
                    Checked out ControlD. Need full plan so gonna cost as much as what i got in Xbox store. Might sign up for a month.

                    • @Mikael: Signed up and paid a month.
                      When checking it says I'm in Kenya and not turkey.

                      • @Mikael: Worked. And was able to buy directly using Android browser. Didn't have to wait. Downloading the games on my Xbox now. Thanks.

                          @Mikael: nice. Had to wait 9 days for my account.
                          Took a little bit longer for a friend.

                          You can also check xbox-now discord. They have several tips if needed. Some to avoid getting blocked again

  • Following to check if there’s any price increases

      Mine just renewed today for 23.99 TRY. Now it says continues 17 March, still at 23.99 TRY.

      • Same for me (family plan). Mine renewed today @ 23.99 TRY, valid until 20 March. time to put a monthly reminder to check it remains unchanged.

  • Has anyone on Family plan actually had an increase, or a notification from Apple (not Microsoft) that their subscription is changing?
