Update.

I realised that I renewed the YT music sub but it didn't apply to YT video account.

Went into YT video app. Upgraded there and it's working again.

Peru is nice 🙂

I'm paying family membership through Romania.

What's the best way to do the apple method? Do I cancel my Romanian membership and use the apple method straight away or must I wait until the month is up?

Thanks

If you're canceling to move, wait until the month is up - why would you give Google money twice in the same month? Take advantage of what you have paid for until it stops working…

wait until it is up

Got booted out of South Africa yesterday, been using that for a couple of years. (they'll only accept SA payment methods now apparently)

Didn't actually realise until I tried watching something on the TV on youtube this morning and ads came up. The horror.

Friend sent on this, worked this morning for them on an individual YouTube plan.

Been messing about with this all morning - managed to get signed up through Mexico. Not as cheap as some of the others at €6.48, but still less than half price.

• Put my VPN to Mexico
• Added a new Google payment profile with a fake Mexican address, changed this to my default.
• Added my Revolut card as the payment method.
• The country comes up as Mexico on the form when you're filling out your card details (which you can't change). I thought I'd chance my arm and added a Mexican Zip code and it worked.

Im fairly certain of the answer, but is there any way of using the iTunes voucher method if you don't have an iPhone, iPad etc. 🤔🤔

Just set it up on someone elses' iPhone / iPad. It's just the payment method you are linking to your account. Anyone in the house at home have one? It won't change anything to their iPhone or account. You'll be logging out of the apple account once you've it set up and linked to pay your YouTube.

Yes and you could vpn to India change your location on Amazon app to India and buy an apple voucher to cover you for a yr on your android device and provide them with code when needed. I’m sure if whoever helped got a spot on the family they’d be chuffed

Youtube cancelled my family subscription when I was paying in Indian rupees just after Christmas.

However, I was able to pay in rupees again under the same family account using the guide here:

Note: I didnt have to use a VPN at any stage, I did it all from the iPhone. I used the address of the Irish embassy in India.

Its costing about 3.50 euros a month.

I bought a 12 month premium subscription through one of the links for G2A.com but I don't know how to activate it? It gave me a Gmail address and password but when I go to YouTube I'm always logged in as my usual account.

Sorry I'm a bit clueless 🙈 Can anyone help please?

Go to YouTube App, Select your profile icon (Bottom right usually), click the little cog on the top right, select Switch Account, there is option to "+" account, select that and follow on screen instruction to log in.

Once you have done that, run YouTube with the new profile. There is no need to log out of account as with any google app, it allow you to log in multiple accounts, just need to use the appropriate profile in the app.

If following the iTunes method, just follow step by step. Main points are to create your new Turkish Apple ID, buy your Apple credit like you have done and purchase YouTube Premium while logged into your new Apple ID.

Once sorted, you can log back into your main Apple ID as normal and enjoy the premium. It’s not just on your phone either, my regular Irish Youtube login has premium so can watch in the same way on my YouTube TV app.

Payment for Peru came out again today with no issues. €5.41 not the cheapest there is but well worth it for no ads and background play.

I tried apple method today. Couldn't create an apple account, tried three different emails , on two different PC's , two different phone numbers.

I have an iPhone but I thought it will be easier to create an account on PC.

It didn't work, couldn't create apple account? Anyone else had same issue or it is just me ?

webpal

yes a few of us did, just keep trying in a few hours time

Using the iPad to renew with amazon india gift card just worked for me. Used my existing account, just changed the region/location through the App store. Worked out €4.32 per month for the family subscription. Just need to make sure I've enough in the account for the renewal each month. And got the Apple TV too! Happy days.

I used the turkey route.
I thought I could add my Turkish FUPS card to my Turkish App Store ID but no luck.

So bought 1300 lira from G2A.
went through the process as above all good.

One thing though that I don’t see mentioned, when I logged out of my apple account to sort this and then logged back in, all my Apple Pay cards had to be set up again.

Just incase it catches someone out.

ongarite

No need to fully log out. Just log out & sign in the App Store only.

Go to Account tab & then scroll to bottom to log out. Once credit is added, log into your main account again.

Peru and India failed me so I tried the above method and was successful. £2.92 for a family plan. Thanks for the above!

Turkey was giving me 105 lira for single or 210 lira for family.

About €2.85 or €5.70 give or take.
