    @Soarer Can you try youtube app?

    I had the same problem when using Web browsers like yourself. But it worked for me when I tried Tunnelbear app and youtube app

    Thanks for the tip.
    Tried it, but still doesn’t work. I’m in Peru according to TunnelBear and when I check my IP, but when I try renew in the app, it’s only giving me the euro (€) option.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,582 ✭✭✭Fingers Mcginty


    Have you received the email stating your membership will not renew automatically with a link to restart your membership? I waiting until i received that and then it worked fine. I created a virtuall revolut card and used that in the payment option.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Soarer


    No.

    Got the email to say I need to update my payment or it’ll no renew automatically. There are links to cancel member and sign up again, neither do anything.
    Just thinking. Probably need to be signed out if all devices I’m logged into, yeah?! That might take a while! 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,582 ✭✭✭Fingers Mcginty


    i'd wait until you get the email



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 447 ✭✭_John C


    Yes , you must wait until they cancel your membership and give you the option to restart it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Thanks lads.
    Got the first of those two emails, but not the second. YouTube with ads is complete eye aids. Dunno how anyone could use it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭recyclops


    When it comes to join family etc how does that work. Is it one person sets up gets everyone's email and gets revoluted a bit?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,622 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Tomorrow is when my next payment is due and I expect it won't go through. That will end my stay in India. Is there a handy place to check the prices across countries? Or should I just go with what people have said here and migrate to Peru?

    I just moved to Peru, family account is €8.21 a month. Went through fine, using Nord VPN



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 447 ✭✭_John C


    Payment just went through €8.51 😃

    Youtube account now says "Renews on Jan 21, 2025"

    Success



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,930 ✭✭✭Fann Linn


    Same here and thanks for that. Switched very easily to Peru also. Used the Irish embassy in Chile as the address and just added 00051 Lima postcode.

    I used the PIA VPN app .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 447 ✭✭_John C


    Peru population is exploding 😁

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,490 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Same price for Chile, payment due on Monday, will know more then.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,221 ✭✭✭Dr_Colossus


    Same as for Peru and Chile via TunnelBear, have tried numerous times and including above steps posted in post 3386 about uninstalling YouTube app from Android phone and logging in via a new browser I haven't used previously. Each time I get the "We couldn't verify your country" warning on YouTube.

    Thought it might be due to my YouTube account being logged in on some hub devices as well as YouTube Music but tried on a fresh YouTube account also to confirm and get the same issue. Looks more like an issue with TunnelBear VPN than anything else as don't think they have actual servers in Peru or Chile so surprisingly it's working for others. Tried a couple of other VPNs like Privado but they don't have Peru/Chile in the free app version.

    Tried Poland using TunnelBear and get PLN prices alright so that might be an interim fix but given I was probably 4-5 years in India that extra €2-3 saving per month wouldn't be long adding up so might have to sign up for an alternative VPN if there's confirmation some work.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,731 ✭✭✭CoBo55


    Maybe it's because we were in the final 30 days and hadn't actually been removed from premium is why it worked, that's the only thing I can think of that was different. I signed up the missus using the tunnelbear app and it worked perfectly, like myself she's in the final 30 days of Argentina.

    Used this method yesterday (was posted here by someone else - thanks to whoever it was!) and worked fine for me



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,221 ✭✭✭Dr_Colossus


    Yes, tried Chile also and everything there pointing to an address in Chile but then when I try to renew in either YouTube app or webpage it says they can't verify my country. Same process via Poland and get PLN prices via YouTube so all looks good there but would prefer the cheapest price (assuming it works long term) obviously

    Above point by @CoBo55 maybe has some merit as my Premium was cut off yesterday 21st so now I'm trying to sign up again rather than extend.

    Will keep plugging away as biggest gripe currently is YouTube Music with the adds and stalls asking for confirmation to continue as well as inability to work in background.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,564 ✭✭✭✭guil


    Tried the apple method with a 4K apple tv but can't find the option to subscribe in the youtube app



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,731 ✭✭✭CoBo55


    Try signing up to Poland then cancel and when in the cancellation period try moving to Peru.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,622 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Tried a few vpns and while I could get them to show Peru on Google homepage, none of them were able to verify country on YouTube site.

    Because of a cranky son, had to go ahead with move to Poland. €11.08 for family sub, nowhere near as bad as irish prices but still a jump from Indian prices.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,930 ✭✭✭Simi


    Yeah I had the same problem with Peru and Chile. It seems to be hit and miss who it works for. Went with Poland myself. It's 'only' 3 times the price of Argentina 😅

    Does Poland need to be done with Revolut card or can Visa debit work?.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,622 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Think any card will work. But Revolut has slightly better exchange rate...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,564 ✭✭✭✭guil


    Close to biting the bullet on Poland as well

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,186 ✭✭✭✭dodzy


    Easiest option. Very hit & miss with other locations / VPNs. We might be OK for the long haul, it being an established EU location and all that. No guarantees of course. €11 is not too bad, particularly if it's getting plenty of use by multiple members.

    MOD: I have gone back dozens of posts and all I see is the same as the post above. Please either explain what you are offering or stop posting.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 342 ✭✭MadDogGreener


    Just renewed with Poland after India finished yesterday. Took about two mins using tunnelbear on the phone.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,617 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    Tunnelbear not working on iOS here, would desktop be better?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,731 ✭✭✭CoBo55


    I assume he's offering premium, plenty seem to be happy with him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,227 ✭✭✭WestWicklow1


    You're not following the thread. Everyone, except you, knows he's offering places on his premium account.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,579 ✭✭✭con747


    I reckon a few have reported him for some reason. If it works out cheaper and people are happy to sign up via PM I don't see the issue. I'm sure he's making a few quid per sign up but at the end of the day if it's saving people money what's the problem. I see a hell of a lot worse on certain threads being allowed without question.

    Personally I think all of the account sharing posts for Youtube, Disney or whatever should be in the bargain Alerts Requests forum.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,579 ✭✭✭con747


    I think it's fairly dead over there though. Very few active places left the way the site has gone.

  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 15,209 Mod ✭✭✭✭whiterebel


    I went back a long way and couldn't find their original post. If new people come on to the thread they probably won't know either. They should explain what they are offering.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,579 ✭✭✭con747


    Scottie has been offering spots for months or longer so it's well known by regular followers of the thread. I have no idea how much he is charging people but it obviously is cheaper than a regular sub. I know a few have challenged him about what's been offered but I think that's for a PM discussion and if people are happy with the deal that's their choice.

    Has anyone got around the "we can't verify your country" message ? I've tried NORD VPN and Tunnel bear on Mac and windows when i go into renew membership I get local currency options in Peru ,Chile and UAE but when i try renew i get the "can't verify country message"

    When i try on iPhone i can't even get local currency options I just get Irish euro prices.

    If i click on the restart your membership link from e mail received from youtube i get offer not available when on iPhone and "couldn't verify country on laptop/macbook.

    Is it worth trying from an android phone?

    EDIT: Tried from an android phone same results.

    Any help appreciated.

    I signed up for peru account yesterday using tunnelbear on an android phone with no issues.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,597 ✭✭✭tossy


    Couldn't get Peru to work no matter what, signed up for Algeria using method described in post 3386 by ricimaki, works out at 11e per month so not too bad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,403 ✭✭✭ongarite


    Seeing as you have iPhone, use the Turkey new apple id method. It's the cheapest working sign up at the moment.

    Use Turgame or G2A to get iTunes gift cards to top up.

    I have a Xiaomi mobile which has a second space feature. Let's you have two separate setups on one phone.

    I downloaded tunnelbear and connected to moldovia. Set a new Google email. Downloaded YouTube and logged in with new email address. Bought YouTube premium paying with revolut normal. Got charged 99 Ukrainian which is 2.30 euro.

    Now running YouTube premium on my work desktop using the new email address, listening to music on night shift and ad free



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,490 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Confirmed Chile payment went through, 8.90 so more expensive than India but much cheaper than Ireland. Happy Christmas Google!

    There are 2 months free you tube available on the play store perks section



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,564 ✭✭✭✭guil


    I tried to redeem that yesterday but looks to be only for new subscriptions and can only be used in Ireland according to the terms



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭deadimmortal


    got a month YouTube premium for €3 from GTG and working okay so far.
    A year is €18 but not sure how trust worthy they are, so testing out a month.
