was posted earlier by @M00Cow in the forum section. Disney+ Launched in Turkey

Tried it myself and got it working.

The steps

* create a new google account on your mobile phone (this prevents the mobile number verification)
* add a new payment method on Google Pay using a Turkey address. (to be safe, inform your bank/cc provider so that they dont block your card.)
* install BlueStacks 5.0 on PC.
* activate VPN - Turkey location.
* launch Play Store app and sign in using your new Turkish google account.
* install Disney+ app and create a new account.
* pay using Google Pay

update update update:
no vpn required.


Thanks to fishbomb's comment I was able to get this to work without even needing a VPN.

  1. Create new Google account on phone
  2. Delete cache in Google Play Store (not sure if needed)
  3. Select new account in Google Play Store
  4. Add payment method and select Turkey as Country.
  5. Uninstall Disney+ if you have it installed.
  6. Open Google Chrome/browser on your phone in an incognito window. Set your window to desktop mode.
  7. Search Disney+ on Google Play store in your browser.
  8. Log in on new account and remote install Disney+ to your phone
  9. Open app on phone and pay in TRY.

        • And is this message shown on google pay or disney+? "Your transaction can’t be completed. To continue this transaction, use a different payment instrument or contact us"

          • @mizt0ry: Disney+

            • +1

              @thefluffyduff: Not sure if this will fix the issue but try these steps:
              1. Use a card from wise, it worked for me
              2. Check the address in your google account's payment profile. If there is a payment profile with australian address, remove it.
              3. Check the cards you added in your google account. In payment methods check if the payment methods you're using require verification or not.
              4. Clear disney+ app's data and create a new account (not the one you had issues with).

              • @mizt0ry: Thanks mate, really appreciate the effort you’ve gone to. Alas I had already tried these things. That will be it for me for tonight at least.
                For what it’s worth, according to the NAB chat team, the “transaction has been declined based on known fraud profiles” “59. Suspect Fraud. Decline”.

                Not sure if that explains Wise too, as others have been able to use it successfully.

                Anyway, it’s tomorrows problem now.
                Thanks again

                • @thefluffyduff: Its most likely the banks then, I had a similar issue with Up when I tried to use my card to get YouTube premium. I asked them to remove the mastercard block & allow the transaction and I was able to purchase YT premium after that.

  • Works like a charm. I love it when we can stick it to greedy companies like Disney

    • did you use the vpn or non-vpn method?

      • Non VPN method

  • Anyone managed to log in to smart tv, Samsung tv disney app login always unsuccessful.

    Open the disney app on the tv
    Asked me to log on to disneyplus.com/begin on mobile
    Entered the code on mobile and logged successfully
    Some cryptic turkish saying I am not successful….

    • Strange, I can confirm it works on my LG TV

      • I also have no problem with firestick and google chromecast TV

        • Ditto, works normally when loggin into the CCwGTV Disney+ App, and on all devices once the subscription has been paid for. Only once have seen that 'it looks like you're traveling' message.

    • I managed to get it working by logging on a computer / mac

  • I create a new google account but it doesn't accept any of my credit cards and visa cards. Does anyone face the same issue?

    • Same and I've used my Citibank card which I use when traveling as well.

  • If I don’t have an Android phone and I don’t want to go through a complicated process of doing it on iphone, are there any alternates? Can it be done on a laptop?

    • +1

      I am not sure but you can try create google account on computer, add payment method make sure use Turkey address, use VPN on iPhone to download Turkey disney plus app and register and pay with google play.

      But I am not 100% sure, I found that the most important must use Turkey's disney plus app to sign up and no need to use VPN during payment, it may show A$ but the actual google pay amount will be in TRY

  • My TV had Disney+ pre-installed but I have never actually activated it. I have a VPN on it already, so does that mean that if I pointed the VPN to Turkey, started Disney+, then I could bypass all the fooling Play store and proceed to a bargain basement checkout in Turkish lira?

    • +1

      NO, payment method was where the trouble from and have to use Turkey's app

  • needed to use a vpn but final got it to work

  • +2

    Did someone figure out how to do it with apple? otherwise i can write something up. its actually fairly easy.

    • If you have a simple way without buying TL iTunes cards, yeah, please share :-)

      • Nah only with buying tl cards

        • +2

          Go ahead and share. Helps other Aussies trying the method locally rather than the euro instructions.

  • +1

    I also got the Google Play purchases are not supported in your country.
    This is how I solve my issue
    - make sure my cc is registered under new gmail account with turkey address
    - after adding the new account to google play, remove other google accounts from the device and leave only the new account only
    - install the Disney+ app from chrome browser as mentioned in other thread using the new account
    - I open the app and it shows turkey pricing, hit signup using new email and new password
    - I initially get spinning icon only, then I bring up turkey vpn and it connect and ask for google pay cc and enter google password.
    - now I need to disconnect my vpn before hitting the payment button (ot else it stuck)
    - now I am registered and payment appear on my cc

    Hope this helps. But it may or May not work for everyone. Worth a shot

    • Thanks for your help! That did work for me.

  • Signed up successfully but not without hiccups.
    I followed devize’s instruction to the T and after I entered my sign up email (the Google email I created to pay in TRY) and password, it threw the ‘Disney Plus is not available in your region’ error. (I was on CyberGhost VPN set to Turkey). I tried restarting the phone and repeat the sign up process but to no avail. I then restarted the phone again and turned off the VPN then load the Disney+ app and it still showed TRY pricing. I proceeded to sign up to see what would happen and it got me to the payment page after entering the previous email address and password. It then got me through to Google payment and accepted my Master debit card without problem.

    So, if you encounter the Disney+ unavailable or Google pay region issues, it is likely that the Disney+ app doesn’t like your VPN. If the Disney+ app still shows TRY pricing, then it is worth a try to turn your VPN off and repeat the sign up step.

    • +3

      You didn't follow my instructions to a T then because VPN not needed ;)

      • +1

        My bad! I didn’t mean to :(
        I also didn’t link your comment properly in my previous comment!! :((

  • after registering can i watch it with my TV without any hiccups?

    Apple Method to get Disney Plus:

    1. Create a new apple account under: appleid.apple.com/tr-tr
      I used a VPN for that step but might also work without.
      You will also need a turkish address and a phone number but there I just just my australian one.
      Here you get a turkish address: https://www.bestrandoms.com/random-address-in-tr

    2. Buy some Itunes cards on eneba for example
      https://www.eneba.com/store?af_id=mydealz&text=Itunes%20Turk…
      You will need 350TL worth of cards. The cheapest way is buying a lot of 25tl cards.

    3. on your Iphone log in with your turkish apple Id. Appstore->top right profile pic ->scroll down-> log out and log in again with your turkish

    4. add your vouchers to your account. appstore.com/redeem/XJF8CMNTY24XXXXX

    5. Download Disney app and buy the yearly one with your credit. After that you can switch back to your australian apple id.

    I did exactly that and it works. Costs around $34 at the end due to buying the cards.

    • Phew! Finally…
      After almost giving up on Google's methode. Thanks PefDef; almost more than 1 hour of labour but save more than my award wage rate :)
      Time well worth spent. Haha.

    • Thanks! What happens in 12 months time?
      Did you add AUS credit card in the Turkey Apple ID?
      Or will you be topping up with gift cards?

    • Worked wonderfully! Thank you so much :)

    • I tried to follow your steps, but my payment kept getting declined on eneba ☹️ I tried with (Transfer)Wise and a few other cards.

      I’m going to give up. Sigh

    • +1

      Thanks! Worked for me. Got the cards directly in https://www.turgame.com

    • Thank you. It works!

    • Thanks for your instructions!

      It worked, but honestly quite an annoying process signing in and out of Apple ID across multiple devices. Glad it's sorted for a year, and I imagine by adding more gift cards to the account in a years time will make the renewal process very easy.

    • OMG it worked!!
      Thank you so much OP!!!!

    • Thanks so much for sharing this PefDef! Your instructions were spot on.

      For anyone who's interested, I was able to buy 7x 50 TL iTunes cards from MTC Game for $31.01 and pay in Australian dollars, thus avoiding any foreign transaction fees.

      https://www.mtcgame.com/en-AU/apple-store/itunes-hediye-kart….

      The keys took about an hour to come through, so I recommend setting up an account first, in case there are any issues.

      I had no problems making the purchase in AUD while I was still using Nord's Turkish server, but the site seemed to play up when I turned it off.

    • It still works for me! Cheers!

  • No luck. Failed so many times Wise won't let me generate virtual cards anymore :-/

    • I believe you can generate 3 wise virtual cards. Is it the same for your case?

      • Yes, I think they limited how many can have. But can't generate/replace a card now. They locked it.

        • Oh I see. So you mean you can't just delete one and add a new one back in?

        • You are allowed to create 3 digital cards per day. I thought I had a problem too til I realised I had changed the Country on my Wise card to Turkey. The digital card is only available in UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Switzerland, Canada, Brazil or EEA.
          Ref: https://wise.com/help/articles/5O9VNQR4wt3iXwV0Dmm6zB/how-do…

          So you may need to check your card address if you changed it like I did

  • For those with payment card issues, I created a one time card using Zip pay and that worked as well. I added the payment card to the Turkish Google account.

  • Used prepaid Mastercard from BWS birthday dance and followed Devise's instructions. Worked perfectly!

  • Confirm this works for Surfshark

  • How many tv can you watch Disney plus? Like Netflix has limit of 4

  • I still have my free 12 month trial from Telstra. Wonder if i should sign up for one of these accounts in case the loophole gets blocked? Or unlikely since it's the country's pricing which is the sticking point?

    • i'm sure they could make it a bit trickier to do?

  • So on my phone I'm only getting a maximum of HD picture quality, will 4K be available if I log in to the Disney+ app on my Shield TV unit?
    (currently already running a Disney+ subscription on my Shield so not wanting to log everyone out to test)

    • +1

      Yes, was watching some content last night on my Shield and it was in 4K Dolby Vision.

      • Yep, can confirm.

  • +1

    Has anyone tried the steps on Google Chromecast/tv or smart tv? I always get “purchase not supported” in the last step of payment.

    • I have same problem, dont know why

  • Worked for me using surfshark VPN. Couldn't get it to work without this. Also had to use airplane mode and location turned off. Paid with zip single use card. Awesome deal. Thanks very much op 👍

  • Absolute nightmare to get this working. Solution for me was created new Google account in BlueStacks and add payment in BlueStacks. I then used Turkey proxy to download Disney app. Turned proxy off and loaded app in BlueStacks. Prices showed AUD but like others when posting turkey lira was displayed. It worked but doesn't many hours.

    • +1

      After trying some of the step by steps solutions mentioned in this post, this is exactly also how I finally made it work.
      It seems that adding a fake Turkey address in Google Pay helped (although it's optional in the registration process).

  • Worked for me as using @device's instructions without VPN needed and paid with Coles master gift card.

  • Tried many times with and without vpn. Still getting the “purchase not supported” error

  • +1

    Thanks! Followed the prompts and it worked with no issues. Saved me a bunch of $$ and now I concurrently live in Australia, India (Youtube premium), and Turkey (Disney+)!

    • You should change YT from India to Argentina

  • +5

    Finally…. after trying so many different tips/tricks/steps manage to get it. Reach to a level of frustration to think that it won't work at all, but finally it did.
    Have spent more worth in time then the amount I saved, but it's not about money, it's a challenge to an Oz-bargainer, isn't it?

    My learnings (not claiming they are 100% accurate), hoping it may help someone who are still struggling.

    If you have VPN, it's good, but no VPN is needed.
    The key and most important part is to have a google account linked to play store having a payment method added with "Turkey" address.
    Create a new account either on mobile or desktop and try to add any credit card as payment method using any Turkey billing address.
    Once this is done, add this account to your play store. Remove any other account to make sure it uses this account payment method when you try to signup.
    For samsung phones if available, use secret folder which is a different profile and behaves as a another phone, so you don't need to mess up with your current play store.
    I think you can download Disney+ app from anywhere and it should not matter, but to be on safe side, either download it using Turkey VPN, or remotely install it from desktop using your new turkey google account.
    So basically when you have…
    1) Play store setup with Google account having payment method using Turkey billing address
    Either remove any other google account, or use any old phone, or use secrete folder/profile available on some Samsung phone, but your play store should have only 1 google account with turkey billing/payment method.
    2) Disney+ app install (either via Turkey VPN or through desktop using turkey google account)
    You are good to go…
    While you try to sign-up, make sure no VPN is connected, clear data/cache of play store and Disney app to avoid any hiccups.
    It should pick the google play store payment method and should charge in TRY.

    If you are getting any errors at the final payment stage, and it's showing amount in TRY, most likely the issue is with your bank or card. Either it's blocked or restricted to be used for international transactions.
    I was able to add my Revolt card without any issue to my google account, but it failed at the payment stage. Tried to add CBA and it won't allow me to add. For my Amex, it didn't add at first instance giving me error, but after few attempt, manage to add it. Finally manage to pay using my Amex.

    So focus on getting google account to setup a payment method with Turkey method, that's the most important step.

    Good luck, those who are still struggling.

    All this seems way more effort than usual. Don't want another country Google account, phone number etc. Don't mind using a VPN to watch something (like with HBO max).

    Probably just get another trial when the next Mandalorian out.

    • Not that difficult and you can remove it from google pay after subscribed because it is for 1 year not monthly.

      • Yeah probably worth a go then, sounds like you don't need the VPN to watch and can use the Disney+ app natively on the Google TV.
        It's Just the bogus Google account/name/address to do.

        • +2

          Just did it and it was very quick and easy.

          The longest part was signing in with the new Disney+ account details for all the devices. Also it works as per normal on our LG smart TV's - no need for a VPN.

  • ok, was JUST about to give up after trying amex, visa and ING.
    then I thought what the heck, just try an amex supplementary card, then it worked!
    I agree with above that it's bank and card dependent, very finicky indeed depending on cards!

    • made me think that's probably why I couldn't get my Netflix turkey method to work. might try supplementary cards.

  • My credit card was charged for ~A29. I got error code 93. Due to suspicious activity from this account, we have blocked your access.

  • I am stuck 😭at setting up payment in Google account with a Turkey adress getting error when I try to save cc with address can any one help🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

    • Address error or bank error?

      • Error advices to use other payment method

        • In that case more like bank error, so you have Turkey's address in Google pay and no other google account in it?

          • @superforever: I have removed all Google account

            • @KalG: Payment method?

              • @superforever: Cc both visa & master card

                • @KalG: Just make sure not other google a/c and payment method, only leave the Turkey one with Turkey address, if still can't pass google pay verification, may be your bank.

  • I just wish I was more tech savvy I am really struggling. Have Disney + already as an app think my son signed up for a month … so I delete that? Any help appreciated ….

  • I wonder if the renewal will bill in Turkey again?

  • Followed @devize's instructions on bluestacks and worked!
    (I tried on my old android phone and actually was not able to get past the payment screen in app)

  • Will it just be easier for me if I'm traveling to Turkey in a couple of weeks? :P

    • if I'm traveling to Turkey in a couple of weeks?

      Payment method is the problem not where you are.

  • Not sure if it’s just me but the content rating for profile is limited to Ga 7+ 13+ and 18+
    Not sure how to edit the profile with aust rating that has M for 15+ for my teenager kids

    • They must be using Turkey's rating.

  • -1

    Imagine Turkey finds some natural resource and their Turkish Lira’s value skyrockets… all of us Ozbargains will go broke with Disney+, and Netflix.

    • +2

      prepaid for one year should be alright

  • Guys need help
    Getting transaction cannot ne completed try other payment method

    1) used 3 different cards : Amex citi and cba
    2) used two different google accounts
    3) cleared cache
    Rebooted the mobile still no luck

    • +1

      Try wise or revulo for virtual cards.

    • Check my comment below. It's got to do with your Google Pay Region.

  • This is too hard. Tried everything.

    If only there was an easier way to get all shows and movies that are on there. 😏

  • Has anyone tried this method with Tunisia instead? It's only $15 a year however when I use the app it says that Disney isn't available in your location.

  • any easy steps to do this from iPhone?

    • I followed PefDef and it worked.

      • keen to know how you plan on making the annual payment?
        signing in and out of an Apple ID on the iPhone is a major pain in the rear end…

      • What card did you use? Mine kept getting blocked on eneba
