7960

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.

    Turns out it has technically nothing to do with VPN and everything to do with the region that is set on your Google Play store account. If you already have a Google Play account with Turkey set as region then no need to go through any hassle of creating a new account. I used an old spare account because I had one and didn't want to go through phone number verification crap.

    Create a new account or use a pre-existing account and change Google Play Region to Turkey. You can change the region only once per 12 months.

    To check your region, go to your Google Play app —> Tap your profile (top right corner) —> General —> Account and device preferences. It would be the third field "Country and profiles" from the top on this screen.

    To set the region to Turkey you will need an android device which doesn't have any Google account setup on it (only temporarily). I used BlueStacks because I didn't have a spare device and it was pretty easy, just download and run on a computer. It just works.

    • Create a new Google Account (only if you don't have one that you can use for Turkey as region) using Gmail —> Profile —> Add another account. I checked and it didn't ask for a phone number in this situation. I used my Samsung note 10+ although decided to use an old account.

    • Open that spare android device/BlueStacks and login using this Google account.

    • Open Play store and install any free VPN which has Turkey available. I used Windscribe.

    • Activate VPN, and go to Google Play store (not Google Pay - very important)

    • Tap your profile (top right corner) —> Payment and subscriptions —> Payment methods

    • Tap Add credit or debit card. Here it would ask a question (if your VPN is working) to change region to Turkey. Change it and Add International Fee Free card. Make sure you select Turkey as country. It might give you an error if your card is already linked to another account. If that is the case, you will need to raise a case with Google to resolve this issue because it won't work even if you remove your card from the other account. Google support helped me out as I faced the same issue.

    • Once Payment methods with Turkey is added, you're pretty much done. Deactivate the VPN.

    • Install Disney Plus app on the spare android device using the Turkey account. You will see the TL 349.99 option immediately.

    • Activate Disney Plus as per your preferences.

  • Strange, i'm overseas right now and my disney+ won't work unless I turn on my VPN. Also i sometimes have to reconnect to a different server as it will detect i am outside of Australia.

    But this is a good deal if it is working for the 12 months. But just make sure you have VPN handy in case they decided to detect location.

  • Thank you everyone finnaly after 3 days it's done, special thanks to @deviize and @superforever

    • I think the most important is the Google a/c and google pay method (have to make sure only one Turkey Google a/c and one Turkey pay mothod) Turkey's Disney app I am not 100% sure if it is necessary because it will display Turkey's T&C because during Disney payment screen it will still show A$ but the actual Google pay screen will be in TRY (have to turn off VPN otherwise it will say Google pay not support in your country)

  • My current plan doesn't not end till December but is worth it to sign up again with a new account incase they block this method in the future.

    • +1

      Will probably have this or another hack available by Dec. Don't think you need to worry too much.

    I have managed to get it work on Google chromecast tv. Here is what I did if anyone who doesn’t have android phone.

    1. Open new Google account
    2. Set up payment using citi plus with Turkey as country
    3. Made purchase on some game worth TUR 4.99
    4. Login using new Google account on Chromecast tv
    5. Clear Google play cache
    6. Download Disney plus
    7. Sign up and pay

    For me step 3 was important as It always failed on the purchase step with error “purchase not supported in your country” when I directly go to step 7

    • +2

      I was using devize's method with a 28 Degrees card, no luck. I made a purchase, but still getting the "purchase not supported in your country" error.

      On the plus side, I discovered how cheap the Turkish Play Store is and got a game for 90% less.

      • +1

        i used 28degrees i got the same error but got it to work using a vpn.

        I used windscribe free VPN. Turned it on just before going to make payment

        Bit finnicky but seems like you have almost got it to work. Good luck.

        • I tried again with Windscribe (Istanbul - Ataturk). No joy, but I think I know the issue. I did a where am I search, and it says I'm in the Czech Republic. Happens with both my Windscribe account with 50GB/month from years ago and a brand new free one I just created.

        • Success! With VPN on, I removed and re-added my Google payment method. VPN off, go back to Disney+ app and subscription was successful.

          I can't remember if I'd ever had the VPN on when adding the payment method, maybe not? As for the Czech location, this was related to the mock location app I had set. Didn't realise it would have an effect when not running.

          • @deeevan: yay!
            Awesome

          • @deeevan: Did you use VPN on phone or desktop?

            • @deals4amar: VPN on phone, I didn’t touch a desktop for this. I must have tried adding the payment method with VPN on because I can’t think of any other step I would have used it for, which makes me suspect there was luck of the draw in VPN servers or Google Pay accepting my card after a certain amount of time or something

              @G-rig Yes it does make sense but devize and others were able to do this without any VPN

              • @deeevan: All good, seems like many ways to get it Working.

        • Yes makes sense to have the VPN on the same country as the currency you're wanting to pay in, in general.

      • In my case I have to turn off VPN with the Disney Turkey app to get through this

        "purchase not supported in your country" error.

    • Thanks for tip no. 3. Been getting payment error with Citi credit card with or without vpn. Successfully made a purchase of a 5cent game. Afterwards my Disney payment went through even without VPN.

    • How do you set up payment with citi plus in Google play?

  • In my google pay method it said next payment TRY 349.90 on 17 Jun 2023 is that mean this is their normal price? So much cheaper than us.

    • +1

      normal price until they increase it

  • Can some fellow ozbargainer help me on the below?

    I have some Turkey Google Play giftcards which I am trying to redeem in playstore by rooting phone location to Turkey and modifying phone location to Turkey using VPN.

    But I keep getting below error every single time :(

    Couldn’t complete your transaction. Gift cards can only be used in the country they were purchased. See the gift card Terms of Service.

    • Same with me, with lot of pain got a TRY GC worth 500 TRY/ $42 AUd now stuck. Could not use it.

      However, I was able to signup using a diff device and Wise card. Added a TRY account in wise and preloaded with $350 TRY.

      • Sailing on the same boat. Hope there is some way or the other to redeem those cards.

  • Has anyone noticed if we are missing content compared to the Australian library?

    Noticed the movie "Zootropolis" in my Disney+ but checked with a friend it should be Zootopia in a regular Aussie D+ subscription. Zootropolis is the international name, so wondering if we've ended up with a different content library - even though I'm not using any VPN and changed back to Aussie Google Play account.

    • +3

      It's your profile language. If you change to English (US) it'll say Zootopia. English (UK) says Zootropolis.

      • Interesting!!! Yep that did it. Ok cool so no library concern.

  • Thanks OP
    It worked for me, used 28 degree card

    Im an iphone user and used bluestacks to do all the steps. And i used my original disney account to pay

    Now i want to delete my new burner gmail account and delete subscription from google play

    Is it safe to do so ? Will my year long disney account still be active till june next year ?

    Thanks

    • Did you do everything on the iphone?
      If so which guide worked for you, since there are multiple different ones through this thread? Thanks

      • +1

        from google play

        Clearly not iPhone

        • Bluestacks on windows pc

          Just want to know if it's safe to delete burner gmail account and disney subscription off google play ?

          • @kdmeir: I'm not too sure about that, sorry - hope someone else can answer this :)

          • +2

            @kdmeir:

            Just want to know if it's safe to delete burner gmail account

            May as well keep, and forget about it? could be handy for other things (hacks).

            I was still able to resub using original d+ account and email, so won't be checking that email.

  • No worries

    I Googled it.
    Like most subscriptions you can use it until end of billing cycle even if you cancel some time before. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t immediate cancellation.

    • the subscription is linked with your disney+ account once paid. So even if you delete google account your good.

      • will keep if still $29.1

  • Just noticed that the content seems to restricted on Google Chromecast comparing to other device, e.g iPhone. Some tv/movies are available on iPhone but not on Chromecast. More turkey contents on Chromecast.

    • Check no age restrictions in profile settings, ie 18+
      Bound to be some differences between countries tho, good enough for $30

      • has the obi-wan kenobi series.
        What else does one need. :D

        • Yeah only care about Mandalorian and that stuff. The good marvel series saw before on Disney

  • Finally got it to work with my Wise Digital card after killing old one and creating a new card. Keeping address on the wise card AU and the address on GPay Turkey. Now to see what I get charged in 12 months.

  • Does this have same 4 screens at once?

    • Everything is the same, but the price

  • Didn't think it'd work at first as it was asking for an address, post code, etc. But I entered card details, clicked Turkey, put my actual address in (to match CC), then it came up with error for post code… so I just stuck a 0 on the end…
    AND IT WORKED! 👍

  • what happens after the first year? is it gonna auto renew at the same price like youtube premium?

      • I think no one knows this for sure as this is new hack, so I guess will have to wait till it's due for annual renewal.
        I hope it charges my payment method added to google play in TRY for renewal.

    • +1

      Id expect to auto-renew in the same currency if that payment method is saved on file (and that country when Signe up last), of course it could increase in price by then.

      Not really worth worrying about for a year, can always cancel and get a refund in any event.

      • +1

        Correct this is exactly how it works. They will send an email well in advance (typically 3 months) advising the new renewal price.
        Caveat: If you change your PLAY Store and Credit Card to another country, ie: AU then your renewal will be in AUD with AUD pricing (currently $~110)

    • When they raise prices again you will be notified that it will take effect at the renewal time. That's how it worked in AU so Turkie will be the same. (Google Play and iTune subscription both operate this way).
      Inflation in Turkie is quite high, but unlike Netflix which bills monthly, you won't see an increase for 12months.

    Doctor strange in the multiverse of madness streaming now

  • Thanks to all for help. Sign up completed.

    Does anyone think, they might restrict access to Turkey only accounts to not work outside Turkey? This is the issue with Hotstar, as it doesn't work outside India without VPN.

    • as it doesn't work outside India without VPN.

      Have no problem so far, it just said look like you are travelling.

      • Yes no issues so far. But wondering if this will change in future.

  • I first created new account in Argentina for youtube premium. Now I switched it to Turkey address. Then I have two payment profiles for both Argentina and Turkey. Cancelled and re-subscribe to youtube premium. It shows TRY currency instead of ARS.

    Then I installed BlueStacks and logged in with my Google account. The country still in Argentina even though I removed the address. Just keep the Turkey one. And Disney plus app shows $6.99/m or $69.9 per year. Anyone experienced similar?

    • that sounded like me trying to get the cheaper price on disney Tunisia, I created tunisia payment but once downloaded and opened Disney it showed $69.9 USD so I just abort it and went the Turkey route.

  • Would this work preemptively for re-subscription? I already pay yearly and it's not due for another few months.
    Or would my subscription need to be due?

    • if you try doing in on Disney AU account then it won't work, I have disney 12 month free from telstra and tried logged in with that account and kept getting kicked out of the account section.

  • Thank you. It worked using my westpac debit master card and Android phone. Time to watch Dr strange. Cheers.

    Thanks for this OP finally got it working. $30 a year great deal!

  • Half the catalogue has gone missing for me, eg. The Simpsons used to be available now it’s not. Happening for anyone else?

    • +1

      I can still see The Simpsons in the search

      • Never mind, somehow the age restriction wasn’t set to 18+ anymore. Strange!

  • It worked
    Ta
    Will watch dr strange Soon

  • Thanks, I did skip some steps and it worked fine

    Create new Google account on phone
    Select new account in Google Play Store
    Add payment method and select Turkey as Country.
    Uninstall Disney+ if you have it installed.
    Search Disney+ on Google Play store APP on phone
    install Disney+ to your phone
    Open app on phone and pay in TRY.

    • So for you no need to use VPN to download the disney plus app?

      • No VPN required whatsoever.

      • No vpn but you better do it on a fresh android with no existing google accont logged in. I had issues with my samsung phone kept going back to the primary account in google play and screwed everything up.

        • you better do it on a fresh android

          That is what I did but I used VPN to download the Turkey's disney plus app which have T&C in their language.

          In that case the most important part is Google pay as Turkey.

        • i had an old account but one with no payment methods on it.

      • not at all

  • Anyone wants to share? I have been unable to get this working…. :-(

    • +1

      What is the error?

      Remember the most important is the google pay method, make sure only one google a/c and one Turkey google pay method better on a total reset andriod phone.

      • Ok let me try again on a phone that is reset

  • I'm using VPN, Google play payment method is set to Turkey but the Disney app is still showing Euro as currency. Where is it picking it up from?

    • Your VPN server.

      • Ok, I got VPN to work but Google Play doesn't take my 28 Degrees card. What else can I do?

        • Google Pay? Contact 28D to let the charges through.

    • No need to use VPN to pay, the actual google payment screen with show TRY.

  • Hello guys, (*** UPDATE***)

    I managed to subscribe the Disney+ just minutes ago. I was using my other phone to follow the steps mentioned in the OP's page without using VPN.

    Just make sure before you sign up - you would need to uninstall the Disney+ app if you had one before. Create a brand new Google account with Turkey location and or change your existing location if you are still eligible on your main phone - (For me, I chose not to use my main phone).
    For the payment, I am using the Citibank+ card to purchase without any issues.
    For postcode, pick any one from e.g. Ankara province such as 06010, 06020, 06030, …, …, etc.

    Bingo! Thanks for all who have provided the guidance.

  • Payment isn't going through (your transaction cannot be completed) for me for some reason, I tried with commbank and a revolut card. ?? I did it with the bluestacks and the non-vpn way and it shows the TRY price but doesn't actually pay for it.

  • Thank you OP. And everyone else who contributed with helpful advice. Finally made it work after an hour, on tight budget so every dollar counts. This is great luxury for us with the cheaper price.

  • Is it possible that the app does not install on a rooted android phone? I followed the instruction but the chrome browser in phone shows that Disney+ is not available for my phone.

    • don't bother with that convuluted guide, all you need is proper set up of turkey payment in google playstore (not google pay in settings). It doesn't matter if you have the existing Disney app, download it from the play store, get it from the browser. Even if the disney app showing AUD, if your payment account is set up properly for turkey then in the final step it will show TRY.

  • +1

    I'm stuck in step 3/3 in the Disney app. It says 'google pay purchases are not supported in your country' then won't let me purchase…

    I do see it in TRY but cannot use Google pay?

    • In my case I have to stop VPN before google pay.

      • I don't have a VPN though…

    • As above, turn on VPN before adding your google pay details.
      Leave it all on until the payment is made and it worked for me !

  • Yay still works, 'google pay purchases are not supported in your country' - do this part via VPN all the way

  • Now just need to cancel auto renewal…

    • Now just need to cancel auto renewal…

      If you cancel it, it will have to do the google pay thing again next year.

  • +1

    Got the following error on Disney+

    due to suspicious activity from this account, we have locked you access. if you believe this is incorrect, please contact customer service error code 93

  • "google pay purchases are not supported in your country"
    I keep getting this I tried with VPN connected to Turkey and without a VPN both don't work but it is showing as TRY
    A message showed up saying my account is locked so unsure if that is why

    • You need Turkey VPN or else it won't work, same error happened to me, all good now

      • Yeah had VPN connected to Turkey but doesn't work

        • Try difference VPN

          • @superforever: Yep tried both surfshark and Nord VPN
            Seems it could be because I'm blocked or just that they fixed it so that people can't use Google play

        • there's a free VPN you can download from Google Playstore called Turkey VPN, you should only be having it on when you are downloading Disney app, and have it off when you are making payment

          • @chikolicious:

            downloading Disney app

            I did the same downloaded the Turkey's Disney app but some said not necessary.
