Reposting this deal from 2021, credits to the original poster @Pricebeat and @neo479
Due to the significant change in currency exchange rates, prices are now around 50% lower than last year. I've done the currency conversions from Turkish Lira to Australian Dollars and the percentage of savings so you don't have to :)
| Storage | Monthly Cost (% Savings) | Yearly Cost (% Savings) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 GB | AUD $0.50 (80% off AUD RRP) | AUD $5.02 (80% off AUD RRP) |
| 200 GB | AUD $1.00 (77% off AUD RRP) | AUD $10.04 (77% off AUD RRP) |
| 2 TB | AUD $2.51 (80% off AUD RRP) | AUD $25.11 (80% off AUD RRP) |
| 5 TB | AUD $12.58 | AUD $125.78 |
| 10 TB | AUD $25.15 | N/A |
| 20 TB | AUD $50.30 | N/A |
| 30 TB | AUD $75.45 | N/A |
I remember doing this on an iPhone a few months back (as I don't have an android). So I'm guessing the device does not matter. I just resubscribed today to a new plan, on a PC. So here's my experience, and it took literally minutes.
Step 1: Change your Google payment profile to Turkey. If needed, use a fake address simulator like this one
Step 2: VPN (fly) to Turkey using the deal link above (I used the free Windscribe Chrome extension; although it was a bit tricky since Windscribe kept connecting me to random Turkey locations - in this case just disconnect and reconnect until you land on Istanbul or something, or use a different VPN. Nord VPN does not work). if the currency is shown in Turkish Lira, you've hit the jackpot
Step 3: Subscribe to the plan of your choice. Use a credit/debit card (preferedly with no international fees)
Step 4: Fly back home
EDIT 2:27 AM: After serious testing I've found the following:
Regards to AussieMark's comment here
- I just did some testing and it looks like you can share your Google One with family members - IT'S POSSIBLE! The only catch is you have to add the family members / accounts into the family first, before taking one of the accounts and subscribing through this deal. TO ADD FAMILY MEMBERS GO TO https://families.google.com/families
For those who currently have Youtube Premium from Argentina, and want to sign up to this deal on top on the Google account - IT'S POSSIBLE, simply create a new payment profile for Turkey
- If pricing initially shows Turkish but switches back to AUD, try this method: You might see the 3 columns show Australian pricing, but select the 2tb and go to next screen and check it changes to TRY currency. if this doesn't work, then I think you have to delete the Australian payment profile. You can always make a new one after, but be aware that deleting your Australian profile will destroy all your Google Play Credits
- You can create a new payment profile by following these steps by alcheron: go to https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings and clicking the pen icon next to "Country/Region" and a link to create a new profile should pop up. You can then add details for the Turkish profile.
Hope this helps!
EDIT 12:00 PM: You need to turn on family sharing after signing up to this plan to actually share the storage. To do this, go to the Google One site and click on the Gear settings icon (alternatively click on this link, then go to "Manage Family Settings" and toggle it on. This step assumes you've sared it with other members before signing up to this plan, as you cannot add family members anymore after if their account locations are not in the same country
Please note the process can be easy for some people, harder for others, or may not work at all. Copying some notes from @bargainsgrabber
- There is no need for aggression in instances where you are unable to subscribe to an international Netflix account. Share your experience so everyone can chip in and help out. There are plenty of examples where hacks shared on this platform do not work for some people, but may work for others:
- Modem reset for faster internet,
- Cash back program purchase tracking,
- Price matching an unobtainable deal or price error,
- Targeted bargains, and
- Limited quantity items quickly or instant (bot) sellout.
- Similarly we know there are cash back users who follow every single step for cash back (turn off ad blocker, have no items in cart, do not click other links, etc.) on their purchases and it does not work, its probably best to move on.There are many users who successfully use this hack and enjoy paying half the price of the Australian membership. Unfortunately there are also many users who have been unable to sign up to Netflix Turkey or Argentina. After all it is intended for people who reside in Turkey or Argentina. If it does not work, I am not affiliated with any of the entities listed below or linked to and cannot guarantee any outcome. I can only read comments on this platform and others to share them with you. Your patience is appreciated. Please do not take it personally.
Shows how much Google is ripping us off in Australia (and other Western countries).
Google's costs for selling this service to Turkish users are exactly the same as in Australia. There is no physical store-front, so they can't blame high salaries for retail employees, or high rents for their shops.
They are charging us $100 extra just because they think they can get away with it.
Absolutely sickening.
