Follow the onscreen steps. In the mobile number section use your Australian mobile number (Very important to use a valid number or risk losing your ID). Choose country as Turkey.

  • Go to Settings on your iPhone/iPad > Your Name > Media and Purchases > Log out from your current ID and login with your Turkish Apple ID

  • Buy TL iTunes gift cards (Make sure you only buy Turkish ones, only comes in 25 TRY and 50 TRY denominations) from TurGame > Choose currency as TL/TRY and pay with international transaction fee free card.

  • Redeem iTunes gift cards by going to App Store > Account (located at right top corner) > Redeem gift cards or code.


Not all prices in the table below will be the same, these prices are obtained from the app store page and not actually tested. You can check the actual price by logging into apps and trying to sign up before buying gift cards for your purchases (If the price in app is higher than what is shown below, restart your app and phone to see if it changes). Follow this hack to get the cheapest price possible. Credit to doweyy for putting it all in a table format.

No, Just need to log out of Media and purchases option, listed under Settings > Your Name > Media and Purchases and then sign in into Media and purchases with your Turkish ID.

Comments

    • It's ok. We've changed government now.

  • How do you pay for Apple Developer subscriptions with this?

    • Via in app purchase

      • Do you have to change your developer account region to Turkey?

        • Nope just need Turkish apple ID to allow you and then sign in with primary apple ID in Apple developer app to buy the subscription

          • @Pricebeat: Will try this out, thanks Pricebeat!

            • @flud: Have you guys tried this and had success? I thought it requires a physical address to register?

              I need an Apple Developer account for some personal projects and really hate having to resign every 7 days on the free tier, but it's so expensive in AUD, so this would be amazing if it works.

              • @b-t: Haven’t been able to test it yet since Apple doesn’t allow you to renew the membership until 30 days before the expiry. Will have to wait till next year lol

      • Minor note, the AUD price for the Apple Developer Program is $149 AUD (not $144.99 as listed).

        • +1

          It’s actually $144.99. I just tested again

          • @Pricebeat: Hmm maybe thats because I pay via card… didn't know you could pay via the Developer app.

          • @Pricebeat: Weird I paid $149 last year too

    • +2

      Just for everyone that was curious about this, it doesn't work. You'll presented with an error:

      The region of the Apple ID associated with iTunes & App Store in Settings is different than the region of the Apple ID with which you signed into the Apple Developer app. Sign in to iTunes & App Store with an Apple ID that has the same region.

      Screenshot proof

      • Thanks, removed it from the table

  • -2

    I would not do this. You will be locked out of a lot of Australian-only apps.

    • +11

      It’s to be used as secondary ID to get subscriptions. People are not changing region of their Primary Apple ID, which will still be in Australia. Looks like Tim needs to learn about his own company

      • +2

        indeed. apple makes switching media,purchase,subscription Apple ID to a secondary one very easy, especially on apple tv where it's basically as simple as switching profile like netflix. i wonder what the (non-chopper) legitimate reason is for this 🤔

    • -7

      Sadly your company seems to be enabling this disgraceful behaviour

    • +2

      name checks out

    • You are partially correct as what you see in the App Store is linked to your Media\Purchases account. For cheap purchases, I initially used a secondary media account when making the purchase (You don't lose access to existing apps), then sign-up, eg: LastPass\Disney ect…) then change back to the AU account. Alternatively you can use a secondary device.

      Can't speak for all, but for the ones I have used they work under any ID or any device, eg: TV, Android Device, Windows PC.

      The only region restricted app that I use is the "My 7-Eleven Fuel App", but as I installed with an AU account, that continues to work fine and receive app updates.

  • What happens if the purchase is just a bit over ₺25/50? Would we have to buy another gift card or can we pay via an Aus credit card?

    • +2

      You will need gift card. AU cards not accepted

    • +1

      Why do you think you’re paying with a Turkish gift card in the first place? Obfuscation is the name of the game here

      • +1

        Makes sense thanks

    • +1

      Yes your balance needs to cover the required purchase.
      If your purchase is ₺51 then you require a ₺50 and ₺25 gift card.
      Given a ₺25 gift card is ~2.13 AUD, you are not leaving a lot on the table.

  • +1

    +1 for FAQ

  • +2

    Thank you! My only comment is if you put discount rather than % variance, it will be more useful.

    For example, for AFR it would be 11.34/12.99 x 100 = 87.3% saving.

    Thanks so much! Great post!

  • apps and apple can see that you're using the subscription / app while in australia because of your IP address though…. would a way to protect yourself from that feared "we've cancelled your subscription/deactivated your apple ID" email be to set up a VPN? though that would only cover the device you're using unless it's router based. and even then, your internet speed might suffer… thinking emoji

  • +1

    Would be nice if they offer more than 50TRY per card.

  • This is great. I've been using Youtube, Netflix, Headspace & Google One cloud storage all via turkish using a Wise prepaid visa. I must look to "move" evernote; Canva looks like a good deal too.

  • Will Apple Music subscription work via this method?

    • Yes but you won’t be able to use it on same iPhone/iPad as your primary ID

  • -1

    Do they have Grindr? What’s the price?

  • Thanks OP
    Btw, do they have TradingView Pro/Pro+/Premium?

    • +2

      From the App Store:

      TradingView Pro (1 Month) TL 274,99
      TradingView Premium (1 Month) 1.099.99
      Trading View Pro+ (1 Month) 549.99

      TradingView Pro+ (1 Year) 2899.99

  • Anyone have their purchases stuck on processing? (On TURGAME)

    • Sometimes they are instant and other times can be slow. Also depends on bank as well as some banks may block payment. I used Revolut virtual card.

    • Same. Bought 4 x 50 3 hours, still stuck in processing

      I use Revolut Virtual visa to purchase and payment was deducted Instantly

    • First time i used it a couple weeks ago they processed in 5 minutes, this time it took 5 hours 🤷🏽

      • Probably because too many people buying at the same time

      • yes.. I used my 28Deg card and they asked for ID verification .. but no drama, they just want to see the name matches the credit card and the rest of details is covered.

  • +1

    Love getting charged more simply because we're in the Australian region. Tempted to just cancel my subscriptions to these people entirely.

    • +1

      is it being charged more for being in australia, charging less because it's turkey, or a combination of both?🤔

      • +1

        Definitely both. We're charged more because we're willing to pay more but also because people in Turkey don't earn as much.

        • We're charged more because we're willing to pay more

          Precisely. It's funny, I had a similar thought when I see people just waltzing into Harvey Norman and buying an appliance outright. they are not as thrifty as me, but that's because they can afford not to be.

          (obviously I would only be at HN to sit on their sofas)

  • +1

    wish Kayo appeared on here one day..

    • +1

      I had s sport plus last year for the EPL, but it also had all the F1, UFC WWE, lots of others too.
      They lost the rights to the EPL so I cancelled it for this year. Was approx $3 per month

      • Unfortunately the F1 is with Turkish commentary, and no option to switch to English.

  • I think you can VPN to sign up to Tinder cheaper, and different countries/age groups are much cheaper.

  • Thanks for the detailed post.
    Would you happen to know the prices for Zwift?

    • +1

      TRY49.99/month (~A$3.91)

    • Hey there, did you happen to get this to work?

      • I did it today and seems to accept it.

        I had only TRY20 in my account yesterday and wouldn't let me join. Loaded another TRY50 to my account and it accepted it.

        On the 2-week trial now, so I'll report back later if it deducts from my account when trial ends.

  • Is Turkey the cheapest? Will this work for other countries too?

    • it's reliably and generally cheapest, which is what's important.

      setting up an apple ID for several different regions is too much effort, it's like going for a long drive to save a few dollars on something (wait, that's me)

    • I used Turkey because it’s easier to get gift cards for and is mostly cheaper

      • Yeah I found India and places in South America to be cheaper for a few of them

  • Is anyone else having a problem creating a Turkish apple ID using an Australian mobile number?
    after entering the verification code (received on an Australian number) it says "Your account cannot be created at this time" !!!

  • LinkedIn Premium Career is coming up as 399.99 TRL/monthly

    • PDF Expert @ 1299.99 TRL

    • +1

      Doing better than me - 439.99 TRL/monthly for Premium Career on my LI app :-|

      Which is still better than the wallet raping $50AUD/month they charge now! I remember the days when it was <$30AUD

      • I’m a potato,I meant 439.99

        • Well now I don't feel TOO bad haha But still… $35 is a bit OTT though.

  • Anyone got Plex working?

    • Plex says it's possible to but the subscription via itunes but that option is not available on the Plex app anymore.

      Plex vs iOS

    • Plex is expensive on App store. They do it on purpose

  • Is Optus Sport available via this method?

    • It’s an Australian app, not available on Turkish store

  • Signing out of your phone to log into your Turkish account removes all your Apple Pay cards. Bit of a hassle.

    • +3

      you're doing it wrong, i had this too but you're mistakenly logging out of your Primary Apple ID. switch accounts using the media and purchases option, not the sign out at the bottom

      • Thanks for the heads up.

  • Is there a link to get apple one Turkey sub?

    • Apple one is not available in Turkey

  • Is it possible to do this all in a web browser, without having an Apple device?

    EDIT: Just realised for the most part not, as it's mostly done in app.

    • Nope unfortunately.

  • Seems like turgame got ozbargained! My order with cc was processing for hours. Signed up to revolut to try that way just now, gone to the site and host is down :(

    • Working ok for me

      • yeah seems back now. wasn't working for a few mins when I tried.

  • Any food based subscriptions that are usable in Australia with Turkey/Argentinian discounts?

    Eg. Uber Pass, etc?

    • I think they are region locked as far as I know with experience from Doordash

      • Yeah, even my Uber Rewards is region locked to US as I accidentally started it up over there. Would be cool though!

  • Any chance anyone knows the price for notion? Totally plan on doing this if notion is cheap!

    • +1

      Notion Personal pro monthly- TRY35.99
      Yearly - TRY469.99

      • Nice! it’s half price for the annual using turkey. Thanks for posting!

      • Do you have an easy way you check without fully downloading the app, etc? Thanks for your amazing efforts!

        • If you want to know the correct price, then you will have to download the app unfortunately as some apps have few different prices listed on App Store page.

    • Do you know if the Notion sub would cross over and apply to the Mac app? Or would it be strictly tied to the iOS app…?

      • +1

        If it requires login into app, then subscription should work anywhere you login with that account

  • No Spotify?

    • Spotify doesn’t allow purchases via app.

      • Good point! Are there any other county options that work?

  • Nice!!
