4460

Good afternoon Ozbargainers. Looks like a lot of people will migrate to Kenya for cheap Netflix with very simple steps.

Because I suck at formatting, no table from me but price comparison are the following:

Australia Prices:

Basic Plan: (No longer available in Australia unless you previously were on it)

Standard with Ads: AU$6.99/month

Standard: AU$16.99/month

Premium: AU$22.99 / month

Kenyan Prices

Basic: 300 KES /month (~AU$2.93)

Standard: 700 KES /month (~AU$6.84)

Premium: 1,100 KES /month (~AU$10.74)

Note: Basic plan it's 720p (HD) and only for one device, Standard plan 1080p (Full HD) and for two devices, Premium plan it's 4K + HDR (Ultra HD) and for four different devices.

Converting Prices are from MasterCard official website

How to Sign up: (Super Easy Steps)

  1. Connect your VPN to Kenya (I used free TunnelBear VPN)

  2. Once you are connected to VPN Kenya. Go to the Netflix website. https://www.netflix.com/au/

  3. Sign up to an account (I haven't tried a pre-existing account, possibly it will work).

  4. Choose a plan. Image

  5. Pay with your card that doesn't have any international fees (Revolut most likely will fail) Please report back to update post.
    Cards that work: UP Bank, Bankwest Platinum Zero, Commbank, Qantas mastercard, Macquarie debit card, NAB,

  6. Disconnect your VPN and you are ready for Netflix. 🍿

So no Kenyan address needed , no telephone number, no hassle.

You can transfer your old profile to your new Netflix.

It works like this:
• Go to netflix.com
• Click Login at the top right.
• Enter the email address or telephone number and the password of the old account on which your Netflix profile is located.
• Click on Log in.
• Click on your profile.
• Click on the picture of your profile / your avatar at the top right.
• Click on Transfer profile.
• Click on Next.
• Enter an email address and password for your new account.

  • Wouldn't work on the PC for me, but android phone did the trick! Thanks OP!

  • After putting in cc detail, there appears to be a step asking Kenya mobile number for verification😓😓😓 help please!
    Same on Android and PC

    • I input my Australia number and verified it via SMS. Everything worked fine. Or just skip the step.

  • I'm still going through Turkey as its been pretty good and reliable so far and far cheaper than Aus Netflix. Dont know if I can be bothered now signing up through Kenya…

  • Works fantastic

    thanks

    Wish Youtube has the option of transferring saved songlist etc as well

    • Did you get asked for a mobile number?

      • +1

        No I didn't

  • +1

    I can confirm existing (lapsed) Netflix account works, but doing it via browser on PC failed (with Kenya VPN active) - had to log in via browser on mobile (via Kenya VPN). Thanks OP! Haven't had Netflix for 6 months as refused to pay $22 p/m for premium.

  • Tunnlebear to Kenya just stays on "connecting" Anyone else having trouble or should I just try a different VPN??

    • Finally connected, after 3 goes at CC it accepted one but now cant seem to get past the text to mobile requirement?

  • +1

    what people need to think about is you can rush into the cheapest location this month be it Kenya, Argentina, Pakistan, Turkey or wherever but longer term it's the country with the fast depreciating currency that will be cheapest until Netflix hikes the price, so I'd suggest this will be Turkey or Argentina. Nobody doubts Netflix is well aware of what is happening however I suspect that they choose to stop the majority account sharing in their own country but turn a blind eye to those who want to circumnavigate paying in their own country as they may lose that sub completely & also that when they block one workaround another will likely be found

  • does any one no were to buy Kenya Netflix gift cards online? thanks in advance

  • +1

    Thanks OP, worked as per instructions. Been wanting to sign up to Netflix again. $10.69 via Macquarie debit card (Bankwest didn't work, I'm guessing rejected due to anti-fraud or something).

    It's asking me to provide a Kenya phone number :(

    • +1

      I just ignored it and pressed next

    • -2

      read the post prior to your repetitive comment dude

  • Worked perfectly for me, thanks!

    • you interested in making it a family plan?

      • does Kenya allow sharing?

        • No idea

  • Thanks op I got one.

  • Damn its asks for a text message authorisation and the "Text me" box. There is no next to click?

    • Nah all good no just have to try a bunch of times.

  • +1

    Thanks OP this is great. My turkey acount is kinda terrible. My payment method wont process anymore so had to keep buying gift cards. This works great so far and no one month lockout.

  • Does anyone know how to get around the mobile verification part. When I close the page and open it again it wants all the info again

    • I just click "Next" and it passed to next page without issue. In saying that I'm using Android phone.

      • It doesn't say "Next" for me - it says "Text Me" - and there doesn't seem to be a way to get past that.

        • I just went back and forward a bunch of times.

          Was trying on mobile and windows. In the end windows did the trick

  • Yep no next for me

    • Are you using a pre-existing account? What kind of device are you using? What kind of browser are you using? What VPN are you using?

  • I did it in on my pc, new account. VPN connected to Kenya. I couldn't get past the mobile verification. I closed the browser and reopened it, signed back in, VPN still connected, however it tried picking up where it left off with no option to ship. I click the mobile verification and it has a Kenyan international prefix already selected. I can't get around that bit

    • As per previous poster said, try use android or mobile device.

  • No option to *skip

    • Have you already paid or not yet?

  • Nah it goes back to the bit where it wants my card details, I entered them a second time with the same result.
    If only there was a way to enter a digital Kenyan mobile that forwards to my aussie one this would work for everyone

    • If you haven't paid yet I would scratch the whole account. And start fresh on a mobile device. I used android device, TunnelBear VPN (Free), Chrome Browser. No mobile number or verification was asked.

      Note: I would use a fresh email too.

  • I'll give that a go 👌🏻

  • I think my bank said. Hang on what's going on here… Block 😂

    • Yeah, sometimes that happens. It depends on the bank. Maybe try to use some of the banks mentioned on description but potentially are more that work.

  • Thanks. Kenya was simple. Haven't bothered in the past. Gave this a go and it worked. Used android, tunnel bear and email I use for this sort of thing. Latitude card.

    • Latitude as in a 28 Degrees CC?

      • Yes, sorry I just saw this

  • Maybe I'll get a gift card?

    • I would just wait and try with a different card. Or alternatively you can be part of someone's else "Family" on the 4K plan. They already paid, the have 4 devices for Netflix. But it needs to be someone you can trust. You don't want anyone to get the money and then kick you out.

  • This was really easy, thanks!

  • +1

    Thanks OP it was a walk in the park compared to signing up to Spotify Turkey I used my new NAB account which had been transitioned from Citibank

    • Good to know the NAB account works. Just in the process of transitioning things across from Citi and was worried I'd need to find a new card that worked for Turkey.

    • Sweet. Was wondering if I should use Macquarie or 28 degree card and saw your message about NAB card.

      Sign-up without any hiccup. Got charge $6.80 for standard.

  • It doesn't work for me as when I am in the VPN for Kenya, I could not log into my current Netflix account. It did not recognise my eamil and password.

    • You tried connecting without vpn. Once connected to netflix. Connect to vpn.

      • Thanks. Works now.

  • +1

    Thanks OP. I had a small hurdle with the mobile verification. All I did was, disconnect the vpn and connect it back. And clicked on complete signup and it worked. :)

    • That might have worked for me! Thanks!

  • Has anyone update your phone to Australia number after signup successful?

  • Hey OP
    I got the subscription, thanks.
    How do I login to the phone app? Do I need another VPN on the phone for it? Else gives invalid password error.
    Surfshark and PureVPN don’t have Kenya servers.

  • super simple to activate! thanks!

  • Damn netflix is asking to confirm kenyan phone number to send a text to!

  • I did get it to work using the mobile using citibank debit card. Even on mobile it asked for mobile confirmation using my 28 degrees card (latitute). Thanks for the heads up guys.

  • i have just signed up without any problems using free Tunnel Bear VPN on an iphone. The payment was made with a CBA debit card.

  • So I have got the Kenyan account. I also have my normal Aussie account. I can't work out how to transfer profiles as described by OP. Can/should I just terminate the Aussie account or…?? Not fussed about loss of history etc. Next payment date is 26.12.23 so prob best to cancel that membership yeah??

    • +1

      Just cancel the Aussie account.

  • Netflix automatically cancelled and refunded my subscription today after 3 days (it was a new account)… Has anyone encountered the same?

    • Yes, paid with Up card. Didnt enter a mobile number. Tunnelbear VPN on PC. whatismyipaddress.com indicated the VPN was working.

    • Same here, account auto cancelled today and refunded. Had used 28deg and added aussie mobile number … back to Turkey for me!

    • Same :(

  • Also got refunded

  • Does this mean Turkish Netflix' days are numbered?

  • Easy done.. let's see if it's cancelled.

  • Just tried to sign up on PC but it returned error message with my Westpac credit card account. So not all credit cards work?

    • Sorted. Able to sign up on iPhone.

  • I'm stuck on the "text me" prompt. Can't enter an aussie number and can't skip. I tried to find a free Kenyan virtual phone number but that was unsuccessful. Using android phone. Maybe PingMe for temp number will work ?

    • Tip from Swakarma above worked for me. Disconnect the vpn and connect it back. The phone number prompt becomes optional.

  • Nice find It failed on one payment method but worked with my macquarie bank account

    Thnx

  • Got refunded. The account must have been cancelled.

  • Thank you OP - definitely much easier to do this with Kenya vs Turkey. Wouldn't mind paying a little more for the convenience. Worked with pre-existing account with no issues.

  • Works with citibank cc.

  • Worked for me using an existing expired account signed up previously via Turkey. I did it on a PC and just followed the exact steps as provided.

  • Got it to work, hopefully I won't get refunded.

  • How to fix the phone number question, after you put the credit card, they ask put the kenya phone number.

  • Used tunnelbear on phone, signed up for new account through Kenya and processed payment first time with Wise account.

    After payment it asked for phone number for recovery but i just closed it at that point as it had already signed up successfully.

    Worked perfectly.

  • Hi OP
    is there Netflix gift cards for Kenya ?
    Thanks for another amazing deal.

  • Following this thread to see if there are any more recent a/cs being refunded/cancelled as some have reported recently

    • +1

      Reporting back after a week and abit (6/Jan), re-sub to netflix using this on 29/Dec. so far so good.

      Will revert back again in a month's time after the next monthly charge or if got cancelled/refunded (fingers crossing)

      • +1

        As an update, can confirm my Australian-issued card has been charged today (29/Jan) as monthly renewal (since subscribing on 29/Dec). Looks like the subs remain active.

        it's A$0.01 dearer this month >.<

  • Are they actively blocking payment method that are outside of Kenya?

  • Will be trying this as soon as my current subscription expires.

    Has anyone managed to get an ING card to work for this?

    • Ok replying to myself here - ING card worked.

  • My subscription just got cancelled?

    • Join the club

    • After how many days ?

      • legit like 3 days?

    • Same here, i have been using this account from long time

  • I signed up using a new account - can’t figure out how to do a profile transfer from my old account (expired membership) - can’t seem to see a profile transfer option. Help anyone?

  • Thanks OP. Worked with Wise. If it gets cancelled will just go back to our Aus account.

  • my account got temp banned for a month so I waited until it was unbanned but now my payment details have been deleted and to update them requires a turkish phone number. Anyway around this?

  • -3

    Hmm, so things are half price in Kenya because of low income levels in the country, I'm assuming? Does this mean you can buy a Tesla for $30k over there?

    • It don't work like that.

  • So did most people get refunded for this?

    • Have just signed up again, lets see if they cancel again

    • No refunds, Netflix asked me to contact bank for this, for me, the amount was deducted a day before the cancellation.
