GUYS I MANAGED TO GET IT TO WORK IN MINUTES HAHAHAHAHAHSHDBQWEBJ (sorry I'm just so happy). Payment proof :)

ok ok before we get too excited, as always:

Welcome to the ultimate guide of Netflix subscriptions (Nigerian Edition)

Netflix has once again rolled out a 2nd price hike for Türkiye within 4 months. I said enough is enough, and decided to explore other avenues. Decided to test the Nigerian Prince to see if he'd give in. I did encounter some errors, but somehow managed to bypass them within minutes. The result? I managed to sign up to the world's cheapest Netflix (or second cheapest, idk lol) in less than 10 minutes (without gift cards), and for the record, it was my first time trying as well. That's insane in my books. There is also no 30 day local region restriction as confirmed by myself and you guys.

This guide is the latest updated guide I've made so far (with screenshots)! Please see the statistics section below for an interesting read and show some love. Any comments, concerns, suggestions or feedback are welcome :)

  • Nigeria is the cheapest country in the world for Netflix. See plan prices below.
  • Turkey is no longer the cheapest country for a Netflix subscription on all tiers, after they keep increasing prices every few months.
    • However, obtaining a Turkey-based Netflix Gift Card is extremely easy and effortless, making it one of the easiest and therefore cheapest country to sign up with.
  • Pakistan is the cheapest country for all Netflix plans, however, obtaining a Pakistan-based Netflix Gift Card to sign up is almost impossible. Egypt is the next cheapest, but impossible to sign up for the same reason. If you have a bank card locally from these countries, feel free to sign up directly otherwise.
  • @Scrooge McDeal's post for Netflix Kenya is slightly cheaper than Netflix Turkey, however many members have had their memberships cancelled and payments refunded.

Instructions

Please read the following instructions carefully. Please review screenshots at each step if you are stuck.

  1. Activate a VPN service, turn it on and set it to Nigeria. I used Surfshark VPN (Shopback currently has 98% cashback)!

    https://my.surfshark.com

  2. Open Netflix on a new tab (not being logged in), enter your email (a new one, preferredly) and press "get started" (see screenshot):

    https://www.netflix.com/

  3. On the "Step 1 of 3" page, press "Next", then set a password. On the "Step 2 of 3" page, press "Next", then choose your desired membership plan, then press "Next". On the "Step 3 of 3" page, click "Credit or Debit Card" then enter your CC or Debit details (I used Suncorp Debit Card). Tick "I agree" then press "Start Membership". If you get a payment error, try a different Credit or Debit Card and try again.

  4. If the payment method is accepted, then the next page will be phone number verification (I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T GET A SCREENSHOT OF THIS PAGE AS I COULDN'T GET THE PAGE AGAIN AFTER). I entered a random number in from the PingMe app and it redirected me to the next page to enter the verification code. PingMe didn't send me a code and it was dinner time so what I did was back click on the browser to the previous page (the payment page). I entered the payment debit card again and it works as expected, bringing me to a new phone verification page (or so I thought). This page (after reading it carefully) actually said "Welcome to Netflix! You've started your membership and emailed the details to [email protected], with a mobile option to set up password recovery (just ignore this). I pressed "Next" and voila - I'm now on Netflix Nigeria baby! At this stage you're done! Enjoy your membership :)

    You can probably use PingMe (similar to Turkey deal) and it will still work I think. I couldn't try as I managed to bypass the phone verification step as explained above, but if anyone wants to give it a try let me know.

FAQ

Q: I just got a "Payment Declined - Update Payment Method" email from Netflix. What do I do?
A: This issue is being reported by many people who have recently signed up to Netflix Nigeria. They seem to only a few months after signing up, but once fixed, it usually does not happen again. There are two ways to get around this issue:

  1. You can contact Netflix Live Chat and enquire about the "Payment Declined" issue. Make sure you chat with your Nigerian VPN activated. If they ask, say you're in Nigeria for a holiday, or came up with another excuse. Tell them that your payment has declined and you'd like to add a new credit/debit card. They should (if not, request them to) be able to send a payment form popup directly on the chat so you can add your new payment details. If the agent refuses or has no idea what you’re trying to say, end the chat and start a new one. Once the payment is accepted, the "Payment Declined" issue shouldn't occur ever again.

  2. Log into your Netflix account and update your payment method (Nigeria phone number required). When you follow the prompts to update your payment method, Netflix will require a Nigerian number. You can use the PingMe service to obtain a Nigerian phone number for the purposes of this SMS verification. It will cost you a few dollars to buy credits for the purpose of receiving this SMS. Download the PingMe app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play store. Create an account, and recharge with "coins" (credits). 1 coin ($2.99 AUD @ App Store) is enough for 1 Netflix Nigeria SMS verification, but you can also buy 5 coins ($10 AUD @ App Store) for the price of 3 in case you need it in the future. After obtaining your coins, click on the "Verification" tab on the bottom of the app and follow this screenshot: select "Netflix" for the App/Website and "Nigeria (+234)" for the Country/Region. Proceed as per the PingMe app and use that to validate the Netflix SMS verification process.

Q: My current card expired. How do I update to a new debit/credit card?
A: See the FAQ directly above this question. If you're sticking with the same credit card account (i.e. just getting a new/replacement card against the same account), you may not have to do anything. Your Netflix account may automatically update to your new card details, due to a connection provided by Mastercard, Visa, AMEX, etc. See here and here and here for more details, thanks to @NitroJolt.

Q: How do I add Netflix Nigeria Gift Cards to my Netflix account?
A: There are no Netflix Nigeria Gift Cards available.

Q: Will I need to turn VPN on everytime I watch Netflix?
A: No! You no longer need to have VPN on every time you watch a show or movie. VPN is only required for sign up. After signing up, use Netflix without a VPN and you will have access to the Australian Netflix library.

Q: I want to watch a show/move that is only available from another region or country. Can I do this?
A: If you want to watch a show or movie that is region locked to another country, you can do so by setting your VPN on your phone, laptop or PC to that particular country to watch it. Yes, you will need a VPN service for this, and most VPN providers should work.

Q: I got charged a different rate compared to the prices on this post. What happened?
A: Due to foreign exchange rates constantly fluctuating, prices will differ by several cents each month

Q: My bank blocked my payment, what do I do?
A: Some banks block 1st attempt and then text to confirm it's you. Once you reply, 2nd attempt may work. If after several attempts it does not work, just go through the Gift Card method and avoid the pain

Q: Is signing up to Netflix Nigeria going to affect my Netflix library/catalogue?
A: After setting up this sub, you may or may not notice the Netflix catalogue may be weird with brand new shows, etc… It might not even change anything, but if it does change, your Netflix catalogue will adjust to what you’re watching and soon it will look like nothing ever happened

Q: GST/VAT and Tax related questions?
A: See here. Don't worry, there really isn't any tax you need to worry about.

    When using cyberghost VPN, I was to redirected to the Spanish netflix. netflix.com/es-en/

  • Amazingly on 14/03/2024 - 13:27

    After signing up 21/02 to Nigeria using NAB debit card, been waiting to see if only connecting via vpn help to keep this going.

    Today, 3 weeks after the initial debit I was debited again. This time $2.73 (tight ass subscription).

    Just noticed in the debit details:

    Netflix (Melbourne)
    NETFLIX AUSTRALIA
    Netflix Inc
    Netflix Australia Pty Ltd

    2 things, why a week early and why Melbourne Netflix, not Nigeria Netflix. I’m guessing it won’t be long before I’m cut too!

    • Ice009 on 14/03/2024 - 19:37

      Interesting. Let us know how it goes.Are you only connecting via VPN only. You haven't tried without yet?

      • Amazingly on 14/03/2024 - 21:57

        I just connected today without a VPN but just to confuse them I’m on holidays in Thailand :)

        The top shows are showing those in Thailand.

        Was looking at the cost to connect here and it’s not much cheaper than Australia.

          If you're in another country I thought you'd have to use a VPN anyway? Or did it think you're travelling like Disney.

          Tidal is cheaper here, ฿219/month (hi-fi plus family), ~$10 🤣.

          • Amazingly on 17/03/2024 - 13:57

            @G-rig: Yes like Disney, Prime etc.
            Thanks for the Tidal tip!

  • Peterrav on 19/03/2024 - 06:55

    Just FYI , my BR basic with plan ads , survived one entire month … : )
    But i'm afraid that if i continue will be cancelled , so end of month i cancelled the substipion.

    Was using revolut CC , and survived , i'm admired :) .

  • PuppetMaster000 on 19/03/2024 - 06:58

    Can anyone who is using gift cards or resubbed with gift cards confirm if that method works without issues?
    If nobody got cancelled that used gift cards, maybe the method still works but you simply have to keep adding the gift cards instead?
    I know Nigeria doesn't have any but Turkey does.

    • Peterrav on 19/03/2024 - 10:07

      acc to reedit yeap works without issues Gift cards. But try and see for urself.

    • G-rig on 19/03/2024 - 10:43

      I'd give it another month or two to see if those folk get cancelled. Waste of time IMO, especially if people aren't even daring to fire up the service for the first month. Plenty of other stuff to watch and rotate a few other services/trials/Stremio+RD

      • Peterrav on 21/03/2024 - 01:45

        Seems like u getting to like Stremio + RD + Kodi ! :)
        Well is much cheaper at least.

        • G-rig on 21/03/2024 - 06:37

    • G-rig on 19/03/2024 - 23:08

      So how do you know it's working lol.

      Report back in 1 and 2 months.

  • Maxdax on 19/03/2024 - 22:34

    Mine working all good - second payment debited - I only used via Nigeria VPN for the first 30 days ( used max 4-5 days in that first month) now using it without VPN almost daily - touché!

  • croccer on 21/03/2024 - 01:53

    Second payment completed with Revolut card. Started watching full time after the second payment without VPN. No issues so far. I sail high seas too btw. So, not much to lose for me.

    • Maxdax on 24/03/2024 - 21:08

      Do you share it with a family member at a different address or just yourself ? I’m hesitant of sharing as last time the Nigerian account was closed within 4hrs of sharing with my brother

      • croccer on 24/03/2024 - 21:53

        Not sharing with anyone as I shared the last (Nigerian account) with my overseas family and I reckon that's what triggered the anamolous activity trigger cancellation. Not planning to share with anyone apart from my wife.

        • G-rig on 25/03/2024 - 07:32

          Defeats the purpose, the people sharing would want to use a VPN not to upset it (and no doubt they would forget and muck it up!).
          Good it's working, report back in a month see if it's fine still.

          There's nothing stopping them doing another across the board audit and booting people off again, but go for it whilst it's working.

            @G-rig: Hmmm. Like I said, I don't care much. But, I myself have accidentally connected with this account to Netflix, when connected to a VPN (Windscribe US) and Cloudflare Warp (Zero Trust). So, it looks like the monitoring is concentrated towards the beginning. Will update in a month's time.

    it's almost been a month but my nigerian account is still active. I did pause billing and it's almost end of pause period but can still log into account without VPN via PC. Not actively using because still have turkey account. hopefully i didn't speak too soon LOL.

    Just got my 3rd month debit of A$3.73 for the basic plan today. Haven’t been using a VPN the past month.

    Noticed it’s a bit more than the cost in the OP. Maybe it’s gone up!

    Still, with my crappy eyesight the basic (lower res) looks fine on our TCL 4K to me.

    Edit: no price is the same N2900, must be exchange rate $A

    • WhyMe20 on 15/04/2024 - 21:40

      Nice..I subscribed HD (24 Mar) and just waiting for the auto debit to happen,
      I logged on my phone using VPN and the acc is still active ..

      Are you using the Netflix app on TV(TCL) or any 3rd party device(Shield, Apple, CWGTV, Fire..) ?

      • Amazingly on 15/04/2024 - 22:07
        +1

        Have used Netflix app on TV(TCL), Nvidia Shield and iPhone.

        Not at once though :)

        I use the Shield when I need a VPN as it doesn’t work on the TCL. Some issue I can’t figure out.

        • WhyMe20 on 16/04/2024 - 07:48

          Thanks, I've got the TCL C845X1 and use it only for display, Apps on Shield pro, ATV, XboxX, PC ..

          was just curious .. my 4k sub got cancelled(in 8-10 days) the last couple of times when i used the above devices without VPN..

          Maybe 3rd time lucky with HD sub and hopefully Shield AI Upscaling is pretty decent .. :)

          is there an option to upgrade to 4k sub on accounts page? are you planning to upgrade or just use the HD as its working ??

            +1

            @WhyMe20: Ahh ok understand. I use the app on the TLC without VPN now and have done for at least a month.

            Yes there is an option to upgrade and Netflix has actually asked if I wanted to within the apps.

            Not planning to upgrade at all as a tight-a and eyesight not great anyway. At a distance I don’t see a major difference.

  • timhn on 18/04/2024 - 19:59

    Nigeria exchange rate is higher this month. Paid $6.83 this month vs $4.76 last month on premium plan.

      me too did't ask phone verification , and this number still wait verify

    I try on 22/4/2024 Worked

  • tango68 on 24/04/2024 - 22:09

    I just restart subcription then cancel it, use it without vpn and share with sister no issues. Just anoying that you will need to restart subcription after 30 then cancel next day.
    By doing this they can not cancel your subscription becuase you already cancel before them. Note that after you cancelled you still can use nextix until next bill

    • CodeXD on 24/04/2024 - 22:16

      This is "You can't fire me because I quit" vibe lol

  • tango68 on 24/04/2024 - 22:32

    Yes, fun to trick netflix, has been working for 4 months now, this month let me try not cancel it to see if they cancel me.
    Note. I used revolute card, and vpn only for restart subcription and cancel.

    WARNING. Do not use the Nigerian VPN app. I’m not sure how but it’s been siphoning my account t details. Check your Facebook activity for login traffic. Can anyone else confirm?

    • CodeXD on 28/04/2024 - 17:16

      Which VPN app?

          There are 10 pages of comments - you're trying to warn someone but first they have to go through 10 pages to see which VPN have been mentioned a couple of times and confirm whether or not their facebook page is affected by the same "mystery activity" you are getting? lol

          That's like saying "avoid the restaurant in Sydney, I got food poisoning"

            @CodeXD: I literally just said it. Nigerian VPN. No food poisoning example to illustrate the point required. Also there’s a search function. Surely that’s enough for you lol

              @perthite: It doesn't hurt to confirm that it is called 'Nigerian VPN', because to someone who hasn't used the app before it sounds generic. No need to be an (profanity) dude.

  • offroad007 on 08/05/2024 - 06:57

    hey guys, I have successfully activated Netflix Nigeria this morning using my ANZ NZ visa debit card. At 1st attempt it said something wrong with payment, but when I re-entered same card details, it worked. When it asked for mobile number, I pressed back button twice and I was shown Netflix movies/tv shows home page. this was all done via keep solid Nigeria VPN.

    I haven't tried using Netflix without VPN yet. is it best to wait for couple of days before I start using it without VPN?
