    Is go better than plus

      • +10

        or asked ChatGPT

      • +60

        Even though I knew the answer it seems like a fair question to me. A post should have that context on the deal or the comments section.

      • +9

        Daddy chill.

      • +7

        Fair comment. Why are people disputing a comment and showing zero tolerance? Why can’t they show that same zero tolerance toward the ever-rising cost of living and property prices?

        • +2

          66% of people want property prices to hold or inflate.

          • +2

            @Big L: I doubt the offsprings of these 66% people would even be able to afford a property of their own.

            • +1

              @mynameisborat: They can't even afford the land tax on the inheritance. They should cull stamp duty for downsizers.

  • +1

    Does it have codex access?

    • +3

      No

      Go
      Get more access to our most popular features

      ₹399
      / month
      Get Go
      Everything in Free and:
      Extended access to our flagship model GPT‑5

      Extended access to image generation

      Extended access to file uploads

      Extended access to advanced data analysis

    • Have you tried codex? Is it really much better than gpt 5?

      • Yes I tried, it is not better than gpt 5. It still makes mistakes but at least you don't need to be prompting constantly , it has a self correcting mechanism where it will test the code itself and give you the PR at the end with working code. But the working code is only as good as your prompt and it's understanding of what you want

        • Nice mate, I have to check it out, apparently it comes with pro/enterprise subscription with limited premium hits I have heard

    • I have a link for 3months of plus free which includes codex (it may or may not work lol) worked for me though.

  • -1

    Can you use any vpn app?

    • +3

      No, just the VPN apps from India

  • +2

    Step 2 needs to be done within island?

  • -1

    Iphone does not work, am I correct?

  • +1

    OpenAI loves India better !

  • +9

    If it's free then you're the product…

    • +8

      They want to analyse Indians free of cost.

      • +16

        I do it for free and they call me a racist..

        • -3

          that won’t impact your dole payment

      • After US, India is the only biggest market to get data. China wont allow US companies to their citizens data.

    • +3

      i can't wait to never see that trite reddit line ever again

    • +1

      Or they just want to artificially grow market share

  • +30

    Do not redeem

  • +2

    If doing the Island method, you need to install 'any' browser app within the Island as the ChatGPT google account authentication happens through a browser. At least, that what I had to do. YMMV

  • Can you cancel subscription right after you sign up?

    • Yes, I cancelled immediately after signing up and still have access until Nov 2026.

  • Does it have to be Google Chrome or are you on those people that think web browser and Google Chrome are both the same thing?

  • I followed all the steps but cant find "Try On"/"Upgrade to Go"

    • Same

      • same only try plus

      • managed to get it now, you have to use the specific INDIA VPN in the steps, can not use any VPN

        • Used the specifc INDIAN VPN in steps, I cannot see "Try On"/"Upgrade to Go" @456

          Can only see Upgrade to Plus

          The issue was with VPN, I managed to get this done by using chatgpt on the browser, before you do that open chrome and make sure you are in Mumbai with "Where am I"

          • @madeo: On the browser did u have to add the debit card details again or did it take u to the play store? Mine is asking me to enter the card details.

    • I found it in a different part, click on your username and then into settings

      Under account it said upgrade to go for free

  • got it to work, thanks op

  • If all the AI company are given out free 12months, how do they make money?

    • +4

      Information is power my friend. Number of users is money. You can create money out of nothing but going to a bank and saying I have 1 billion subs. Lend me moolah. or same with investors.

      Or you can just create a random coin if you are an orange beast. Everyone buys coin then beast is now richer.

      • -2

        Sounds like this orange beast needs to be hunted and exterminated…

        • slippery fella. Do not try to hunt or work for him. You will end up in jail.

    • +4

      Basically they are in so deep with investment that they don't want to admit that it might all be a waste, so they are putting even more money in to try to recover that sunk cost. Nvidia is already pricing in several countries worth of profits, yet no one actually wants this stuff as soon as they have to open their wallet…
      So eventually there will be a huge collapse where a lot of the smaller companies fold and the big ones remain because the rest of their business still makes actual money.

      • Time for some stock options? ;)

      • Personally, for my need, I will never pay for any AI subscription, the free version is good enough.

        • There ultimately won't be free versions

    • They want more information to train their AI.

      • As long as your information is still valuable, they can keep give away for free. Until they have no money to pay the power bills, they can introduce Ads maybe. Most if not all digital services are free at the start. Now you can ask how they slowly charge and how we pay lots every year.

  • is this better than M365 Copilot ChatGPT 5?

  • +1

    better than perplexity PRO?

    • +1

      Ya perplexity gives you the same models unless someone needs a niche model. Perplexity also needs a PayPal account mind for getting the free pro

  • thanks op

  • +2

    Is there a chance the chat could bend?

  • Thanks - worked well

  • Thanks! worked well.

  • Would an Australian debit card work? I'm getting your card has been declined message.

    • Yes, I used an Australian debit card successfully.

    • Worked for me, I used my standard revolut card

    • Use Australian Address

      • I did try, but still getting the same message.

    • My Australian Commbank debt card worked with an Indian address inputted

      • Did you use your own name or an Indian sounding name?

        • It didn't ask for a name from memory, just card number, cvc, expiry and address. Possibly it autofilled my name from the Gmail account, at least I don't remember typing a name

  • +1

    Ask GPT what the population of Dewan & Sons Industrial Estate, Gokhiware, Evershine City is
    GPT: unpredictable growing at the moment

  • Keep showing preauth integrity verification failed, not sure if lsposed or magisk caused this

  • India is currently the largest active customer base for Chatgpt now. I can imagine with this GO subscription, they going to have a even larger pool of customers using their model and the abundance of data points is going to make the model even better.

    the future looks bright for chatgpt

    • China uses deep seek and 豆包. China is still behind but they have plenty of renewable power to supply their AI, meaning they can grow very fast.

    • +1

      So in future I can expect AI to call me and tell me there is a problem with my computer?

  • worked for me thanks

  • Can iOS apple iPhone users get any discounts like this? I’m paying full price and not too happy

    • You could probably get something like bluestacks and redeem this deal

  • So does that mean I need a new chatgpt account? Will I lose all my history?

    • Yes you will start anew. Please don't be mod about it though.

  • +3

    I'm from India. If anyone is interested, can help to set up an Indian Payment method in their ChatGPT Go Account. Happy to help.

    • Im interested. How can you help? Dm me please

    • I'd be keen too. thanks! If you could DM?

      • Yes, sure DM me.

  • Amazing, it worked.

  • Won't let me cancel subscription after signing up. "Something went wrong while cancelling your subscription"

    • I got the same error message

  • Dam i clearly stuffed it my says get plus up the top.

  • I just upgrade to GO via india apple id 🤭. Easy for those have india apple id.
