So no one is going to tell all?
Ok… fine…
Here is the deal…
Number One:
Set VPN to Türkiye (Turkey,) or India (Currently Türkiye is the way to go, but VPNs do not all support that location, so India is the second best place.)
That was a hint to NordVPN to get on it with Türkiye as the prices there are lower than India.
Number Two:
Setup google play payment profile for that location. So, the easy way to do this is to just make a new google account while you are connected to that VPN. Yes there are ways to add multiple payment profiles to a single google account but for simplicity, we are going to say. Make a new account. Use an address in that country. Do not use a residence address or fast food chain address. Use a major federal building address. Something that is not going to come and go with the times.
Just use google map, search for city hall, embassy, or whatever.
Add this address as your address for the account.
** Optional for additional services we will talk about later: For your credit card. Go to your bank, and add this same address as an alternate address for your card. Do NOT mess up and make it your primary address. Make sure is an additional address and nothing is mailed there.
Also while you are at it, find the INTEL or Microsoft customer service phone number for that country and add it to both you google account and you back as ALTERNATE phone numbers. Do not use the 800 numbers, use the local country code numbers.
Now that you have an email, address, phone # and a credit card linking you to that country
you can now use your VPN and shop for anything on Google Play with with you Home country base credit card and get the discount through GooglePlay without triggering any alerts.
So, YouTube lets you subscribe to Prem through GooglePlay subs. Its like $2 for a family sub with India. $1.75 with Türkiye.
This can be done with services like
Netflix
Hulu (Only VPN during Checkout)
YouTube
Discord Nitro
Reddit Coins
Pokemon Go Coins
The list goes on, yeah really. Try anything you can think of.
I have an old phone that is on TürkiyeVPN that I use to top up on POKEMON max coins that cost normally $119… but I pay $30.
Some places do not allow you to use GooglePlay to subscribe, so this is where things get a little tricky, but not too much.
What you have to do for these other services that require you to have a card FROM Türkiye or India is you need to get yourself a prepaid visa for those countries. I am not going to give a site as that will come back and bite me in the a** later if something goes wrong as I do not want to advocate for any given site. I get from one use it up. Some times I can not top the card up six months later and the site is gone. So do NOT leave money on any card. Get what you need and use it. I’ve have yet to be scammed, but I do not recommend leaving cash or connecting these cards to real accounts.
Just google, “Prepaid Visa for traveling to India” or whatever country. Make sure it says it can be activated online, over the phone, or in that country you are in. Most say US or UK. I am in South Korea, so I needed ones I could activate online or via the phone.
Its a plus if they allow more features, like adding a pin, an address, online management. So you can add an address and all that crap. This will help to ensure it; One: Is going to last longer. Two: You can enter your Federal Fake address in there to match it for billing.
Again.
Now you just subscribe to whatever service you want.
HOW TO KEEP IT GOING!
Most services will not really bother checking back up on you. However, You may want to ensure you connect once a month to your “home” country so they know you are there.
But to be honest, I have not connected in a while and have no issues on any of my TVs and I run a LOT of services going this route. Also having a whole home VPN helps to ensure that when I DO remember to connect, the whole house connects.
Hope this helps.
