- Make sure you’re using a VPN and switch to the NZ region.
- Unsubscribe from everything in your app store, including iCloud.
- Remove your card or any payment method you’re using.
- When you reach the part where you need to enter your payment method, select “None,” then fill in the billing address and hit “Next.”
- Download the game.
you don’t need a VPN to download the game or unsubscribe/remove payments etc, you just need a New Zealand based apple ID. Which is super easy to do, and best to do on the icloud website since it doesnt ask for card/payment method. For billing info you can either google “New Zealand address generator”, if you don’t wanna do that you can just type random shit, but do note zip codes or whatever are 4 digits. The billing I put in for my Japanese apple account was 123 ABC St.
You DO need a VPN on when you open the game or you will get a “Not available in your country” message.
Locked out of Apple account switching for an hour. Did anyone else face this when switching?
Has anyone figured out how to make in app purchases with the new New Zealand Apple ID? It seems to not allow USA based cards to be added as a payment method for in app purchases. Do you have to do something with gift cards or something?
Pretty sure they closed this loophole.
Tried creating a new Apple ID in NZ territory and can’t use a google voice number for the phone #
For phone number, does it need to be a NZ phone number, or can I just use my US number?
Got a recommendation for vpn? preferably free…
I changed my region and then changed back without issues. But I changed it from Settings > My Picture / Name at the top > Content and Purchases
No idea if other people is using other menus to reach the same goal.
can just use US phone number, I’ve used it for US, JP and now NZ accounts no problem
TunnelBear is the one I tried this morning and worked 
I managed to dowload the game and reach the maintenance screen successfully
I got an error while trying to to update the game files
