YouTube Premium cheaper via Argentina or India

Probably. Is it an email from Google or Apple?

Yes, Just did it by first cancelling the plan and subscribing through Humbles method.

there is no yearly plan available. But a single month of Premium costs ₹195 and Family is ₹389, while YT Music alone is ₹155 and ₹235 for the Family plan. So do the math 195 * 12 = ₹2340 which is around 28 USD

I recommend to only buy enough for a single month first, so you can test if it will work. Then you can always top your balance up later on.

At step one you just need to select India for the country (I will clarify it better in the description). Yes you need to use an alternative e-mail to create a new Apple account since it needs to be a separate account from your original Apple account. But you don’t have to change your YouTube account when signing up for Premium, since that is separate from your Apple account. The new account is only for payment, it doesn’t change the account of your iOS device. You just revert back to the original account for payment after you signed up.

Try a different device and sign up here https://music.apple.com/us/new => sign-in. And use your different e-mail address. Don’t use a temporary email, create a new gmail or something if you don’t have a secondary address yet.

i do this one wayback in covid year,now im not sure, but it still works on my old cc

Still figuring that one out

I did the whole proccess again
Vpn
India
Logged through web browser

And it worked fine
The price increase was minimal in my case

Thank you for the reply. That makes me feel better.

The amazon link you sent still doesn’t work for me, maybe it`s an issue with my card itself. I’ll try the other links tho thanks

I had to enter an address using my iPhone (via the Appstore) instead of via my laptop. That worked without a problem.

I got the same and it’s from Google I’m also not using any apple products and I’m on the family plan

From Google, and we’re on the family plan.

I have a mac and Android, will it work for me? Thanks!

Thank you.

So making a new user on OS, seems easier to me, than messing with an existing user and logging out. (I can always it delete later). That would work too right?

You said on another post that you can’t refill your Rubies gift card in YT once it’s set up, is that correct? Because I only want to get a small value Rubies gift card to try it in case it doesn’t work. Once it does work I’d buy a much larger card. Or if it doesn’t work, and I can spend the Rubies gift card in the US, then it doesn’t matter. What your advice on this?

thank you, I was able to do it with the Apple Music website. Now im stuck on step 1 of the iOS part, as none of the phone numbers work (my number, google voice, etc) it just keeps saying that “verification codes can’t be sent to this phone number” I get this message on iOS as well as the iTunes/Apple Music desktop app.

After a while of fiddling around with different apps/services, I had the idea that maybe I could redeem the gift card codes online by logging into the same apple music web portal where I created the account in the first place. There is a link in the settings that says “Redeem promotional code” which I am assuming is for the gift cards? Or is it something else? Anyway I bought two gift cards from the provided link at amazon.in but when I copy/paste the gift card code from web it just says “cannot redeem code. the code you entered cannot be found.”

I also tried logging into the account at account.apple.com using my own phone number for the verification code and that worked, however, the next screen after logging in and doing the 2FA code says “Apple Account & Privacy” and has the terms or whatever and the “Continue” button at the bottom doesn’t work when I click on it. I checked the web inspector console and it says “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 ()”

Google now requires a local credit card :frowning:

what vpn did you use?

Which card did you use? I’m trying with a Monzo virtual card and it’s giving me: “Transaction declined. This purchase requires a payment method from your billing country. [OR_RECR_05]”

no worries, nothing to worry about, take it easy and take care.
