Credit to PissLUR on OzBargain for this one.

Disney+ is finally available in Turkey and much like some of the Netflix workarounds it is possible to get this for a significantly reduced price with a little bit of effort.
I have been trying this for a few days now without success and finally managed to get it to work last night.
My initial attempts came up with error messages like 'google pay purchases are not supported in your country' and even got a 'due to suspicious activity we have blocked your Disney account'.
If you read through the OzBargain post you will see a lot of different methods - VPN/No VPN, Phone/Computer.
The below is what worked for me. I did this twice with a years subscription and a month using both a Wise card and NZ credit card so can confirm it works.

Charge on Wise card for the year was $34.23 or $3.45 for the month on my Westpac Card. By comparison it is $129.99 for the year or $12.99 per month here.
Note the VPN is only required for setup it is not needed afterwards.

My method:

  • Factory reset Android Phone
  • VPN to access Turkey (I used Windscribe which you can get 10GB free per month)
  • Credit Card - I have tested this with both a Wise card and my NZ Westpac Credit card

Steps

  • Factory reset android phone (I had a spare Galaxy A10)
  • Create new Google Account - name, DOB etc
  • Choose Gmail address - skip the phone number
  • Go to Play Store
  • Download Windscribe (this is what I used but any VPN that can access Turkey should be fine)
  • Turn on VPN and set it to Turkey (on Windscribe use Turkey-Istanbul-Ataturk which is free)
  • Go back to Playstore - Payments & Subscriptions - Payment Methods - Add credit/debit card
  • Change country to Turkey (as soon as I did this I had to repeat the payment process but it worked)
  • Postal Code: 06010
  • Save
  • Download Disney Plus from Playstore - still had VPN on so it was slow even though file was only 18MB
  • Once downloaded turn off VPN
  • Open Disney App and choose sign up now
  • Should see prices in TRY - 34.99/month or 349.90/year
  • Enter email, password
  • You should now be able to complete signup.
  • Disney+ can be watched on your other devices without the need for VPN going forward.

    This is awesome good effort bigcheese!

    • bigcheese on 02/07/2022 - 14:31

      I just copied it from OzBargain and posted a method that worked for me.

  • moxpearl on 02/07/2022 - 15:55

    "like some of the Netflix workarounds it is possible to get this for a significantly reduced price"

    Anyone got a link for a NZ centric version of that ? :)

    • bigcheese on 02/07/2022 - 16:18

      Have a read through the link posted by quote above - including the comments.
      Ignore the comments about the chat bot.
      At the time of the thread Argentina was cheapest but I used Turkey.

      Here's another thread

      The key points are:

      • You must cancel your current NZ subscription to Netflix first.
      • All your personal details need to be up to date in Netflix, particularly NZ phone number verified and a credit card loaded before you cancel.
      • Once the subscription lapses then you can reactivate via VPN to Turkey.
      • I used giftcards from Turgame. Others have used credit card*
      • Current pricing the Premium Plan costs less than $8 NZD converted per month, so dirt cheap by comparison to what you pay here.
      • AREREPL on 03/07/2022 - 16:39

        Hi @bigcheese. I'm trying to get Netflix to work but it's taking me to the verify phone number page (using the Turkey website) with the Windscribe VPN. I set up a new account with a new email address to set up the Netflix but can't seem to bypass the mobile phone screen? Any work around you know of?

        • bigcheese on 03/07/2022 - 16:49

          You need to have your phone number verified in NZ first.
          That's why I mentioned about having all your details up to date before you cancel.
          The best way to do that is to let your current NZ subscription lapse first or if you don't have one then subscribe for one month in NZ and then cancel.
          You can't (as far as I know) go direct to a subscription from Turkey with no prior subscription history.

  • Captured1v1 on 02/07/2022 - 16:34

    Has anyone tried doing this with a web browser?

    • bigcheese on 02/07/2022 - 16:38

      Some on the OzBargain site mentioned using BlueStacks as an android emulator with mixed success.
      I did try a web browser and VPN to sign up direct but got errors and couldn't make it work.

      • coach on 02/07/2022 - 22:53

        I tried getting Microsoft 365 from Turkey using a VPN and a Wise Card but they only allow credit cards issued in the country, mine obviously wasn't. It seems that when you use an app, you bypass the service's payment processor and instead use Google's or Apple's, which accepts global cards. That means you would pay 30% more because of AppStore fees, but that is still cheaper than the NZ price.

    • Wakrak on 02/07/2022 - 16:38

      I tried with Bluestacks5 a couple days back but got stuck on the payment screen within Disney+. It was a 10 minute jobby though so could have easily done something wrong.

      I was following the instructions on MyDealz

      seems it's mandatory now, buy some $1 SIMs for future use, always come in handy.

      • bigcheese on 02/07/2022 - 17:00
        +1

        It was optional for me.
        When I got to the third step of creating an gmail address I could skip the phone number.

        I'm no Android expert as I usually use iPhone. This was just what I had spare to try and worked for me.
        Did you do a factory reset first?

    • [Deactivated] on 02/07/2022 - 17:37
      +3

      You can skip phone verification when creating a new Google account on a new phone, just did it on an old phone I had lying around. Factory reset and then when going through setup choose to create a new Google account.

  • Zero on 02/07/2022 - 20:06

    Been trying to get this working for a couple of hours!. Got to the final step where it won’t accept my payment. I see a holding charge on my account though so I might try again tomorrow.

    • bigcheese on 02/07/2022 - 20:15

      What’s the message you get at the payment stage?

      • Zero on 02/07/2022 - 21:04

        “Your transaction can’t be completed. To continue this transaction use a different payment instrument or contact us”

        • bigcheese on 02/07/2022 - 21:25

          That’s a different error to any that I’ve struck.
          Sounds like it doesn’t like your card.
          Did all the other steps work ok?

          Try some of these tips I found online.

          • Zero on 03/07/2022 - 08:43

            @bigcheese: Yeah, I think it is a card issue. I did try BNZ and ASB visa debit cards. I might try again from the top with a new Google account.

            Cheers for posting the deal though! I persevered to get Turkish Netflix and that eventually worked. I have a Plex Pass, Tidal, YouTube Premium and Netflix all paid for in different currencies. Best Cheapies hacks ever.

              @Zero: Newbie to all this, can this be achieved with an iPhone? Or laptop? I don’t own an android

              • bigcheese on 04/07/2022 - 10:20

                @Sarahglasgow: Not at this stage.
                So far all the successful efforts have been using an Android phone that I have seen.
                There is one post here that mentions doing it by iPhone but it involves using giftcards through the App Store in Turkey.
                It you are a newbie I would wait a bit longer unless you can find someone that has an old Android you can borrow.

                Disney Plus has only been available in Turkey for a couple of weeks so give it some time and I'm sure more methods will come out.

                @Sarahglasgow: My wife asked this question the other day during a games night and one of my ahole friend dismissed her by saying if she can afford a $2k iphone, she can afford to pay for Netflix subscription the legitimate way like everyone else- she was furious!!

                  Netflix is definitely able to be done via a computer, it's just Disney that looks a bit trickier at this stage.

                  @brownie1: Maybe due to the fact that she is an astute bargain hunter most of the time, and doesn't pay more than she needs to for things like NetFlix, means that she can afford to spend money renting an iPhone from Apple for $2,000!

  • rb3xu on 02/07/2022 - 22:50
    +1

    I subscribed successfully, but I didn't follow the exact steps.
    No need to reset your phone, connect VPN to the turkey server first.
    Add a new google account in your adriod phone and download Disney plus.
    Open the app and sign up then subscribe to your plan. Google would ask for the payment, just choose your original google account for the payment.
    My one is one the top right-hand corner, you can switch back to your original account from new created one.
    Your NZ/OZ account is now subscribed with Turkey Disney plus, my westpac cc was charged for $35.
    Never ask for a phone number and I think the new turkey google account is only for downloading the app to fool the system.
    Hope this help.

    • bigcheese on 02/07/2022 - 23:02

      Glad you got it working.

    there is other methods from OP in OZbargain
    Thanks to fishbomb's comment I was able to get this to work without even needing a VPN.

    Create new Google account on phone
    Delete cache in Google Play Store (not sure if needed)
    Select new account in Google Play Store
    Add payment method and select Turkey as Country.
    Uninstall Disney+ if you have it installed.
    Open Google Chrome/browser on your phone in an incognito window. Set your window to desktop mode.
    Search Disney+ on Google Play store in your browser.
    Log in on new account and remote install Disney+ to your phone
    Open app on phone and pay in TRY.

      This also comes in handy for other apps on the app store - eg. google drive (2tb -28nzd/year), youtube premium (Individual 16.5nzd/year - Family 30nzd/year), discord (Classic 13nzd/year - Niro 28nzd/year)
      Plex lifetime 40nzd - might have stacked a sale + turkey pricing
      Apps in general 50%+ cheaper

      Spotify is also releasing google pay support later this year so easy transfer to turkish subscription then

      Plenty more, Ill add as I think of others I have bought/ subscribed to

      • Ephixaa on 03/07/2022 - 13:23

        For Google Drive storage, does this mean the storage is on the freshly made Google account? It'd be nice to have it on my current Google account at that price, but is that possible?

        • Rowjo on 03/07/2022 - 18:19
          +1

          yeah I have it on my current google account, I think I even did it through my browser
          The only thing is sometimes it can get a bit buggy during set up, and the easiest way to do it smoothly is through deleting your payment profile (will clear any auto payment subscriptions etc meaning they wont automatically renew)

          https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings

          If it looks set up correctly and isn't working give it an hour or day and come back to it as sometimes it just needs some time

          Google play store under settings also needs it's currency/ payment profile set

          I currently have a NZ and Turkey payment profile on the one email address

          On second thought — I think google drive can just be done with a vpn, it's been about 5 months since I did google drive specifically - but doing payment profile will allow doing other services easily

    Cant all this be done on iphone or macs, pcs?

    • bigcheese on 03/07/2022 - 11:26

      The issue is getting the payment to accept.
      I'm an iPhone user too but couldn't get my payment to accept when I tried it on pc with VPN.
      I have seen online someone talked about using iTunes gift cards through Turkey but didn't want to muck around with that.
      It's the Google subscription that gets around it, hence the need for Android with all the methods I have seen but I'm sure someone will find a method using iOS at some point.

  • quasar on 03/07/2022 - 11:03

    I couldn't get this working with a second account on my Samsung S21 which someone also reported on OZB, but using the new account on a factory reset spare phone worked fine.

    • bigcheese on 03/07/2022 - 11:10

      Yes that’s why I did the factory reset - was just a lot more straight forward than playing with second accounts.
      Plus me being an iPhone user and not so familiar with Android!

      • quasar on 03/07/2022 - 11:37

        In case any one else is having the same problem - it seemed to keep reverting to my primary Google account, I'd get all the way to the payment step in the Disney+ app which would show the price in TRY, I'd hit Subscribe Now and it would say that my payment method was unavailable in my country. Using that same secondary Google account on the second phone VPN'd to Turkey I removed and then added the same credit card as a precaution, disconnected the VPN, opened Disney+ and successfully subscribed.

  • jdsurfer on 03/07/2022 - 13:01

    Hi I'm able to get to the card payment screen on the Disney + Turkey website on my phone with a VPN and it's displaying Turkish currency prices though it says my card doesn't match the region I'm purchasing from . Have used my Wise card , changed to address on my digital card to a Turkish one , converted $40 NZD to Turkish Lira but still no joy . Any suggestions

    • bigcheese on 03/07/2022 - 13:08

      I used the Disney+ app rather than the website.
      Also, once I had the app downloaded I turned the VPN off and then went back into the app.
      This still kept it in TRY but enabled me to purchase with both Wise card and NZ Credit Card.

      Are you using an Android device or trying on iPhone?

  • jdsurfer on 03/07/2022 - 13:21

    When I use the app it displays in NZD on my Android device. On the website it displays in Turkish currency . Just can't purchase because it says my card is from a different region .

    • bigcheese on 03/07/2022 - 13:31

      Did you download the Disney App from the Play Store with the VPN turned on?
      I only turned the VPN off once it was downloaded and from that point everything was in TRY.

      If this still doesn't work you could try some of the other methods, such as mentioned on the Ozbargain post or by rbx064 here

    • ehh on 03/07/2022 - 13:46

      That happened to me, but once getting to the payment screen on the disney+ app it came up as ₺349.90 and charged my card NZD $34.91 . I had the vpn on to download then disabled as disney+ wouldn't load with it on .

      Windscribe allows free 10GB per month.
      It's what I used to get Disney+ as it has a Turkey server you can use as part of the free plan.

      • doubledippps on 03/07/2022 - 14:40

          Should be fine to get Netflix if you are going via Turkey as they have the free server there.
          I found the server very slow (for Disney+ anyway) but as it's only needed for the registration process you can put up with it.

          Not sure about Youtube Premium as I don't use that but I know a number of people do so I'm sure somebody else on here will be able to answer that for you.

    • bigcheese on 03/07/2022 - 21:59

      Did you have the vpn turned off at the payment stage?
      You will get this error if you are still connected via vpn when you go to pay.

      • organicLv on 03/07/2022 - 22:33

        yes it was turned off, i did use NZ credit though

        • bigcheese on 03/07/2022 - 22:52

          The NZ credit card should be fine as it’s paid through a Google subscription which is what makes this possible.
          Did you do a factory reset first?
          This is not strictly necessary as some others have done it without this step but it does ensure no existing profile or payment information comes through that might prevent this from working.

          • organicLv on 03/07/2022 - 23:53

    Worked without having to factory reset phone. Used windscribe vpn and a new gmail id with country set as Turkey and my wise card.

    After having Turkish Netflix, Indian YouTube premium, Indian Spotify, all at reduced prices, it was very disappointing to pay full price for Disney. Tried several times without luck in the past.

    Bigcheese you’re a star!

    • screin on 03/07/2022 - 22:34

        I used both a Wise Debit Visa and an NZ Westpac Mastercard credit card.
        Both worked so shouldn’t be a card problem.

        I used a Kiwibank Visa, but it wouldn't work until I switched to my spare phone with no other Google accounts loaded.

        My Wise card is a Mastercard.

        • Alan6984 on 08/07/2022 - 09:12

          Aren't all Wise cards MasterCard? If not, how do you choose?

          • bigcheese on 08/07/2022 - 09:14

            @Alan6984: No - mine is a Visa which I got in about Dec last year.
            On the website it all refers to Visa now and you can't choose.

            This happens every so often with credit/debit cards with the main banks too.
            Once the contract runs out with Mastercard they change to Visa and vice versa.

              @bigcheese: Interesting - I wonder what would happen if I 'killed' one of my existing virtual cards and replaced it. Would I get a Visa replacement?

              I can't be bothered to try it right now, but it might be possible to have both for a while.

              • bigcheese on 08/07/2022 - 09:26

                @Alan6984: If it's the same as the banks then you will stay as a Mastercard until such time as your physical card expires.
                I would imagine that your virtual cards would also stay as Mastercard, so you might be with them for a while yet.

                • Alan6984 on 08/07/2022 - 09:43

                  @bigcheese: So you think any new virtual cards created will always be the same 'type' as the physical card on our account?

                  I had figured the virtual cards were all independent of the physical one, but I don't know really.

                  I should get off my ass and test it :-)

                  • bigcheese on 08/07/2022 - 10:04

                    @Alan6984: I'm only guessing - the only way to know for sure is to generate a new digital card.
                    I was treating it like your physical card is your 'base number' and all the virtual cards are the equivalent of a suffix off that, albeit with a different number.

                    • Alan6984 on 08/07/2022 - 10:43

                      @bigcheese: More fun to speculate - testing it would just ruin the discussion :-)

                      That's the problem with the net and Google etc. We used to debate things for days, weeks even, whereas now you're just getting into a great discussion over drinks, and some prat goes and finds out the facts online. Boring!!

    Is it possible to subscribe with an existing Disney account, or it has to be a new Account? I understand the method has to be done with a Google account in turkey, but how about the Disney account itself?

    • bigcheese on 04/07/2022 - 08:36

      That I don't know.
      All the instructions I have read are about creating a new account but it may work.
      Just be aware that I did get an account blocked for 'suspicious activity' on an earlier attempt so keep that in mind if you are going to try.

    • hilol on 05/07/2022 - 17:03

      I managed to do this and link it to my existing disney account.

      • idotcucu on 18/08/2022 - 16:04

        @hilol Do you mind share how you did it? Thanks!

        • hilol on 19/08/2022 - 09:19

          Hi

          I used the method on Oz bargain and logged into my existing account at step 9.

          1. Create new Google account on phone
          2. Delete cache in Google Play Store (not sure if needed)
          3. Select new account in Google Play Store
          4. Add payment method and select Turkey as Country.
          5. Uninstall Disney+ if you have it installed.
          6. Open Google Chrome/browser on your phone in an incognito window. Set your window to desktop mode.
          7. Search Disney+ on Google Play store in your browser.
          8. Log in on new account and remote install Disney+ to your phone
          9. Open app on phone and pay in TRY.

            @hilol: Just did exactly like this with my old Disney Plus ID & New Google id. Flawless

          • ruspet on 04/12/2022 - 20:29

            @hilol: Tried resetting an old android phone etc without luck. But this method worked perfectly and was very quick and easy. Thanks hilol! Only thing is that I initially tried my BNZ visa that I use on my normal google account, that didn't work but I then tried with my AMEX that I've not used before with google play store (not sure which made the difference BNZ visa v AMEX or not previously used with google)

  • Shay84 on 04/07/2022 - 13:36

    Has anyone tried using Google vouchers?

    I can't get my card to work

    • Alan6984 on 08/07/2022 - 10:49

      I haven't, but I could only guess that your vouchers would have to match the currency in which you are trying to pay.

      If your vouchers were, say, USD, and you are trying to pay a TRY subscription, I would have thought it would fail.

      However, notwithstanding my other comment(s), and noting that (slightly misquoted), '… consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds …', by all means let us know :-)
