Disney+ via Türkiye: TRY₺349.90 Per Year (~NZ$34) - VPN Required Only to Register @ Disney+

660

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.

    Been trying on and off for 2 days and finally got it to work!!

    Created a new Google account on a reset phone (not sure if this is required).

    installed windscribe

    opened a incognito window with vpn on and set to turkey.

    Searched Disney + on browser there is an option to pay via the website.

    entered payment details (anz debit), vpn still on and it worked!!! :D

    • Good stuff.
      The more options the better as there definitely isn't a 'one size fits all' to get it working.
      Took me a few days as well.

      • Thank you for bringing it to our attention! :)

        Such a great deal! Just rediscovered the cartoon Doug and watchung now :)

    • +1

      I wonder if you could just use a VPN to Turkey on a PC and sign up through the browser normally?

      • I don't see why not? worth a shot.

      • Please do let us know how it went :-)

      • It didn't work for me using Cyberghost VPN on Windows 11. The Disney+ sign up page wont load at all.

    • i tried this method as well, failed at the payment step as it says the country of registered ( assume that means Turkey) is different to the country of origin of credit card

      • Interesting that it worked for FPLShane but not for you.

        • i tired all the methods but none work, all failed at payment step

          • @organicLv: Same for me. Failed at payment step.

            • +1

              @Banto: have a look at stevarja's comment, it helped me to get through the payment stage

    Finally I made it works after several days on/off trying. Basically I followed fishbomb instructions but as many pointed, I had that common problem which the Google Payment failed.

    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 ###(IMPORTANT!!! don't skip this step, power cycle phone if necessary)
    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

    Install free Windscribe VPN. NORDVPN DOESN'T WORK. idk why. It just does not. Tried with many of its servers.
    Connect to Turkey (get Istanbul if u can, but i don't think this matter too much beyond luck)
    Force close Disney+ app and Google Play Services app AND clear cache. (i think this is my biggest point of what i got stuck with before)

    Open Disney+ app on phone and pay in TRY.

    • Glad you got it sorted in the end.

    • +1

      This is it! Thank you very much!! the "Force close Disney+ app" helps, and my payment is finally accepted!!!
      thank you and thanks to @bigcheese and @fishbomb
      i dont actually watch Disney plus much but still very excited when my payment is finally accepted, weird right

      • +1

        Not weird at all.
        It’s the thrill of getting it to work!

        • Yup, 30 dollars well spent just for the excitement! :-)

    I couldn’t get android options to work for me but I had success using an iPhone with a Turkish account + Turkish gift cards

    • Hi can I ask how did you get the Turkish gift card?

  • Are you guys able to get Disney plus working with a virtual WISE card? I followed the steps and I see payment amount in turkish currency but it fails google payment. thoughts?

    • Yes I did it with both a Wise Visa debit card and a Westpac Credit Card.

      Did you turn off the VPN before going back into the Disney app?

      • No I had vpn on the whole way and I added a virtual Wise card to the google and it still mentioned the country issue.

        • There are a few different methods that others have mentioned in the thread when they couldn't get my method to work.

          Maybe try this as mentioned by stevarja in the comments above.

  • I followed that method. I get the error something went wrong. please try again. if the problem persists, visit the disney help centre.

    • All I can say is keep trying.
      It took me a few attempts to get it to work and you can definitely use your Wise card.
      I even had a Disney account blocked for suspicious activity on one of my attempts so ended up creating a completely new account.

      • Do you think the problem is the fact im using an android tablet and not a mobile phone?

        • No I wouldn't have thought so.
          It works using the Google subscription service which I assume should be the same for both tablet and phone (but I don't know for sure as I usually use iPhone!).

          As long as you are using a completely new google profile (that's why I used a factory reset phone to make sure but others have found this not necessary) then it should work.

          Be interested to see if anyone else got this to work using a tablet as opposed to a phone.

  • Anyone had issues signing up with wise? Google won't verify my card with turkey down for the address

    • I got it to work with Wise.
      See my comment above to ashnz

    • Worked fine with a Wise Virtual Card for me.

      • how did you register it with google pay? This seems to be where im tripping up, everything else is showing correctly in disney+

        • I thought we were discussing Google - if you are trying to subscribe to Disney+ then what I did to subscribe to Google One is not particularly relevant.

          • @Alan6984: yes, my wise card wont pass the google checks with turkey down as my region

            • @dave8501: Sorry - I thought we were discussing subscribing to GoogleOne via VPN through Turkey - my bad.

              • @Alan6984: Having said that, for GoogleOne, I VPNd to Turkey, created a new Google account, added a Turkish payment profile (including my Wise Virtual Card Details), and then Google's pricing was shown in TRY.

                I would definitely not use any existing Google account that I cared about to do something like this, just in case it caused issues down the track (Google Play Store apps for Turkey for example).

                Disney+ could well be different of course - I haven't tried that.

                Alan.

                • @Alan6984: Reading the comments below from Dave and Patrick, it gives the impression that Disney+ is the problem, and is rejecting their Wise cards too.

                  • @Alan6984: I think it is a combination of google play and disney+. The rejection is at the google payment step so definitely more google than disney. I might retry after a few days.

                    • @patwobbly: I haven't tried Disney+ but is there any reason to go through Google to pay for Disney+?

                      Why not just VPN to Turkey, go to Disney+ and subscribe?

                      Sorry if that is a stupid question!

                      Alan.

                      • @Alan6984: That doesn;t work unfortunately.
                        Wish it did as it would be a lot easier!

                        There are some comments over on OzBargain in regards to getting it to work on iOS using gift cards.
                        Link to recent comment here if it helps anyone.

                        • @bigcheese: Fair enough - all I can say is, 'Good luck!'

                        • @bigcheese: I'm reluctant to try this.

                          1. I don't want to risk wasting the gift cards if anything goes wrong.
                          2. I don't have any iOS devices.
                      • @Alan6984: Doesn't work that way. You will get a payment error at the last step.

                        • @patwobbly: Hi Patrick,

                          Is your comment a repeat of BigCheese' comment from earlier, or referring to something else?

                          If something else, please can you elaborate?

                          Thanks,

                          Alan.

                          • @Alan6984: Sorry I mean you can't just VPN to Disney+ website and add a credit card to subscribe directly. Everything will show up as TRY but it will fail at the last step.

                            • @patwobbly: Correct - that is what BigCheese already said above.

  • No luck doing this. Tried multiple Wise cards and multiple new google accounts. All failed at the last step after selecting the payment method. Error message is "Your transaction can't be completed. To continue this transaction, use a different payment instrument or contact us".

    This message is coming from google pay. I wonder if they have added something new to prevent this? Has anyone signed up successfully recently with this method?

  • I don't know if it's wise or Google play. As I managed to get a transaction through on the play store with the same wise card Disney is rejecting

    • I used the same wise card for Argentina YouTube premium and Turkey Netflix without issues. My Westpac credit card doesn't work either.

      Also I can use the same card/payment profile to buy and refund a game from Turkish play store. Just can't sub to Disney plus.

  • +1

    I finally got this to work. Follow all the steps everyone else took, however i needed to update my physical address to Turkey in google play as well as having turkey down on my card. I was required to complete a verification code through WISE card

    I then made a purchase through playstore for 2 try after that it worked. I only used VPN when updating my address to istanbul mcdonalds for my creditcard and residential address. I was only able to sucessfuly do this for a monthly sub

    • Pleased you got there in the end.
      Persistence pays off!

      • i almost gave up. Hopefully my monthly payments go through smoothly or i manage to successfully convert to a yearly subscription.
        Seems like it snuck through due to the google play purchase. If anyone else wants to take a gamble on this method. Fruit Ninja is 2 try and i believe you can get it refunded if cancelled soon enough

        Heres a quick run down for anyone else who is stuck

        Open new Google account
        Set up payment using Turkey as country, update physical address on account to match
        Download disney plus while connected to VPN in desktop and incognito mode
        Make any purchase on google play. Earn 2 die is 0.59 try
        Sign up and pay now i believe the key to this is how quickly you sign up after your google play purchase

        • man you gave me hope again. So you changed your WISE address to Turkey as well?

          • @patwobbly: Hi Patrick,

            I left that the same, but there is a section in your google profile to update your physical address and i updated that to Turkey. I think i found it under settings in the google play profile

            i'm not sure if it was that or the google play purchase that got it through, still no luck converting to a yearly subscription though. Im getting the same error i was getting before

            • @dave8501: Did a quick test and it is worse than my previous attempts. It doesn't even let me buy fruit ninja.

  • oh thats weird. seems to be no real rule to getting it to work :(

  • +1

    This is awesome thanks. Just got a new phone so thought I'd give it a go as my flybuys month just finished too. Worked first time easily and was only $31.71 on wise card. This will keep the wife and kids happy for a while.

    • That's great.
      When I signed up at the beginning of the month it was $34.23 on my Wise card so looks like it's even better now.
      Can't really complain for $2.65 per month!

  • FYI was able to sign up, but only to monthly, not annual. Had to complete a separate purchase on google play store first it seemed to validate the account.

  • What are you guys watching on Disney+?

    I'm currently watching the Obi show. Not bad.

    • I don't watch much on Disney+ at all - usually the kids using it.
      My son has watched all of Obi and loved it.

      I've been watching Blindspot on Netflix.
      Really enjoyed the first couple of series but it's getting a bit of same thing repeated now.

  • I have wasted a couple of hours on this. The android and apple methods did not work. In the end, I went on eBay and discovered someone selling a private Disney+ account on your personal email address for GBP 16.99 ~ 32.89 NZD. I got a one-year subscription to my personal email address. Here is the link to the sale if someone is still interested.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/374190986279

    • Loaded with current value.. no problems with exchange rates or which currency is loaded? It says new accounts can it be an email address that was cancelled last year?

      • A quick Google suggests these cards are purchased using stolen credit cards, and the 12 month subscription is subsequently cancelled by Disney.

        • The seller has some codes from Samsung UK Disney promotions; 12 months free subscription.

          If you had an existing account with Disney, you can delete that Disney account from Account settings or create an alias of your email, for example. [email protected].

          This has nothing to do with a stolen credit card, the seller is providing you a promo code.

          • +1

            @sarmadsoomro: Thanks! Can confirm it did work. Have to use UK VPN or get the seller to create the account for you.

  • Hi everyone, just wondering, is this still usable? thanks!

  • Lightyear now available.

  • Is there any difference between in content between regions like there is with Netflix?

  • How long does it take for Gc to arrive. It's been processing. I use wise

  • Just got this working. Chur bigcheese and everyone in the comments. Ozbargain method mostly worked for me, but use Firefox on your phone to access the Google play store website as chrome kept opening the play store app instead. I also had Turkish windscribe on the entire time. Teşekkür ederim!

  • Thanks - just followed the Android method, didn’t restore from new just signed out of my Google account and made a new one on device when opening play store.

    However, when I went to buy for the year, it said 349TRY/month, not year, but had Disney+ yearly. I want to subscribe to the year since the price is increasing in December, but not keen on paying 349/month if it’s not a glitch lol. Anybody else get this?

    Worked perf with my BNZ card and monthly 34.99TRY tho!

  • Monthly works fine but I want to pay for yearly how do I do that
    Help please. There's no setting in play store

  • Got this to work for my parents (they want to watch Only Murders in the Building). Thanks OP.

  • FYI price has increased:

    TRY₺64.99 / month (~NZD5.44 / month)
    TRY₺649.90 / year (~NZD54.37 / year)

    • Crikey. Looks like I got in at the right time. Paid 349.90 Lira on the 5th.
