YouTube Premium Family via VPN - Workaround UKRAINE

VPN
21

worked for me today!
thanks man to help save my money :money_bag:

22

Wait! On Step 3. I was able to create a family plan using vpn. However, when I send the invitation the problem is that the email invites gets this message “it appear you are not in the same county and you can’t join”

I live in the U.S. and the first step to create the family plan and cost worked just fine but the problem is sending invitations to join my family plan.

I have tried changing address in the Google account (Ukraine address) but still doesn’t work.

Any ideas?

23

Hey I did this with a regular YouTube premium and it worked the first month and then the second month and after I got charged the regular price again. Am I doing something wrong?

24

I set up a new account but I need a ukranian phone number to confirm i’m not a robot. How’d you get around that?

25

Hey, how do you create a credit card with an address in Ukraine? Thanks!

Hi,

I cannot either convert currency from EUR to UAH on the iOS app. I even delete the YT app from iOS. Tried completing the subscription via web browser but all I get “Transaction declined. This purchase requires a payment method from your billing country. [OR_RECR_05]”

I have my google payment via Revolut (virtual card). I approve transaction via Revolut app but still I get declined.

Any tips on that?

On THAILAND worked just fine.

Googles family group restrictions says that all family members have to be in the same country. Mabe this Post on Google Help will help you.

“there’s two separate things that need to match. Your payment profiles in Google Pay need to have the same country listed (delete any other payment profiles that don’t match), and the geolocation of your IP address must match the country listed in your Google Pay profiles (use a VPN if you’re not in the correct country; the VPN is only needed on a one-time basis for linking the accounts).”

28

Try go to https://payments.google.com/ an check your payment-method. Select your Mastercard and edit. Check the adress shown. If it’s not an UA adress change into it. I used Google Maps to find a real UA-adress, for example any hotel-adress in Kyiv.

I think they have done a crack down got the same email this morning

30

Same :confused:
OP said under 8) that you can set your credit card to Ukraine. Did any of you try this? Can one just set the location at random with a Visa?

31

Mocht je een manier hebben gevonden, hoor ik het graag!

32

YouTube premium in Ukraine is not available anymore… that’s what app said

33

Same issue here. Not sure if it’s just a Turkey issue, or every country has the same issue.

34

Nope because the ‘parent’ has a Turkish account it assumed everyone else does too. Seperate youtube account is what i did instead.

35

In Step 1 we made an DE-Account (or your Country). All family members have to be located in this country. After the DE-family is created, you can switch to Ukraine with the main account (via VPN). All family members get the Premium-Plan now and stay at their origin country-config.

36

As far as I can see, Google assumes that all family members should be located in the same country. So all the family-accounts have to come from the same country. When you create a “father”-account, it should be located in the same country your family belongs to. When you are located in another country than our family, use a VPN to your families country.

37

Every solution I read deals with credit cards. Please just try if PayPal works and let us know. Imho you can change to credit card if PayPal fails.

38

Delete payment profile from settings on google u will need to do this on all the people who have joined they can’t have any payment profile . Not card details but payment profile it’s not the same thing .

I’m having problem I have everyone invited on my plan but I can’t select Ukraine family plan it only gives me individual and student

39

To avoid the error-message, create the family-group and send the invitations without using VPN. VPN is only needed for the YT-subscription of the “father”-Account via YouTube app in the next step.

If you get in trouble try the hint of “Putrid-Ad-1047”. I’ve not checked if it works properly but sounds good to me.

You need to deactivate it right after you subscribe. Then when it expires, turn the VPN on and subscribe again manually or they will think you don’t live in Ukraine and charge you local price.
