Is it possible to get a virtual credit card for a different country?

I wanted to get my mom YouTube Premium for her birthday but don't want to pay the ridiculous annual price for my country (especially since she mostly just watches YouTube shorts). She uses an iPhone so trying to get adblocker would be too much of a hassle, especially if it stops working. She won't be able to figure out how to fix it.

I've tried using account sellers in the past but the last one I used had some issues and now I can't add my mom's YouTube account to a different family account for another year.

I am able to use a VPN to buy premium for cheaper from a different country but they require a credit card for that country. Is it possible to get a virtual debit/credit card for different countries?

Isn't Jailbreaking a thing anymore for iPhones? In the past when I had one, I had it all the time.

Imgonnatrythis ,

Always but I abandoned iphones years ago when the cat and mouse game got to be too much. To stay consistently jailbroken requires some serious dedication.

Correct me if this changed but you can pay for premium in India with a regular card, you just have to provide fake billing address. I've been doing this for years now so maybe I'm grandfathered into some old payment scheme but I'm fairly sure my gf did this recently too when she had to switch from Argentina.

Yeah as far as I know this still works.

You need to use a valid address (there are sites for generating one)

You also need to use a credit card that has never previously been used in Google with another address

brickfrog ,

That sounds correct. AFAIK most countries in the world do not do credit card AVS (address verification service) so aside from a select few countries you would be able to enter just about any address for those country's cards.

e.g. related discussion https://money.stackexchange.com/questions/11979/in-what-countries-can-credit-card-merchants-use-address-verification or just search the internet for other sources.

The one catch is the card would have to be from that country that doesn't support AVS e.g. for India I think you are saying that you used an India based card, right?

Why not just install ReVanced?

because they said for iPhone

No build for iPhones, huh...

Remind me again why people buy those...

Skill issue.

What skill, if you use whatever the manufacturer tells you to, they are all the same.

TwilightKiddy ,

Apple products are usually easy to use and hellishly restrictive, preventing the dum-dum user from breaking it. Phones that run under Android allow for much more customization and utility, to the point you can "soft lock" your OS.

Apple is less functional, easy to use, hard to break (software-wise, at least).
Android is more functional, though requires skills to get to the functionality and not break anything.

Meaning those with the skills use Android. Thus, skill issue.

@0x4E4F@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Android warns you every step of the way if you do stuff the manufacturer and Google don't advise (basically, anything that doesn't come from the PlayStore or messing with services and permissions). If you're an average Joe, certainly you're not gonna do those things. Manually installing apps not in the PlayStore requires you to first find those apps, which is not something your average Joe will do. Messing with permissons or services, again, regular users wouldn't even know where to find those settings or what they mean, let alone know what bypassing those will do... and you get warned all the way through the process. Even if you accidentaly tap on something, if it's an advanced setting, it will awarn you, and you have a countdown before you can tap Yes or tick the "I agree" box or whatever. Certainly a regular user will understand that this is not something to be messed with, so it will not choose to bypass those settings.

Could just use safari with an adblocker. Let's you cast too through airplay.

jasep ,

On an iPhone?

CaptainBasculin ,

Another alternative could be Google Play gift cards from cheaper countries. You can buy Youtube Premium through it. Look up their currencies and search gift cards with that currency.

Proprivacy.com give you what you are looking for (various articles on topics). Also check out https://privacy.com . Rossmann recommended.

impudentmortal OP ,

Proprivacy.com seems more like reviews for VPNs and other privacy services. They listed one service, blur that looked promising. Unfortunately, it's only available to use for US merchants.

Privacy also looked promising. However, they require users to provide their SSN and that's not something I want to give for something small like this.

Do you know of anything similar for non-US residents?
