sorted byI am an Indian born living in the UK. I use a Spotify India account here via UPI(Unified payment interface.. Only available in India for Indians). Just now, I tried to top up using the Amazon gift card, which allowed me to do so. I bought the 12-month individual membership from the AZ IN link above and without VPN, I redeemed the card to my account(No VPN) and the sub-expiry date increased by one year.
So, if you use a solo membership, you can leave it to India and top up using a gift card next time.
Also, you will be recommended lots of Indian music at the start but once you use it for a couple of days, They will all disappear. Spotify AI DJ is not available in India yet. If you need that feature, follow the steps above to convert the account to the UK. (edited)
Spotify can be far cheaper than what's quoted above if you have a student ID (.ac account, country doesn't matter). It doesn't work with unidays.
To get an Indian VPN, just follow YT tutorials on how to set up OpenVPN with AWS. It's free for 2 connections and 250mbps download. I use my India Apple ID on my Apple TV as a second account, it allows me to install apps from India. There are some paid VPN wrapper apps for OpenVPN connections on ATV and I stream all the sports from Indian services.
P.S. If you are planning to travel to India, Just sign up for all the services while you are there(Take a Jio sim card with all the addon subs, Pay for a year). People are very helpful, So, just ask them for a UPI account for payment and pay them in cash.
1. Buy an "Annual standard e-giftcard" from Amazon India: amazon.in/Spo…1_4
It is NOT the gift card in the OP. Thanks to for highlighting this gift card option on page 1 of the thread and to the other user replies who confined it worked for them.
It doesn't need an India address and the code came through by e-mail almost instantly. Don't need VPN on, just login with UK Amazon account.
2. Turn on VPN. I used Free Hola VPN Extension for Chrome.
3. Login to Spotify account. Change country to India and then redeem the code, as per OP's instructions.
About an hour later I got a mail from Spotify to say change password due to suspicious activity (as have a few others, see earlier posts).
No issues so far playing music without VPN on - I have Spotify linked to my Amazon Alexa. (edited)
Now I'm guessing I can just switch off VPN then amend country back to UK in order to get UK content displayed?
Got codes within 15mins last night and have just applied them to my old Spotify account. It does say you won't be able to redeem any more vouchers each time so I put the 12m one in first just to be safe, but both were added. Hopefully this will be be available in September NEXT YEAR when I need to renew.
Used Nord and Revolut virtual card on the Amazon.in site.
So how many Indian languages are there? While India has 22 separate official languages , it is home to a total of 121 languages and 270 mother tongues.
Do you buy gift cards on Amazon India for the steaming services cheers (edited)
I think I’ve followed each of the steps as stated and having added the codes I could see the next payt date 18 months, however having followed the guidance and set up my country as UK and amended payment method to Paypal my next payment date is now 21/09/204.
£18 for 9 months Spotify Premium is still a good deal but wonder if I’ve missed a step and messed up the 18mnths?
When I try and buy the voucher I’m getting asked for an Indian mobile number.
Does anyone have a work around ?
use just the part after the dash
they won't contact or do anything with it, it would only be used in case of physical delivery of goods
Apple TV+ is £11 for whole year. FYI
IND INR 178 - Spotify INR 119 monthly cost
UK over 21 from June £11.44 - £9.99 Spotify monthly cost
Due to Indian central bank regulations, Most online retailers are changing digital purchases to Indian registered cards and UPI. I used to pay for YouTube premium with my Starling card in India in INR but once the card expired, it did not allow me to add a non-Indian registered card.
How does this compare, as this would be a third the price I'm currently paying
My Spotify app is showing 18 months and works fine.
Also side note, i had the deliver tomorrow thing on amazon and it was delivered to my junk email around 1 hour after buying. I found a fake indian address / phone number for delivery details. (edited)
