I have been looking for a while to sign up to YT Premium but recently noticed alot of people saying it's become alot more difficult due to them cracking down in certain countries and payment issues.
I have just managed to get a family plan through Ukraine for 149 UAH, which I believe is roughly £3.10. You could just sign up for a single one too (skipping point 1&2 below) but I didn't catch the price
Here is what I did:
1. Made 5 different Gmail accounts 2. Added them all to a Google family plan and accepted the invite on each email address (this took a while but it worked so hey ho) 3. Download 'Urban VPN' (has a free option) and change to Ukraine. 4. On the first Gmail you sent the invites out with, log in to YouTube and sign up for premium family. It will ask you for a card to use - I added a Revolut Virtual card and on billing address it asked me for a Ukraine postcode. I put in '02000' and it worked.
I would like to point out that I am not an expert with this sort of stuff, I maybe could have done other things or not done as many things but point being is the above is what I did and it has worked so I'm currently chuffed with myself and hoping it may help someone else.
Cheers!","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52302243","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Willy_Wonka"},"datePublished":"2024-03-01T00:22:08.000Z","text":"If you don't mind is that £3.10 a month or total?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52304767","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gollywood"},"datePublished":"2024-03-01T13:04:50.000Z","text":"I'm on the Ukrainian plan but its messed up my Google Play and I can't use certains apps like banking ones etc

critical point when your doing a family Sub is to make sure the Google Family group is all setup in advance of subscribing (as you did).
If using a Revolut card it's worth making sure that you use Mastercard as well as there are now extra region checks for some countries if using a virtual VISA."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52308442","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"kain_white"},"datePublished":"2024-03-02T01:36:42.000Z","text":"Is this still active got to love you tube over any other music etc services and plus you can share with other family members it's amazing since I tried it free for a month I really Wana stick to YouTube premium as it got the best recommendation and the biggest content available I should of tried this before then paying for dezzer etc YouTube music is amazing not only you can listen to music its got videos lyrics and one button mix aka radio mix so it keeps playing similar tracks got to love this"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52403570","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jaguark"},"datePublished":"2024-03-17T14:15:02.000Z","text":" Did you do it via your mobile phone or pc/laptop?

I wonder if the price floor in each country is set by secret music industry cartel rules.
Anyway, this is the type of family planning they didn't teach you about at school."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52490213","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lobo8990"},"datePublished":"2024-03-30T20:32:33.000Z","text":"Little update:
Payment was taken today for £3.05 for my family plan so I guess it's worked. I was only worried as first month was a trial so wondered if it would all go Pete Tong when first paying month came.
