    You can get Premium cheaper through other countries. It’s super simple. I only pay about 1€ / month and that feels about right to me unlike the 15€ or something I’d have to pay otherwise.

        It’s definitely a TOS violation (as is using any kind of VPN to access their content apparently) but I never heard of anyone having trouble with it. Either way, I moved off of other Google services completely, so it would not be a huge loss for me at least.

          That’s not a bad idea. I could consider making an extra Google account just for that so that way if for some reason it went screwy it doesn’t affect being able to log into other services.

          Man, I hate Google.

        I’ve been doing it for four years and never had a problem with it. There are so many people from India that live and travel in my country so how would they know that I’m not one of them?

        Argentina or (in my case) Turkey seem to be popular options. You only need to use a VPN when setting up the first payment. Your credit card can be from your home country, no checks at all. After that it’ll just work and you won’t need a VPN anymore.

      Which country did you go through? I assume you purchase on a VPN and then after it applies normally?

        Yep! I left another reply with more details. I’m using Turkey and it’s super easy to set up.
