tomav84 Posted August 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2018 Anyone have a BEIN Sport (or similar) subscription? Have been trying to subscribe to various asian versions of BEIN through VPN with no joy (i think they block international credit cards). The Thai offering has an alternative method of payment (True Money?) but again appears to be for Thai residents. Anyone had any luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted August 2, 2018 Administrator Share Posted August 2, 2018 How would a content provider know what credit card you used? It's more likely that the content provider blocks known VPN addresses. Try some different VPNs. And try paying for your VPNs if you are using free ones. The money pays for more resources for ways to achieve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried different exit points? i'm unsure if it's the VPN to be honest - as we can get to the payment screen, go all through card validations, then all our transactions get declined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted August 2, 2018 Administrator Share Posted August 2, 2018 Sorry, Id misunderstood. With you now. Get a prepaid card for one of the countries they offer service to. It may be as simple as a currency check, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Did the pre-paid card work? If not try Revolut. It's what I use to buy games from different regions on the MS store and works like a charm in conjunction with a VPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very cheap. Be very careful though mate there are a lot of scam artists out there where it works for a couple weeks and then stops then they disappear. If that happens PM me as the guy i use is they are really good in terms of getting it fixed straight away when service goes down and they have never disappeared after 3 years. Iptv is brilliant if more people switched to it sky wouldnt be ripping so many people off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's these services that inevitably drive prices up with people effectively stealing the content. Plus, SKY isn't a ripoff if you know how to play the game with them.

The movie channels are the same movies updated and its only benfit that i kind of miss is recording but with catchup you don't really need this anymore. It's expensive considering I pay £90 for the year and get all channels and all the foreign channels as well as plenty of additional content That's two months of sky tv you would get so even if you play them you will nowhere near pay more. Sky also love to up their prices regularly. Thanks but no thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
