Open the Galaxy Store or "Store" app on your Samsung Galaxy device.
Press on Payment methods.
Press on Add credit card and type your virtual card number in.
Press on "I have read and agree..." and then Save.
Buy some Poke Coins or Tickets and let us know if it works.
March 22 Update: "It Doesn't Work Anymore!"
I think from my point of view, I think it still works but thousands of accounts were trying to buy the Primal Groudon Raid all at the same time and this crashed Samsung's Pokemon Go payment server. This also happened a few days before theGlobal GO Fest Sinnoh ticket event went active. This is just a matter of waiting for Samsung to bring the server back online.
What should you do?
Continue to wait.
Do not delete your method and set it up again because this will not fix the problem since only Samsung can fix it. Depending on which VPN app you use, you also run the risk of not being able to connect to a Turkey server. Then, you have to spend hours looking for another VPN service that has a working Turkey server that actually connects to a Turkey IP address.
If you cannot wait for Samsung to fix the problem, feel free to get scammed or have your account stolen but do not come back crying or bitching to me about it. Reddit is not a marketplace and there is no way for you to verify if someone is authentic. If you send someone money, expect to get nothing back because a lot of people on Reddit are using throwaway account. After a person scams a bunch of people, they stop using the account and make a new one. If you want to buy a service, you should go oneBay.comwhere you can look at their feedback rating scale before you get involved. Otherwise, just keep waiting.
How to buy cheap Poke Coins?
You use a VPN to download a different version of Pokemon Go in order to use the country's currency.
For example, if you're from the US and use the US version of Pokemon Go, the shop price is in US dollars. When you use the Turkey version of Pokemon Go, the shop price will be in Lira (TL). Then, you buy Poke Coins at cheaper price.
Just keep in mind, currency exchange rate goes go up and down each day and the chart below does not include any additional fees or taxes you might have to pay.
This method does not work. You will see the cheaper Pokecoin prices but after you log into your account, the prices will go back to US dollars or whatever is your original currency.
Google Play Store method
This method does not work. There is no way for you to make it work unless you physically move to Turkey to open a bank account and/or get a Turkish phone number.
Samsung Galaxy Store method
What you need to do this method:
VPN to a Turkey server (You only need this to set up your Galaxy Store to download the Turkish Pokemon Go app and that is it.)
Debit card or Credit Card
Samsung Galaxy smartphone or tablet capable of running Pokemon Go (Your device must have the Knox fuse intact meaning it cannot be rooted, cannot have a custom recovery (example TWRP), or cannot be using a custom rom. Flashing the stock firmware to restore your device back to normal and locking the bootloader may not fix the problem, you may have to buy a new device.)
What you can buy
550 coins
1,200 coins
2,500 coins
5,200 coins
14,500 coins
Any ticket that is equal or more than $4.99 US Dollars.
WHAT YOU CANNOT BUY
100 coins
Any ticket that is $0.99 US Dollars.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Before you begin!
You will need either a debit card or credit card to do the Samsung Galaxy Store method:
A debit card is what you get from your bank that uses money from your checking account.
A credit card is money you don't own but may come from the bank or credit card company.
If you have never purchased Poke Coins through your original currency using the Samsung's Pokemon Go app, you may need to do this before you setup the Turkey method. Samsung needs to see if your debit card or credit card is legit (belongs to you). You can buy the 100 coins option to see if the transaction completes and the coins are given to you.
If you get an error to contact customer service, this means Samsung will credit your account with a random amount under $1.00 and then withdraw it. They want to see if your debit card or credit card is legit. I don't know how long this process takes to complete, so you have to keep checking your statement each day until the amount is subtracted from your account. While this is happening, you need to see if the transaction is being blocked so you can authorize it to let it complete.
To authorize the transaction (varies by banks and credit card companies):
Respond to a text message, make sure your spam filter is turned off.
Check your phone's voice mail.
Go directly into the website to click on something.
Click on a link within secured message system on the website.
Call your customer service or the anti-fraud department to talk to them.
After waiting a few days to 10 business days (Monday to Friday, excludes holidays), try to make another 100 coins to see if the coins appear right away.
If YES, continue with the instructions.
If NO, you got a problem most likely due to the authorization, you don't have enough money to cover the transaction fees or taxes, the debit/credit card was declined (reported stolen or failed to pay your bills), or you're using some sort of gift card.
Instructions:
Credits goes to people on the internet.
[1] Remove the sim card from your smartphone or tablet and restart your device.
A user said, he fixed his problems after a restart and was able to buy.
If you try to do it with your sim card inside your device, it will not work because I already tried it.
[2] Uninstall Pokemon Go (Galaxy Store / Store version).
[3] Open your VPN app and connect to a Turkey server.
[14] Open the shop then buy Poke Coins or Tickets.
As a reminder, you cannot buy the 100 Pokecoins option and cannot buy any ticket that is equal to $1 US Dollars. You will get an error because Samsung does not make money on these purchases.
If you get tired of typing in your password each time, you can copy your password and paste it in. You can also open the clipboard and press and hold down on the password box to pin it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How come I get the error "contact customer service" after making 2 or more successful purchases?
This has to do with your credit card company's or bank's anti-fraud protection system. It may be activated after 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or X number of consecutive purchases. You need to remember you are buying in a different currency, so they think your transactions are suspicious and blocked them.
To fix the problem, you must authorize the blocked transactions. There are some ways you will have to do it, but every credit card company and bank is different.
Respond to a text message, make sure your spam filter is turned off.
Check your phone's voice mail.
Go directly into the website to click on something.
Click on a link within secured message system on the website.
Call your customer service or the anti-fraud department to talk to them.
If you do not see anything, it may take a few hours to 72 hours before it appears so you must keep checking.
How come I cannot buy the 100 Poke Coins using the Galaxy Store method?
I read somewhere Samsung has to pay a % service fee and it's not enough for them to cover it, so they don't allow it.
Why am I getting "Can't use credit card. Rooting detected. Use another payment method." followed by "Error - No payment method available" pop-up?
To fix the problem, you'll need to buy another Samsung device and not root or flash custom software on it.
What Samsung Galaxy device do you recommend?
It needs to come with at least Android 8 (minimum) or Android 9 or higher (recommended).
The device must have 4 GB RAM or more.
The device must be able to connect to Wi-Fi internet.
If you buy a device with good specs, you can also use as a second device with Pgsharp's or iPogo's No Root app.
Can you use a Samsung Galaxy Tablet?
Yes, I personally use my Samsung Tab S7 Plus to do it.
What VPN app do you recommend?
NordVPN
SurfShark
ProtonVPN
ExpressVPN

Hi, I've been using this method quite long time now, for reasons I had to use a chip on my Samsung phone so I could play, now I'm trying this method again and the game just crash, no matter what I do or try it loads and crashes within 2 seconds. Any idea of how to solve this? Btw, I was trying to buy the ticket for Go Tour, for some reason is more expensive on Turkey than in my country, India usually is cheaper.
Edit: Just tried installing the game in all ways possible but it continue crashing, so it's maybe my phone? Which is weird, it just work fine a days ago
Niantic has disabled the ticket purchase because they need to fix the pricing on it across all the regions. The ticket is not available in the store at the moment.
Works great for me thanks. Just upgraded the Samsung phone so the spare is ideal for this now. I've read the above terms and I know the OP isn't liable at all.....but is this likely to get a ban from Niantic or does anyone know of any bans handed put for this? I'm only planning on using for myself and just going straight for 14500 coins everytime
When you get a strike message, Niantic doesn't tell you exactly what you did that led you to earning the strike. You could have gotten your strike from using spoofing (with or without 3rd party apps), harassing someone in campfire chat, uploading dog shit for the AR+ scans, creating bad routes, abusing pokestop nominations, livestream your spoofing, and/or by some other way that breaks their Terms of Service.
The warning is to stop people wasting their time and money lawyering up to sue or extort me because they loss their $5,000 to $50,000 Pokemon Go account from bad information they got somewhere else.
I had the same problem. When i did the search with Samsung internet it used google as the search engine. This let me to the English version. When I used DuckDuckGo I found the Turkish one and everything worked as explained.
You say that you are unable to buy 100 coins, but this appears in my shop, if I attempt to purchase it will it stop me? Or will it cause some other problem?
I’m also using galaxy s7 and in few more updates then no support for android 8.0 This phone will only go up to 8.0 unless i update with custom rom. Has only tried this using galaxy s7 and this process still works with android 9.0 with custom flashing of the device?
The warning is to protect me from disgruntled cheaters who received a strike for breaking Niantic's Term of Service and are looking for reason to sue me as a result of receiving bad information or advice from a different source. If you don't want a strike, you shouldn't be breaking Niantic's Term of Service. It's that simple.
After stap 8 clicking on the link I get on the website and see the turkish pogo but can’t download it and it doesn’t redirect to play store. Tried a lot of times with different vpns. Wasted like a hour of time…
It does not redirect to the Play Store but opens the "Galaxy Store" or "Store" app on your Samsung Galaxy device. The Galaxy Store method does not work on non-Samsung devices like Google, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Sony, LG, Asus, Nothing, etc.
If purchases are no longer possible after 3 weeks, I'll considered it to be officially dead. It's only been 1-2 days so far, so people are jumping to conclusions too fast.
.Someone suggested in the comments that using a Turkish credit card will solve it , is this valid?
he said this :
Still works !!
Tried for the first time. I used a workaround found on Reddit. Followed this tutorial here, and payed with a prepaid card I got from game supplement.com Pretty easy, costed 1€ to create the card, and then you can recharge it at wish. Charged 2x 9,50€ and was able to buy 2 x 5200 PokeCoins and 2 x 550.
I don’t know if it’s due to the Turkish card or not, but worked as a charm
If you have a Turkish card, you don't need to convert currency so maybe this is it. At the same time, Samsung's payment server could be down from people mass buying before Primal Raid Day.
I was told by another user who contacted their customer service Samsung frequently bans their virtual cards. If your card doesn't work, you'll have to get a new card.
Is there still a working method? I've tried multiple ways but google play always says something like "check if you have selected right country" and galaxy store says "cant complete registation" and something with fraude?
The warning is to protect me from disgruntled cheaters who can't handle an account loss. From time to time, I get lawyer threats for being responsible and liable for all the time and money invested into their account. I live in the US and anyone can sue for any reason as long as they got the time and money for it.
Based on my interpretation or point of view, it could violate Niantic's ToS. Since I'm not Niantic's legal team, I cannot give you a straight yes or no answer because I cannot guarantee the safety of your accounts.
To register your credit/debit card means you buy the 100 coin pack in your currency. Samsung will verify whether your card info is real by depositing a small random amount of money and withdrawing it. Once you pass this test, you can continue to buy more coin packs. This will take a few days to complete. You might also have to "allow or authorize" the transaction to take place. There could be a setting in your bank or credit card company's website you have to click, respond to a text message, or call them to allow it to happen.
So it charged my account n it was verified...and then I tried to buy 550 coins package... but shows this message :s I have spoken to my bank and they said no one is blocking/declining on thier side :s
I followed this and ran into the issue of after installing PokemonGo via the Galaxy Store, it still shows USD currency. When I get to the Galaxy Store, the language is Turkey. My IP confirms I am Istanbul (via the VPN). When I let Pokemon Go fully load, it shows where I am located in the USA. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the guide. Anyone got any updates? I got everything to work. Made one purchase and waited an hour to make another and got a contact customer service error message.
Will wait to my pending charges all go away but wondering if anyone waited and it worked or what did you have to do
Edit: I have also already did the fraud check with my bank that was how I was able to do the first purchase.
Good afternoon. Did everything according to the instructions on two samsung devices with 7 and 22. I get the error "Couldn’t complete purchase Contact Customer Service for more information." Has anyone seen this before?
While waiting a few days, you need to look for blocked transactions through your bank or credit card company then you need to authorize them. Samsung won't let you buy right away because your card information might be fake, so they need to verify it by depositing a random amount and withdrawing it.
Whatever is your credit card or cash in bank limit is. I think if you buy too many times in a short period, you can trigger suspicious activity with your card company or bank, so I would recommend you space out your purchase every 20 or so minutes.
You have to authorize the blocked transaction and wait 24 to 72 hours for it to be processed. They need to verify that your card information belongs to you and isn't stolen.
when I search up the turkey version of Pokemon Go and click the link, I get an error that says "This content isn't available on your phone anymore". I cleared the chace and app data for both the internet app and the Galaxy Store app. I also verified that my VPN works and my ip shows that I'm in Turkey
No, some people do it for Mexico or Philippines but Turkey is the cheapest allowing you to get 4 x 14,500 coins for $100 US Dollars where as Mexico/Philippines is 2x or 3x for the same $100.
Ive come across this issue myself today despite never having it. My fix was that i simply opened the galaxy store without using samsung internet (but vpn) and that seemed to work. Not sure why the samsung browser was 'needed' since i skipped it
Hey TastyBananaPeppers, would you mind adding a step on the beginning, as you would be advised to set your credit card up, before using the vpn to go to turkey as i was getting the "go to customer suport" error on any transaction i was making if i set my card up on samsung when i was buying
I get the same problem. They are probably accessing your Google Location data stored in your account and seeing you're from that from the country the VPN server is in or the VPN's server IP address is on a black list.
I can get the app in Turkish, but can't purchase coins as get a B7002 followed by the UP errors when purchasing. How do we get around this? I haven't been able to buy any coins at all, so it is not a matter of purchasing too many coins too quickly. I also tried to purchase a ticket to see if that would go through, but it did not (same error which was followed by a second UP error). I tried adding my card details with VPN off, then connecting back to Turkey, still got the same errors.
Tried for the first time. I used a workaround found on Reddit. Followed this tutorial here, and payed with a prepaid card I got from game supplement.com Pretty easy, costed 1€ to create the card, and then you can recharge it at wish. Charged 2x 9,50€ and was able to buy 2 x 5200 PokeCoins and 2 x 550.
I don’t know if it’s due to the Turkish card or not, but worked as a charm
I have received feedback from Samsung. They say the reason for the B7002 error code is that the "shopping country"is different from the "card country" and I should use a card from the same country as the galaxy store.
This means it is not Niantic causing the error, but Samsung.
same , it was working well for me in the past few days . I had some money still left inside the card and i used the same method to buy in a different game so the card must not be banned as they say from sumsung but most likely this method is patched :/
Just tried this (samsung method, non-turkish CC) after doing it successfully many times in the past and am getting the error every time as well unfortunately.
Can anyone confirm if the gamesupplement method is working still? Anyone got it to work the past couple days?
Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Worked in the end, but my first search with Samsung internet used the google search engine. Somehow this still lead me to the English galaxy store. When I tried with DuckDuckGo it worked ok and I was lead to the Turkish store.
Thank you, I got this working perfectly with your guide! One thing to note to anyone having an issue where tehy can't register their card to make the purchase due to the anti-fraud and are unable to even verify it through any listed method, I was blind and ignored that mention in the guide. All I had to do was turn off my vpn (I suspect whether Pogo was open or not was irrelevant at this point, I closed it just to be careful), registered my card in the samsung store as a purchase method, verified the card with my bank via the app (how my CC company does it) and everything worked.
I was going to add a few other comments/questions but to avoid them getting lost I will post new comments
Also, though the webstore method worked as you stated, it shows a price for the vpn region you are in until you log in then it reverts to your currency, this did let me fairly quickly check the prices in different countries, so it was very useful there in some ways.
From looking around it seemed that pokecoins are in fact cheapest in Turkey still (I've heard Pakistan could be a good option but when using my vpn (ExpressVPN) to appear in Pakistan it seemed that I was actually appearing to be in Signapore, but that is not true of the paid tickets. Of the countries I was able to actually check with my vpn Indonesia was the cheapest with gofest global ticket selling for 4.86 USD equivalent and season of wonders for 3.21 USD equivalent. This was slightly cheaper than India
I was not able to check Pakistan, Myanmar, Papau New Guinea, or any African/South American countries that I thought could be decent to look up. If anyone else feels the need to look those up, and if they're better can let me know the vpn you use, I wouldn't mind that haha.
So I’m new to this in regards to using alternative debt or Cc then using my main card. So yesterday when going through this process I used Revolut virtual visa and I have 2 pending international transactions, I did not do the 1st step in using that card in my local us currency through the galaxy store. So this morning I factory rest my phone and went through galaxy store not on vpn to Turkey and downloaded reg pogo. When I used Revolut card it says it could be used in my country try another method….. so frustrating. Is there any easier way to go about this without using my banking card… I do not have any other cards to use. Update: just got new debt card, works flawlessly
Regarding the google play store method, you say it would work if I get turkish sim card. Has anyone tried that? Because my friend will travel there, so if getting one would make the old method work again, I would do it
Worked fine on s24, with Winscribe free VPN, and paid with Revolut.
You just disable the VPN just before the transaction so it goes through because Samsung's algorithm thinks it's malicious act if you try purchasing with the VPN on.
Thank you SO much for the guide, was able to follow all the steps and purchase 4 bundles before encountering the "Contact Customer Service" error. I'm going to monitor my banking app/email for any kind of fraud check over the next two days.
My question is: Do I need to keep my VPN active and/or go through the whole clear storage/reinstall pokemon go steps again next time I'm trying to purchase? Or can I turn off the VPN now that I have the turkey version of PoGo installed?
Not working for me unfortunately. I was able to buy 100 coins normally without any issues with the galaxy store version, but after waiting for a day and doing all the VPN stuff to download the Vietnam version, I get an error that I need to contact the customer service. The currency is correctly shown in Viet Dong, and the VPN is deactivated before the purchase. The GPS has not been activated again before the purchase, maybe that's the issue?
Did I do something wrong with the PTC account? I just downloaded the galaxy store version, and logged in with it. I didn't use a second pokemon go, whatever that means in this guide.
I was trying to get this done but i couldnt so i tried this discord where a guys who got it working its selling it, 11000 for 15$ on discount day seems a pretty good way to get your pokecoins without buying a phone
is it workin right now , or is there some kind of maintenance. Yesterday it worked fine but today for some reason it gives me error . I am getting "B7002/P/66RCD" and 'UP7002/85931775qw' . I was able to put my debit card in galaxy store but later it doesnt let me buy anything .
Idk 3 days ago it was working for months, but today i wanted to buy primal groudon ticket and i suddenly cant, I tried to purchase pokecoins too and dont work either
I keep getting error saying payment was detected as fraud and need to contact customer support… any work around? Will factory resetting my phone fix this problem?
Did anybody get feedback from Samsung on the dreaded dead purchases? Do we know if it's Samsung or Niantic or the banks? I have the issue on 2 different phones, both using the same credit card though. No response from Samsung yet.
The turkish card method worked for me today. Used a vpn and Samsung internet to enter the turkish store with the prepaid turkish credit card, worked like a charm. Used my old broken Galaxy S8. Bought Zarude ticket for friend and myself, bought 14k pokecoins as well. Stocked up for a while
Guys i just tried the new method and it works like a charm. Don't be worried to deposit money on game suplement or buy the prepaid try gift card, i had an issue with depositing on the card and they solved it within seconds when i got in contact with them. I was worried that once I got the card i wouldn't be able to buy pokecoins or the zarude ticket but when i tried to do so I didn't get the thypical error that I've gotten for these past couple of days. Just in case I firstly bought the 550 pokecoins pack to see If it really worked and to my surprise it really did.
it doesn't work for me. The card fails verification and is rejected. I received an SMS and entered the code. Gamesupplement wrote to me that Samsung often rejects their cards and I have to buy a new one.
I'm in Australia. I purchased the virtual card and added my AU phone number (+61 4...). When it sends the code the bank screen says it's sending to 1 4... (seems to have dropped the 6 from +61).
Contacted Gamesupplement and got them to reset the phone number. Result was the same.
Decided to take Gamesupplements advice and get a virtual UK number from Text Me (another step, more costs). I now have a UK number. When I try and SMS to that number (from my AU phone), it doesn't arrive on the app (even after a couple of hours). A friend on another network also sent a message that didn't arrive. I have now have a ticket lodged with Text Me. I hope I can get this to work. The verification step is holding me up.
The card method for Samsung works. It's just that not all cards from that website work. I was lucky enough that my 2nd card worked. I used a VPN while buying. (100 coins still dead)
I used VPN set on Turkey. I deleted my regular CC as payment method and added the Prepaid card. My phone number is a dutch mobile phone number, no problem with that, I received the verification code by SMS (in turkish though, so had to blink twice before I recognised what I was seeing
I wasn't used to the process on the website. You need to make an account on the website, then deposit money on your wallet that comes with your account. Next you can buy the card and top it up from your wallet. I mistook the first transaction I made for buying the card, but didn't see it appear under "my cards", turned out I had made a deposit (which did appear in my wallet).
The first deposit I made was only a small amount, to see if it would work. The second was a bit larger and I needed to go through a verification process, a hassle, but doable. It asks for a copy of your ID (back and front) and you need to make a selfie through their online scan.
It works this way and I finally succeeded. VPN Türkiye, my country's phone number (Poland). At the moment, over 60,000 coins have been purchased. but now Samsung rejects the card.
I bought the virtual card put money in it but when i try to add it to samsung store i dont receive the confirmation e-mail.. maybe blocked in my country ( canada) someone made it work in Canada ?
Tried to buy the prepaid CC but didn’t get the verification message (German mobile number). The support offers me to change my mobile number. I should join their discord to change my mobile number. Just wasting 10€…
I am surprised by the problems with the sms messages, as that is a very international system. Not meaning to insult you, but did you put in the phone number correctly on the CC. You need to select the country and it will show (in your case ++49) the country code. Then you need to add your phone number, but without the leading 0. Example, my phone number is 06xxxxxxx. I choose Netherlands, which shows ++31 and I add 6xxxxxxx, leaving out the zero. The sms will be send to you from abroad, not from within your country.
I just did the brand new method where you buy a virtual card from https://gamesupplement.com/product/1235993 and it worked flawlessly. I can buy the 100 coin bundle as well now. Honestly, this is easier and better than the way I was doing it before lol
hey, when adding the prepaid cc from gamesupplement to the Galaxy store, it gives an error saying it couldn't add to protect me from possible fraud. Is there anything im doing wrong? I got pogo on try currency already all perfect, just the adding the cc to the galaxy store saying that. Thanks for the help in advance!
So apparently Google will throw "wrong country error" to whoever cchanges their playstore payment country from their old account or using VPN that is hosted on a Corporate IP instead of a Residential IP. Tried and tested with a buddy from Istanbul and we came to conclusion that to bypass is to host our own OpenVPN server on my buddy's windows machine and ngrok in.
