Creating A Spotify Account In Brunei: A Guide

Spotify is now available in Brunei, but previously, users in the country had to resort to using a VPN to access the service. To create a Spotify account in Brunei, you can sign up for a Brunei account on spotify.com, connect with a VPN to the US, and change your country or region to the USA in your profile settings. Alternatively, you can use a VPN to connect to a server in another country, such as Malaysia or Singapore, where Spotify is available, and sign up for an account in that country. It is worth noting that Spotify offers various Premium plans with additional features such as ad-free listening, offline listening, and the ability to play songs in any order.

Signing up for a Brunei account

To create a Spotify account in Brunei, you must first sign up for a Brunei account on Spotify's website, spotify.com.

To do this, open your web browser and navigate to spotify.com. Once the website has loaded, you will need to click the 'Sign Up' button, typically found in the top-right corner of the homepage. This will direct you to a new page where you can enter your personal details, such as your name, email address, and password. It is important to note that you should provide a valid email address as you will need to verify your account.

After filling in the required information, review the details to ensure they are correct, then click the 'Sign Up' button again. You may be asked to confirm your email address by clicking a link sent to your inbox. Follow the instructions, and you will have successfully created a Spotify Brunei account.

You can now sign in to your new account and start enjoying Spotify's music streaming services. Spotify offers a variety of plans, including Premium Individual, Premium Duo, Premium Family, and Premium Student, each with its own benefits and pricing.

It is worth noting that in the past, users in Brunei had to resort to using a VPN to access Spotify, but this is no longer necessary as Spotify is now officially available in Brunei Darussalam.

Using a VPN

Next, you'll need to connect to a VPN. There are many VPNs to choose from, but one source recommends TunnelBear, which works with Spotify. Once connected to your VPN, change your Spotify profile's country or region to the USA. Wait for 4-24 hours for the changes to take effect.

Now, log in to Spotify and enter the code and a US postal code, such as 99501. Make sure to use a valid US address, or Spotify won't accept the code.

It's worth noting that Spotify can detect some VPNs, so this method may not work for everyone.

Changing your country/region

Spotify is now available in Brunei, but if you want to create a Spotify account in a different country/region, you can follow these steps:

• Sign up for a VPN service: Choose a VPN provider that offers servers in your desired country/region, such as NordVPN or TunnelBear.
• Connect to a VPN server: Open the VPN app and connect to a server located in the country/region you want your Spotify account to be associated with. For example, if you want a US Spotify account, connect to a US server.
• Sign up for a new Spotify account: Go to spotify.com and create a new account. Provide a valid email address and choose a password.
• Change your country/region settings: Go to your Spotify profile settings and edit your country or region to match the one you selected in your VPN.
• Wait for the changes to take effect: It may take a few hours for Spotify to update your account information and apply the new country/region settings.
• Disconnect from the VPN: Once the changes have taken effect, you can disconnect from the VPN. You should now be able to access Spotify with your new account in the selected country/region.

It's important to note that using a VPN to change your country/region may violate Spotify's Terms of Service, and they may detect and block VPN usage. Additionally, creating an account in a different country/region may impact the content and pricing plans available to you. Always review Spotify's Terms of Service and ensure you comply with their policies.

Redeeming gift cards

To create a Spotify account in Brunei, you must first sign up for a Brunei account on Spotify.com. Once you have signed in to your new account, you will need to connect to a VPN such as TunnelBear and set your country or region to the USA. After waiting for 4-24 hours for the changes to take effect, you can then redeem your gift card.

To redeem a Spotify gift card, you must first log in to Spotify.com/redeem. You will then be prompted to enter the gift card code and a postal code. It is important to note that you must use a valid address, otherwise, the code will not be accepted.

Spotify gift cards can be purchased from Rapidbump, with prices ranging from USD 10 to USD 60. Alternatively, you can purchase a Spotify Premium subscription directly from Spotify, with prices varying depending on the plan chosen. The Individual plan costs $6.99 per month, the Duo plan costs $8.99 per month, the Family plan costs $10.99 per month, and the Student plan costs $3.49 per month.

It is worth noting that Spotify offers a free one-month trial for new users, after which you can choose to cancel or continue with the subscription.

Choosing a premium plan

Spotify is now available in Brunei, and there are several Premium plans to choose from.

Individual Plan

The Individual Premium plan is $6.99 per month and includes ad-free music listening, offline downloads, the ability to play songs in any order, listening with friends in real-time, and the ability to organise your listening queue. You can try this plan for free for one month, after which you can cancel anytime.

Student Plan

The Student Plan is available for eligible students enrolled at an accredited college or university and offers a discount on the Individual Plan. It costs $3.49 per month and includes all the features of the Individual Plan. Like the Individual Plan, you can try the Student Plan for free for one month, and you can cancel anytime.

Duo Plan

The Duo Plan is for couples who reside at the same address. It is cheaper than two full-price Individual Plans and costs $8.99 per month. Each member has their own separate Premium account, and all saved music and playlists are their own. The Duo Plan includes all the features of the Individual Plan.

Family Plan

The Family Plan is for up to six family members who live together and is cheaper than six individual Premium accounts. It costs $10.99 per month and includes all the features of the Individual Plan. Each family member has their own separate Premium account, and all saved music and playlists are their own.

Other Options

There are other ways to get Spotify Premium in Brunei, such as purchasing a Malaysian SIM card and creating a Malaysian Spotify account, or buying codes or lifetime subscriptions from third-party sellers on Instagram or eBay. However, it is important to note that these methods may not be official or sanctioned by Spotify, and there may be risks involved.
