Cant play Spotify music on my phone when Im in Taiwan

[nov288]

I registered my spotify when I was in the UK about three years ago. I recently came back in Taiwan and after 14 days, my spotify was showing '' you can only use spotify abroad for 14 days''. After I changed the region to Taiwan, it's not playing on my iphone anymore. I can still play it on my laptop but I would like to listen to musics on my phone as well. Is there any way that I can have it work on my phone without getting premium? Thanks.

Unfortunately, you can only use Spotify abroad for 14 days without Premium.  I'm not sure if Taiwan has any sort of internet restrictions, but if they do Spotify might be restricted.  Did you move to Taiwan full time? If so I would contact their customer service and explain your problem to them, as this change might have bugged out your application.

People of 2017, I found a possible solution to play free spotify music on your Iphone.

The problem is that spotify free is only available for 14 days in Taiwan (as for any country when traveling).
But then in Taiwan there is one more restriction, even if you are a resident (in other word also have Taiwan as country of origin in your spotify setting) you will not be able to play free music.

These are the steps to undertake:

1. Spotify settings: something else than Taiwan. Can be USA for example.

2. Download an application that makes you connect to a VPN (ArkVPN for example works fine for me)

3. Connect every 14 days to the vpn connection in America.

4. Enjoy good music
