📖 Overview

Apple TV+ standalone is $12.99/month (or $99.99/year) since Aug 2025, including 4K HDR and Family Sharing for up to 6, separate from Apple One. This tutorial walks through changing the Apple ID region to US and paying with an MPChat Asia Elite Card (VISA).

🔑 Prerequisites

A successful subscription hinges on three elements staying aligned: a compliant service account, a stable US IP, and a funded MPCard.

  1. MPChat account ready

    1. Install the official MPChat app, complete identity verification, and activate the wallet

    2. Issue an Asia Elite Card (VISA); record the 16-digit card number, expiry and CVC

  2. Network setup

    1. Use a stable US residential IP; avoid public Wi-Fi, datacenter, or shared proxy IPs

    2. Keep IP region consistent with the card and billing address to pass risk checks

  3. Funding ready

    1. Apple TV+ costs around $12.99/month; stock ~$18 in USDT to cover the $1 pre-auth and FX

    2. Keep card balance ≥ $15 so the first charge is not blocked

Phase 1 - Prepare the MPCard

  1. Top up USDT

    Path: MPChat App → Wallet → Deposit- Copy your dedicated USDT deposit address- Send USDT from an external wallet or exchange- Wait for network confirmation (usually 5-15 minutes)

Phase 3 - Payment Details (critical step)

  1. Payment method: choose Credit Card, then click Add Payment Method

  2. Card fields (from MPChat App → MPCard → Card details):

    Card Number: 16-digit number- Expiry Date: MM/YY- CVC Code: 3-digit security code- Name on Card: Pinyin name recommended
  3. Billing address: use a reputable US address generator; ensure the ZIP is valid:

    Street: 1234 Maple Street- City: San Francisco- State: CA- ZIP Code: 94102- Country: United States

Verification & activation

  1. Apple TV+ authorizes a $1 charge as verification (usually refunded immediately)

  2. After payment succeeds the subscription goes Active right away

  3. Sign in, test core features, and confirm the renewal cycle on the Billing page

⚠️ Notes & Troubleshooting

Service-specific notes

  • New subscribers get a 7-day free trial; cancel ≥ 24 h before renewal to avoid the charge

  • Switching Apple ID region clears the App Store balance; consider using a secondary Apple ID instead of your main account

  • If you already subscribe to Apple One, you do NOT need a standalone TV+ — this tutorial is for TV+-only users
