[Country][Subscription] Add Premium Family for South Africa

Welcome to South Africa, Spotify 🙂 

 

Your amazing family plan, would be a great + welcome addition here. Being able to easily, and cheaply, sign up my family under 1 account would make billing a breeze.

 

And shame, my technologically challenged mom and dad (who type in 'google', into their Chrome URL bar so they can search for google, and then google something) wouldn't know where to start in setting up billing and all that... Being able to manage this for them via my account, would be amazing.

 

Thanks kindly - for your attention to the above, and for coming to SA.

Hey,

Thanks for coming to the Idea Exchange!
Listening together as a family is about to get even better - Spotify Premium Family is now available in South Africa.

Getting started is easy - just visit spotify.com/family, follow the steps to create your Premium Family account, and invite family members you live with.

I don't think Spotify reads these forums, let alone respond. Since my comment in March 2018, there has been no feedback from Spotify. The family option is available overseas and I see no reason why it would not be possible in South Africa. This will deter some people moving from Google Music / Apple Music to Spotify.

Hi

These posts have been aknowledged by them. The more people voice their approval for the idea, the more they are forced to look at it. Spread the word, and hopefully there will be an offering soon.

Common SPOTIFY activate family plans in South Africa. Here are plenty of people eager to move over to Spotify if they had a Family plan!!!

Please make it happen.

Family plan and student plan would be great. Would definitely boost your customer base as it would put you in competition with Apple Music in SA seen as they offer student plans and family plans thus reaching different and consequently more segments of the market which is why Apple Music is a more feasible option in SA at the moment as opposed to Spotify ($ people budget in SA since our overall debt per capita in the country is very high, thus more affordable plans = more people who would switch from Appple Music to Spotify). Just a good idea overall.

Hey Spotify Team

 

I would like stress how great it would be to have a family plan in South Africa! You have a great app in place just please and kindly start adding sweets to the cake. 

 

Please prioritize this, I have noticed how most of us would love to switch to Spotify except it doesn't have a family plan. 

 

Keep us posted on the progress of this feature! 

 

Thank you guys, keep doing the great work!

Was 100% ready to switchover from Deezer Family Plan to Spotify until I discovered that this feature isn't available for South Africa yet... Will stick to Deezer until you release a family plan option.
