Hi

I recently purchased an unlocked and jailbroken phone in India. I have no idea which country it originally belonged to nor do I know which software was used for jailbreak (I don't even have Cydia etc installed).

I downloaded itunes and registered for an account choosing 'India' as my region and registered my Indian credit card as well. Then I went to Settings>Store on my Iphone 4 and logged in successfully using the same id.

But whenever I launch the Store Application on my iPhone I get an error - "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Indian Store". On clicking "OK", the app shuts down. I am able to download apps from the itunes store on my PC using the same id. (The itunes store shows the apps' prices in $ instead of Indian Rupees though but I am not sure if it should indeed show the price in Indian Rupees).

Apologies if this has been asked before. I tried searching a lot but could not locate a similar issue.

Many thanks!

I would NOT trust that the original seller hasn't modified the iOS install in some way (possibly a patch to allow pirated apps to be installed).

This is why we suggest you always jailbreak yourself with trusted tools.

However it might be something as simple as setting the region format in the iPhone to India.
