"APP not available in my region" why did you even start the market place then !!

[Roslan Hristov]

How come i don't have the privilege to download some of the apps in my region (Bulgaria)?
Because we are in Eastern Europe ? Or we're too stupid for Windows phone marketplace?
Or because my HTC 8X doesn't operate with Windows Phone 8 like the other peoples phones?

It's like this for the Apple App Store too. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

I don't understand why marketplaces are different, but they are, they always have been. Maybe "your" country won't allow those apps. Maybe it has to do with your country's language. Maybe you should contact MS direct instead of the forum. Coming here and being snotty about it won't get you any answers. Maybe next time, ask in a more reasonable tone and someone might be willing to explain it to you.

A trick you could try:

Change the country of your email ID

And

Your phone region

Should work. Sorry to hear about your problem. I am from india, and I too faced this issue.

You do that and you won't be able to use your local CC to buy apps anymore. Your CC must be of the same region as your phone and email.

It has nothing to do with you being Bulgarian (or Indian, or Jamaican, or Canadian etc). It's a bs notion called "geoblocking". It's total horsecrap and it's not Microsoft's fault, the government puts it place to protect local economies or whatever nonsense they come up with.

Yep, thank your nation-state for geoblocking restrictions. It's a regulation put in place by national governments.

Riiight. Yet another European blaming the US for THEIR issues. It's your f'ing government that does it. F'ing christ

 

[Roslan Hristov]

I'm not blaming the US... Windows phone 8 is not the US ... I'm saying that i should have the same rights for use and privileges for apps like any other WP8 user.....

I agree with you. Some apps are restricted for legal issues but in most cases the US just get all the favours for no apparent reason (latest example being the Nokia update up on AT&T before going to unlocked phones).
Have you tried what I suggested? It's pretty simple and it works.

I have checked your solution isn't this option going to restart my whole phone.. i mean i'm going to lose my apps and everything ?

 

[Roslan Hristov]

Hey it worked i changed the settings and it works hope this doesn't make ma credit card crash

 

[jdhooghe]

Again I tell you to blame your f'ing government. You need to realize, both of you actually, that the US AND Canada got the update. It's not because of whatever evil power the US "is." Quit being children and use your brains. If your government thinks you're "too stupid" then that is an issue with you and your government. Blame Europe's regulations.

Chill dude.

You're playing into the arrogant American stereotype quite nicely.

 

[jdhooghe]

I'm playing into the not letting little punks not take responsibility for their own problems stereotype.

Nothing arrogant about throwing nonsensical arguments back at people.

Ok friend it seems that you don't understand my point..... i'm not talking about the US or my country, because like i said before "Microsoft" is not the US....
