    You'll have a username and password for each app store (Irish and US), its then just a case of logging in and out on your phone to whichever app store you want to use.

    No, the store on your iphone will remain Irish.

    I have a UK and a US one. I haven't downlaoded any from them but the missus downloaded a UK only one so it really depends on you finding an app you like not avilable here

    The last one used will open. For example, I downloaded music from the UK store on my phone a couple of weeks ago (part of the 12 Days promotion). The next time I went to update my Irish apps on the phone, I had to log in to my Irish account again, as it was still in the UK one. Now I'm in the Irish account, and will stay there unless and until I log into my UK or US account (although I rarely do that on the phone, usually just do it on my Mac, which doesn't effect the phone's account).

    Yeah, until you log out of it. Once you log in with the US iTunes account, you're in the US app store.

    Yeah, I mean that if you want the itunes store on your phone to remain Irish, then do nothing and don't worry about it

    I am assuming that once you download the apps they will be stored on your phone and you will be able to use them regardless of which store you happen to be logged onto.

    is this the case?

    That is correct.

    Lovely...

    Thanks for the advice.

    i use a us account. Much cheaper than an irish one and you get movies and tv programs much before they appear in the irish version.

    When you say cheaper, does that mean you can actually pay for US apps? Have you got a US credit card and billing address?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 145 ✭✭Thedogsgone


    Just did this. It worked with no problems although i had to put in a us address.

    Theres some pretty cool free stuff on the Itunes.

    I'm downloading something called bobs burgers as we speak

    BoxFresh,

    i don't link it to my credit card. i buy USD vouchers on line.

    i genreally use these guys: http://www.pcgamesupply.com/

    new releases are USD 4.99 for movies, TV shows are .99 USD.

    i got 30 dollars for 26 euro two weeks ago.
