Google: this app is not available in your country

Posted on July 23, 2013July 23, 2013 By admin

Well, that was painful as hell.

Ever since we moved from the UK to Switzerland and opened a bank account with the BCV, I’ve been trying to download and install the app from the Google Play Store without success. It keeps complaining that the app is not available in my country (O.o). After much swearing at uncooperative phone systems, turns out that the culprit is the Google Wallet. My credit card, which I registered a loooong time ago, has a UK address, which is what Google bases itself on (in part). So, I had to update my credit card details, then flush out my browser cache, and voila, app downloaded. It really didn’t help that the default language for the Swiss play store is German, nor that the mobile phone reception on campus is shit so I couldn’t get the 2-step Google verification codes easily. It took me about an hour of faffing to get it done.

Quote of the day

"Sometimes I really think people ought to have to pass a *proper* exam before they're allowed to be parents. Not just the practical, I mean."
