Paid Application available in INDIA

Hi,

I dont know about androidcentral.com. But if you want to use paid apps from the market, try "Market Enabler". And yeah, you need to be rooted for it to work.

Market enabler has been around since the beginning of paid applications. A few seconds worth of google search would have revealed it. Paid applications are available EVERYWHERE.

Market Enabler has not been updated in a while... Try Market Access instead... it's a rewrite of Market Enabler and works great with Froyo... http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess

i bought 2 apps off the market using malaysian credit card with no problem.

It's now officially available in india.

Yeah saw that news, Still the buy button is greyed out. I think in a week time, I will be able to buy Apps.

It will be huge disappointment if SwifyKey goes to 3.99 again!

Yeah... But I was talking about google's announcement of market availability in 20 other countries including india.. They have announced it yesterday.. But I still can't see apps in market.

I received this email from the Android market. According to this it's over the next two weeks, so I would not worry quite yet.

Yeah i do have market access, but the problem is when the google checkout screen comes after buy, my indian card is greyed out and there is an option to select another card but unfortunately there is no way to select India as the country.

So in my case, having only an indian credit card is impossible to buy apps.
Any workaroung guys other than getting myself a US applicable credit card

There is a workaround for this problem

1. Go to checkout.google.com on your PC & enter your primary Gmail account details.Make sure this account is also your primary account on your Android phone.
2. You can now register your credit card and also enter an Indian shipping address.
3. Now go to the list of providers in MarketAccess and select any provider.I chose the very 1st option T-Mobile US.
4. Once the SIM has been emulated, go to market. You should now be able to see paid apps.
5. Select any paid app which you want to buy and you will automatically be directed to the Google checkout option where your card will be listed.Select the card and proceed to buy the application.
6. Almost instantly you will receive an email from Google confirming your order details and the application will start downloading from market.

I have purchased about 8 apps from the market using this method right here from India. I am really happy that I am able to support the wonderful Android community by buying the apps. Hope you enjoy your paid apps
