I have moved to Australia from India. My Google Play Store doesn't allow me to download Australian applications. It tells me that the application is not available in my country, but I am in Australia, so why am I not allowed to download? The application I'm trying to download is free of cost. Please help.

By 'shifted' what do you mean? You traveled from india to australia, or you switched the country associated to your google account from india to australia?– cavpolloCommented Jul 13, 2016 at 8:58

To make Playstore aware you're moved needs a few steps to perform. Please see How do I change the Google Play country? and also Problems with changing the default country in Google Play Store (taken from our google-play-store tag-wiki: our tag-wikis often hold useful details on frequent issues).– IzzyCommented Jul 25, 2016 at 6:36

If you are using your mobile data you still have a india ip address. try downloading on wifi.

Huh? If OP moved to Australia, why should the device get an Indian IP on mobile data? Even if on roaming (and not with a local contract), the device would use a local provider and thus get an Australian IP.– IzzyCommented Jul 25, 2016 at 6:34

If he doesnt have a Aussie Sim card he would still have a India sim which would give a india ip address.– user1871Commented Jul 25, 2016 at 15:13

Nope, it wouldn't. If he's in Down Under, his SIM couldn't reach out to an Indian cell to book into. It would use the roaming feature and book into an Aussie cell – which provides Aussie IPs, not Indian ones. From the linked tag-wiki: done by using a communication terminal or else just by using the subscriber identity in the visited network (emphasis mine). For additional details, also see the corresponding Wikipedia article.– IzzyCommented Jul 25, 2016 at 15:16
