If your credit card is not accepted in the app store, can you purchase and redeem iTunes gift cards for the specific country?


Apple would love to be able to provide the store services for every country. It would be almost like printing money - but there are restrictions placed on them in the country as far as content, as well as electronic monetary transfers.


Try the iTunes Gift card route.


HTH.
