Hi I'm in Ireland
I know nothing about iphones, my daughter was given an iphone3 from her aunt in the uk we got it sort of unlocked it works for calls texts and and internet but can't get apps for it as it was registered in the uk.

any help greatly appreciated

Is this any help to you: How to Install Apps from iTunes Store That Aren't Available in your Country

you could jailbreak it then you will be able to install any ipa file

Thanks Kryton I will try that as I dont know how to jail break it and knowing me would probably break it

They are pretty easy to jailbreak and you can always restore with itunes if anything did go wrong.
how was the phone unlocked? If it was software unlocked then chances are its already jailbroke.
If you have a cydia app then it is

Thanks again Kryton
I will give it a go over xmas and let you know how it goes
Have a lovely Christmas
