    I was living in France when I activated my iPhone (3gs, iOS 5.1) so it is French in the iTunes store.

    Someone bought me an iTunes voucher and it only works in Ireland, is there any way of changing it to be an Irish iPhone?

    You will need to log-out of the iTunes store and then change country (it's at the bottom if the Store on the iPhone). You will have to create a new account though, which is a pain. Alternatively if you no longer live in france you can change your country and billing address in your account. This should take you to the Irish store.

    It's not the phone, it's the account. As said above, create a new account for the new country.
    This is a pain since every time an old app (for France) needs updating you'll have to provide the French account details for that.

    One of many small things about Apple that bugs me but I've learned to live with (as you do).

    You can or at least you could change the country of your account
    I changed my NZ account back to Ireland about 18months ago, the only problem was I had 30cent credit, and you cannot change country while you have credit in your account, I was unable to spend this credit as there was nothing for 30cent in the app store, I had to request apple take my 30cent then changed the country to Ireland.
    You need to do this on a computer not on the iphone
