How to get a US iTunes account - for free! (with no credit card)

Rounder · Aug 9th, 2008, 02:14 PM

Thanks for this tip! Worked great and was able to get eBay and Google app

Like so many others, thanks for the tip on this.
One further question: If I have a US credit card (even one from a Cdn bank) can I use that on my US account and forgo the Ebay app-buy Itunes card.
Are you going the Ebay route because you can't use a Cdn credit card?
Can anyone help me out here?

Great post kgirl24. Haven't tried it yet but just wanted to give you props for this one. We need more like this.

Works just the way you people have said. I now have Google App on my phone. Thanks.
Does anyone know where I can find a list of the different apps between the two stores?
It would take a long time to try and sort them all out.

I followed the instructions, setup the new account, but now it seems it has reverted back to the Canadian store when I logon

Weird....I'm not sure if I ever used that email address before...I guess I must have since when I went to https://myinfo.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyInfo.woa and logged in, it had all of my old contact info from a previous address...in Canada. Guess I blew it.

So I've created another US iTunes account using another email address here Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card. Seems to have worked.

So in order to pay for purchases now, do I have to get an iTunes card, or can I just input my credit card info?

I asked that question awhile ago but didn't get an answer/ The trouble with the credit card might be that it will have a Cdn address.
But can anyone help on this....do you have to buy an Itunes card on Ebay for this to work?
