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

JamesX

i'll give it a shot, just out of curiosity how does your iphone know what account to use when you try and install an app eg. ebay -- is it when you sync ? does it automatically work with whatever account you are signed in itunes your mac or pc?

JamesX

so just to be clear about adding apps to iphone from us store

For example if I d/l the ebay app on the us store, then plug in my iphone and press sync in itunes will my iphone automatically detect the store I am signed in on my iphone even though (my iphone) is currently signed in to the cdn store ?

My iPhone 3G doesn't care. I can be signed in to either store, and do a sync or a restore. It downloads all the apps I've added since the last sync, and it doesn't affect the ones I downloaded before from either store.

interesting, Kgirl's iphone switches to whichever store she is logged into when she syncs.

neeshO - do you have any problems installing us apps even though are locked into having cdn store on iphone?

I set up a US account as described and also found that my Paypal account doesn't work. I'd like to be able to buy some content for my upcoming Apple TV purchase. Has anyone tried using a Cdn iTunes card?

Thanks for bumping this thread, I came here this morning looking for this exact thing.

I made the account and was sent the verification email, however when I click the confirmation link the page is not loading.

Any ideas?


*edit*
It works now, was just a networking issue
