Free US iTunes Store Account (no need credit card)
At first, i was badly seeking high and low for such info, but then i found a web link to a site showing how to achieve that. Sorry i couldn't remember that link exactly, but i do exactly remember how to get one US iTunes Store Account for free. US iTunes Store has the most apps that other countries' store do not. So let's do it and get the most free apps out from it.
1. Make sure you have iTunes installed. Go get it from apple.com
2. Launch your iTunes application, click on iTunes Store from the list on the left of your screen.
3. In the Search box, top-right-most of the application, key in "fring" or any free application name you know will also work. It is just a trick to allow you to get into creating an account with an option to choose "None" in credit card information entry.
4. The applications will appear in the result list. Click on "Get App"
5. A windows pops up for you to enter your account info, but click on "Create New Account" instead.
6. Proceed with "Continue" until you need to input Apple ID information.
7. Enter your E-Mail Address as your Log in User, a Password, a Security Question and an Answer, Date of Birth info, untick the below two Update-you check boxes if you hate, click Continue again.
8. In "Provide a Payment Method," Choose "None" for Credit Card, leave or enter Code if you have--the first time you do this with iTunes, you'd see the code, i guess. Fill in Address properly. Hint: since the location is US, so enter the City (i chose New York), State (i chose NY - New York), Zip Code (I chose 01212)--you can change it later in the last screen if it is wrong, Phone (i entered any-3-digits and any-7-digits number). Click Continue. Try to change the Zip Code if it is not allowing, but finally i got it work 3 times. Hopefully, it is the same for you.
9. While iTunes is creating, you will be sent the Activation Link to your entered Email Address. Go there and click on it to Activate.
10. Come back to iTunes to Sign in, your account is completely created. Congrats!!! You can then browse apps right from you iPhone.
Note 1: If you cannot get it, try to fully exit iTunes and open it up again. it works just fine for me.
Note 2: If you want to download free apps or music from iTunes and later sync to iPhone, and if you see "Unauthorized" message or something, go to iTunes > Store > Authorize Computer... (You can authorize computer with your account with the limitation of 5 times unless you Deauthorize Computer, or go create more iTunes Store Account)
Any comments?
