Problem with i phone I wish to download some apps but when i try to register my apple id it asks for Bank Account details and billing address. My billing address is here so it redirects me to the Turkish store the details they require ie a 5 fig post code does not apply here also there is no facility to change the language to English.

Having done some research there is reputably a facility when asked for payment details ie. tick the none box -there is no none box shown when i try.



I have tried the VPN and it wont work either using that



Any ideas?

i tried sorting this out, if your using a local credit card ie turkish bank it will only let you buy from the turkish site which has nothing on it, i even went into the apple shop next to pia bella hotel and asked them how to get round it he told me the only way is to use an english credit card ! so if you sort am sure we will all be pleased to hear about how

No need for a card hippo I have many accounts without using a credit card. I have opened a few acounts for my boys so they a can download the free apps as I used to let them use my account but they run up a £70 bill.



Just follow the instructions in the link.

I am not sure if you have followed this procedure properly but you need to try and purchase a free app from itunes without logging into itunes. Then it will give you an option to register an account without a credit card. This procedure does not require you to verify your email as you will not be purchasing any apps apart from the free ones. I think email validation is for credit card accounts.

ataturk-all working now thanks for your guidance, I had followed the instructions on the apple site but for some reason it wouldnt work. The verification took about two hours to come through .

Thanks again- a drink I owe you.

Just a word of warning........only down load apps from a well known and trusted sauce.There was a radio programme about a scam that is doing the rounds.....each time you download one of theese apps, unbeknown to the owner their mobile is constantly ringing out, you know nothing of this until you get your monthly statement by which time it could be a few thousand pounds............not sure how it all works but be aware................

Jail breaking your phone allows you to download paid apps for free

Ok had the same probelm, couldn't see the None button when it ask about CCard details, you have to use a different email address to the one you used on your computer when you contected your phone to the i store, I just made up a new one using the same password so I wouldn't forget it, after you have done this you should be able to see the NONE option, I don't pay for apps as I don't have a credit card, so it didn't bother me. so many free ones there is no need.
