Create A Free US iTunes Account From Any Country

If you have a US iTunes account you can get all sorts of freebies like new songs or media that is only being made available for US users. We previously mentioned how to get a free US iTunes account but Apple soon after disabled that option. You see, if you want to create a new iTunes account you usually have to add one of your credit cards to that account. The problem for non-US iTunes users is that the billing address of the credit card has to be located in the country that you are claiming to be a user of. Most non-US users do not have a credit card that has a billing address in the United States of America which essentially means that they cannot sign up as a US user.

There is however a very easy and straightforward way to create a US iTunes account without having to add a credit card or any other means of payment during the account creation phase. The famous None option will be selectable during account creation. Start by visiting the iTunes store. Make sure you are in the United States store. If you are not scroll down to the bottom and change the store to United States. Access the App Store that contains applications for the iPhone. Select a free one from the list of Top Free Apps and click on the Get App link in the detail view. The next window is the login window with the option to create a new account.

Click on the Create New Account button and on Continue in the next window. Accept the license agreement and click continue once more.

Now fill out basic account details, like the email, username and password of that account and click on Continue again.

After that the screen with the payment information and address will appear. Select None as the payment and fill out the address information using a address in the United States. The easiest way to do that is to search in Google for hotels, e.g. Miami hotels, New York hotels and use the address of the hotel as the address.

Verify the email in the last step and you are set to use the US iTunes account. Here is a quick recap:

• Open the United States iTunes store
• Download a free iPhone application
• Select to create a new account
• Enter username, password and email
• Select none option and add a US address with matching zip, town and street.
• Verify the email

This should work from any country. If you got problems or tips let us know in the comments.
