How to create iTunes account without credit card

As part of one of the steps to get cracked iPhone apps for iPhone or iPod Touch, you need to download a app from the App Store. The problem is you don't have a credit card in order to creat a iTunes account. Or, maybe the App you want isn’t available in your country’s store. This guide will let you create a free account for any country the iTunes store runs in.

1. First of all – select the iTunes store in which you’d like to have an account. You can use the store selector towards the bottom of the iTunes store homepage.



2. When the front page loads up for your desired country – go and click on the top app from the “Top Free App” section.




3. When the app page loads, hit the ‘Get App’ button.



4. The login prompt will appear – click on ‘Create New Account’




5. Click Continue, then tick the “I Accept” box, and click Continue again





6. Fill out your details on the next page (you’ll need a real, valid email address), and click continue




7. And now, here is where it gets interesting. If you have followed each of the previous steps, you should now have a ‘None’ option as a payment method. Select that ;)



8. After that, fill out your details. If you don’t live in the country you’re creating the account in, make up an address. (Like say, for example, one of Apple’s Retail Store locations if they have some in that country. – http://apple.com/retail ), then click Continue


9. You will now see a message telling you to click on the confirmation link sent to the email you supplied earlier; it looks a little like this;



Then check your email inbox (or spam folder), open the email and click the confirmation link




10. iTunes will pop up, and here you’ll enter your brand new iTunes account details.




11. If all goes to plan, you will be greeted with a congratulations page.



12. You’re done! You can now download free music (namely the ‘Free Single Of The Week’), as well as some free TV shows in some stores, and all the free apps that are available to you in the App Store


Wait… why couldn’t I just create an account without going to the app store first?

If you try and create an account straight from the log on box/when you purchase some music, you will be missing the ‘None’ option from Step 7.

Can I fill out my credit card details for another country’s store?
Not unless it was issued in the country that you’re trying to add it to – iTunes will verify the location of where the card was issued. So, for example, you couldn’t use an Australian Visa card in the United States store.

Halloween for Wall Street guys

Well, for personal finance bloggers, the Halloween has already started on Wall Street and on the news today someone had laid out graves of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Wall Street in their backyard. Apart from graves, you can find your favorite Halloween costume at the Halloween Costume Stores. It's almost here and I have a plan on dressing up as witch and appearing on the Jim Cramer's Mad Money show. I will buy the Five Alarm Fire Girl Halloween Costume which is on sale for $33.99 down from its original price of $45.99. This Five Alarm Fire Girl costume includes a hat, choker, top, shorts, gloves and boot tops. The blonde on the website really looks attractive in that witch costume. Maybe that way I will get a nationwide popularity for my blog. Jim does like blonde witches so he should happily invite me on his show. I would also go door to door online i.e. blog to blog and scare away the fellow finance bloggers. I started my blog just last year before the Halloween 2007 and had some scary blogger pictures. Here is that post from last Halloween. Its not my picture but its real scary to boo away all the finance bloggers. Halloweenadventure.com also offers Free Economy Shipping witch through FedEx Smartpost (USPS). Just spend a little over $60 and get free economy shipping, but remember this witchy promotion ends October 10th. There are also some exciting promotional discounts like 10% off Boo-Bucks on any regularly priced item. So hurry up and get your Halloween shopping done now, before Wall Street becomes Main Street.

Blog Income Report for Sep 2008

Last month-end on Labor day weekend, when I reported my Aug 2008 income, I had set a target to achieve $1000 in September. Effective last month I also performed some cleanup of non-performing ads and stagnant ads that did not have any impact on earnings. Unfortunately I missed my $1000 mark due to Blogpicks going offline, but not by a huge margin at all. Thank you to my readers for believing in my blog principles and your determination that anyone can make a steady blog income from the FREE blogger platform.

Get Free iPhone minutes with Fring

If you have been looking forward to this you will be happy to see it was released! You can get Free iPhone minutes with Fring. This shows that Apple has really turned the corner and is willing to rebuild relations with developers. After 6 months of not-quite-official availability for those of us with jailbroken iPhones, Fring, a free mobile Voice-over-IP service (VoIP), has made its way to the App Store. With that, a day that some said would never come has arrived: Skype calls can now be made on the iPhone, no hacks required. Beyond the Skype functionality (which I imagine would be its most popular use), Fring also lets you chat (and call, where appropriate) friends over MSN, GoogleTalk, AIM, Yahoo, Twitter, ICQ, and of course, Fring’s own service.

Note that when dialing using "Cellular," you receive the following confusing message:

"Note: Operator voice fees apply for all regular cellular calls. Continue?"

It is not that there a fee that gets applied to your phone bill. Fring is "free," but it's simply telling this vague message about voice fees. This message basically says that making a cellular call through fring will cost you the same as if you were making the call from your handset without fring (you will be billed by your cellular operator)
