download free apps for iphone without credit card on file?


I have to buy a new iphone because mine old phone has damaged and is almost dead. So the new one has new boot room so I am stuck with the old version of Iphone. Now there is one problem that apps for iphone cannot be downloaded from apps store because it can’t be done without credit card on file. My question is there any way around to solve this problem so that I don’t have to put card on file to download free apps?

To download free apps without a credit card on file, you need to follow the steps given below,

Step 1: Find a free app on the App Store and tap install.

Step 2: The next screen on your iPhone will ask for a Sign In on which you have to select 'Create New Apple ID' by tapping.

Step 3: Select your country, agree with the given terms and conditions, enter your date of birth, email address, security question and create your password on the next screens.

Step 4: The most important step, you need to select 'None' as your payment option on this screen. Tap on Credit Card and select 'None'.

Step 5: Continue filling up the other necessary information like address etc as they come along on the screen and there will be a screen at the end saying 'Verify your account'. Tap 'done' and wait for the confirmation email to arrive on your specified email ID.

Step 6: Open the email and tap on the given link to activate your account. App store should open at this point and will ask for your username and password to sign in. After signing in, you are free to download free apps from the App Store without using any credit card information.
