This is useful for the non US iPhone users and it's simple:

1. Go to iTunes and log off (click on your name then log off)
2. Go to iTunes USA (choose USA in the bottom of the page)
3. Go to Apps
4. Buy any free Apps
5. A pop up will open, Click "Create new Account"
6. When payment method id required, click "none" (this is new !)
7. You are ready to download the free apps !

I tried this and it doesn't work. You choose none, fill out your details and get the UK store only. If you change it to the US store, you don't have a none option.

great now if everything wasnt in dollars and i could search for stuff in the uk :/


would be useful if someone could create say 'macrumous@xxx.com'

that was signed up to the us store with fake info for anyone to log in and just download the free apps.

Is there much point in downloading US only apps when they are limited to US only services. For example, eBay app can only search US auctions, YP app only provides services for the US.:confused:
