Billing info for free apps on phone.

Why am I being asked for billing information before downloading new FREE apps on my phone?

You have to have a credit card associated with your iTunes store ID unless you created it this way: Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method.

App store won't let me download apps but wont let me reove billing info for FREE app downloads.

I cannot download apps anymore. Free apps. I used a card of mine that had a few dollars on it to purchase two games that were 99 cents. I had close to three dollars. But now I cannot update or download my apps thanks to a SEEMINGLY bad billing account. Thanks, but its not bad. There is enough for it to be taken out, and still have money left in there. I've done the math. But because of this issue, I can no longer download free apps, nor update the ones I have. Nor will my account allow me to REMOVE my billing info. Can someone help me out please?

If you were trying to use a debit card then they I don't think that they are still accepted in all countries,or your card issue may have declined the purchases. Do you have a different card that you could try so that what you owe can be paid, or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you can redeem one onto your account - if iTunes thinks that you owe money then you won't be able to download anything until what is owed is paid, or you've contacted iTunes Support and they've agreed that you don't owe anything

Billing info for free apps?

Why apple wont let me download free apps if i dont have money on my credit card?I dont get that,they only accept the billing info if "you" have ballance on that credit card,thats not right.For paid apps its normal,but for free???

I know why that card is being declined now.....it seems that i owe them 0.89$ for need for speed most wanted ,the payment was aproved back then and i downloaded that game but they didn't take that amount right away, so 2 days later when that account got empty they couldn't take that amount.Well,its not my fault that it takes the bank that much time to send those payment's,now i have to wait 3 weeks like i said to fix this issue.I wonder ...if i delete the game ....they forget about that 0,89$? ?? )))))))) This is the 1'st time i see this in online payment history

Want to access App Store, it asks for my billing info for free installs. Is that authentic

I have had to get a new debit card with a new number and a new security number on the back. I can't remember my security number from my old card. Any suggestions on how to update billing info when I'm in the App Store.

You need to use a credit card.

If None is not available - On your computer launch iTunes and click “iTunes Store” in the left navigation pane. Click the “down arrow” next to your name at the top right side of the page and click “Account.” Enter your username and password and click “View Account” to log into your account information. Next to your Payment Type, click “Edit.” Select the “None” button and click “Done.” Confirm that your card has been removed by returning to the Apple account information screen. Under Payment Type, it should say that there is no credit card on file.

Credit Card info for FREE apps

I just got a new iphone, I am trying to download facebook on it, and it shows in the apps folder that it's FREE, but when I click to INSTALL it keeps asking me to verify my credit card security ID. Why do I have to give credit card info to download and install a FREE app?

The credit card associated with your iTunes account perhaps changed or something. A valid credit card is needed for iTunes purchases regardless of their cost (or lack of).
Actaully a Itunes card added the account will do the same exact thing. Added a CC, then a itunes card then deleted the cc, can get any free app I want

App store keeps asking for my credit card info for free apps!??

Every time I go to get a free app, I keep getting asked for my credit card info to be updated. If it's free, why is my credit card info needed!?? I don't want to get charged, so I cancel out of the credit card request, it's not worth trying to get unwanted charges taken off. I would write to Apple but for some strange reason they refuse to use email for help. So, guess I will just try here.
Thanks,
Jim

Hello All,
Even I do faced same issue on my iphone 5 recently, because I had updated my credit card details while purchasing 'whats app'. Later on if I try do down load free apps, it started asking me verify payment info..I got frustrated and tried to remove apple id and create the same id and reset networksettings, but issue not resolved.!!
Possible scenarios of it occures:
1. While creating your apple id you might have given credit card info an dlater that got modified/expired
2. Once you buy anything by using credit card that info will be updated to your apple id, so it asks every time
Resolution:
Just remove your credit card details from payment information
setting > icloud > account > payment information -- remove ur credit card info , done done
Then try to download free app, it will only asks for apple password, It will not ask for 'payment verification'
Thank you
Krish

Credit card for free app on phone?

Everytime I try to get a free app. It ask's for a credit card? It never has before (started about 3 months ago). In fact, I've never gave info for a credit card? What changed?

It is another form of identification for the increased security of the account. If you choose not to supply a card, choose the None option.

Financial info for FREE app???

Read this, and you can get around it, AFTER your first app purchase (even if it's free)

Tap Settings > General > International. Make sure the Region Format is correct.
As for your Apple ID. Tap Settings > Store > Apple ID > iForgot
Resetting your Apple ID may help.
Congrats on your new iPad !!!

Why is it asking for my billing info but the app is free how do I turn this off?

Why is it asking for my billing info but the app is free how do I turn this off?

possibly to verify age or perhaps the app has "add on" features that cost and they would need to know where to bill these to if you wanted them
I know you can store your billing details, even a credit card number, securely within your iTunes account to prevent you from getting this prompt for future apps

Why am I being asked for my billing info for updating free apps? This has never happened before! Now I can't update anything. Is there anyway around this?

I am being asked to provide my billing info for updating free apps... This has never happened before. I don't have a credit card so is there anyway around this??

The only way is to create an Apple ID without a credit card. The one you currently created will not work, it has to be a new one, and use this support document to do it. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 Make sure you follow the directions exactly.

HT1918 I've canceled the billing info, got an app store pre paid card and still can't download any apps! Free nor purchasing! Hel

I've canceled the billing info, got an app store pre paid card and still can't download any apps! Free nor purchasing! Help!!

If you're in the USA, it would be hard to zero balance a gift card just with purchases as there are sales taxes in most areas that you don't know the amount of until the purchase is complete. My guess is that the issue is with the last purchase, there wasn't enough credit left on the card to cover the sales tax.

TS1702 I am being charged for free app downloads

I have just bought a new iPhone 4s and after downloading free apps my phone kept taking me to the billing section. I deleted the apps and then restarted my phone. I have downloaded them again and I have just seen my bank account and I have been charged for the free apps. How do I get my money back after clearly being ripped off!!!

You should go to your account info in iTunes, log into your iTunes account, search for your purchase list and click on "report problem", or contact iTunes via Apple - Support - Express Lane -

Apple Charging me for Free Apps! ***!

Ok so this is the 2nd time in past 2 weeks that iTunes charged me twice for free apps! I know what i'm doing and i've been a member from last 2 and half years and i never had this kind of issue and i know which apps i bought already i also know that where to click Free and Buy button. I was downloading free app i mean clicked the Free button and after 2 mins i got a msg on my cell phone that i've been charged around $2.50 from itunes and this happened twice. Please guys dont even think about replying me with stupid suggestion that you are mistaking and bla bla free button and buy button etc. whenever i click Free button to download it takes me to my billing page and insist me to put my code when i put they charge. So it means the are ripping our money by making us fool for free apps now? i can mistake once but not twice. It has happened same with my friend and i did'nt believed her first and told her that she's mistaken but she was right. I want my money back!
