Buying with a credit card from another country
Hello,
I live in Greece and except from a greek billing account I also have a french billing account with a credit card because I lived in France for some years. Now, I want to buy, for different purposes, OS X Mountain Lion with my french credit card. Can I do sush a thing if I leave in Greece? Will I have to change to the French Mac App Store to buy it and if yes, if one day I want to reinstall it or install it on another Mac will I have to to do it from the French Mac App Store? Thank you in advance!
The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Billing policy is the same for the Mac App Store.

During opening Apple ID. I do not get My country region Bangladesh in given country region list and credit card from my country is not accepting apple. How could I sort it out? I cannot buy any app
Yeap, that's what I was afraid of. I have a valid card and a valid billing address, I just don't see why they're keeping people like me from using their service, and what the actual roadblock is in getting an iTunes Store for Serbia.
Thanks anyway! -

Yes, you should be able to use a local SIM card from a carrier in Ontario. You should not have to do anything prior to doing so.

HT1918 Can i use credit card from other country to paid my unpaid bills in apple store?
Can i use other credit card from other country to pay my unpaid bill in apple store?
I cannot upadate or download bcoz of my unpaid bill!You can only use a credit card that is issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are based. If you don't have one of those then are iTunes gift cards available in your country ?

Charge of extra 1% when I buy with my credit card ( itunes.mx in MXN )
Charge of extra 1% when I buy with my credit card ( itunes.mx in MXN ) if itunes receipt is $ 360 MXN, why the charge is $ 363.59?
However my bank called me and said that Apple charged me 4 times the amount of 1 dollar. At the end I still can't use the iTunes store, and I have 4 dollars down
Note that the $4 is not really a charge but a hold used to verify the card.
It will be released back to your account. -

Can't register with itunes with a credit card from outside the USA
Who do I write to, to complain that because I don't live in one of
the countries listed in the drop down list on the Itunes store, I
cannot register my credit card OR purchase from Itunes ?
I am trying to register to buy online with ITUNES. However the
system does not seem to allow me to change the country from the
United States to Argentina where I live and where my Bank of America credit card is registered !
Come on guys, I thought Apple was better than this and recognised
that there is a world outside Bill Gates' USA ! How can I change the
country ?
[email protected]Unfortunately, if your country doesn't have it's own store, you are out of luck. Content providers such as record companies require a CC with a billing address from the country that you use. The content providers require this rule as they do not care for cross-border sales, so it really is not Apple's fault.

Buying with parents credit card
I'm a college student and my parents want to buy me a creative cloud subscription as my birthday gift. I study in the States but my parents live in a different country. when I try to put in their payment information, I can't change the country of the billing from US to their country of residence. Is there a way I can do this?
Thanks!The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.

I need to know any problems I might have getting a SIM card in another country and swapping it w current card in my iPhones (4 and 5).
Need both phone and internet access while there. My carrier has no service (verizon)
Also assume all apps and data on phones will still work?The GSM section of your Verizon iPhone 5 is unlocked and will work with any nano-SIM card.
Not all iPhone features such as FaceTime, iMessage, visual voicemail, etc, may work if using a carrier that doesn't support iPhones. If using an unofficial carrier, you may need to enter APN settings to get cell data. LTE may not be compatable. -
Hi,
I would like to buy a book and deliver it to USA but I live in EU. As it is not possible to deliver outside my region, I've been thinking on this:
1) Make a new AppleID with the address of my relatives in the US.
2) Pay with my Credit Card.
My only hope is that there will be no problems in the payment, the locale and the delivery.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.how about this one. I was in Australia for a while and redeemed a giftcard. I'm back in the states now but still have a $0.67 on my account. I can't change back to my US account until that credit is gone. How do I get rid of it?
