Creating an Account on Azure... Why is it necessary to give any credit card information? Do they charge something?

Hi,
I am new to cloud and find azure good to work with clouds. But I was trying to create trial an account there and it is asking for credit card. Please tell me if this is trial then why it is necessary to give the card details? Moreover, being a trial version,
many of us don't have any cards these days. So till that time we have to wait for the card? Please provide some facility to learn and give some period of trial without any card details.
Thanking you.
Regards,
Syed

Hi,
Please have a look at Azure free trial FAQ:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/free-trial-faq/, We use the phone number and credit card for identity verification. We want to make sure that real people are using Azure. We
do not bill anything on the credit card. So, please wait for the card. If you are a student and don't have a card, please try this link:
http://www.WindowsAzurePass.com/azureu, refer to

    An Apple ID is free and you will be charged nothing for creating it.
    To create an Apple ID without a credit card read Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Step 3 is important, no matter whether you do this on a Mac or an iPad / iPhone:
    Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must download and install a free application. ...
    Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must download and install the free application by tapping Free followed by tapping Install App. ...
    To summarize, you must first download a free app from the App Store. When you are asked to sign in with your Apple ID, select "Create new account". Accept the terms and conditions checkbox, then click Continue. After you enter all the requested personal data, click Continue.
    When you are asked to select a payment method, select "None". 
    That's all there is to it.

  • HT204053 Why do I have to submit my credit card information just to download free apps?

    Why do I have to submit my credit card information just to download free apps?

    You don't, if you follow the instructions on this page when creating an account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) then you don't have to give credit card details, you will get a 'none' option on the payments screen : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • How can I use the money in the iTunes account balance which I have already redeemed from an iTunes gift card without entering any credit card information ?

    I just redeemed an iTunes gift card code and then tried to buy a movie. But iTunes keeps asking me to enter the details of a valid credit card. I had been buying apps, music and movies on multiple Apple devices without any credit card information. I just used the iTunes gift cards. But suddenly iTunes just would't allow me to do that any more. I wonder why... How can I keep using the money I have redeemed from iTunes gift cards without entering any credit card information?

    Perhaps you should Contact the iTunes Store Customer Service:
    Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

  • Why do i need to enter the credit card information for downloading free apps and redeem the codes?

    getting a message says apple id has not yet been used with the itunes store while trying to download apps
    why do i need to enter the credit card information for downloading free apps and redeem the codes?

    As a security precaution, Apple verifies your billing credentials with every transaction whether paid or free apps or using the balance of a redeemed code.

  • I just finished creating my Apple ID yesterday and I filled in some of the credit card information but then I did something and I'm having a hard time filling it again because we're it says choose your state it won't let me contiun

    I just finished creating a Apple ID yesterday and I filled out some of the credit card information and then I pressed something so I didn't finish and today I went to finish filling it out but were it says choose your country it won't let me continue what do I do

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • Why do I need to enter my credit card information, including 3 digits secure code to activate Genius?!

    Hello,
    I have installed iTunes in order to use Genius and receive ideas about what could please me.
    When I activate genius I am always led to a page where my credit card information, including the three digit security code are asked.
    If a transaction is attempted, please tell me: which one, of what amount?
    If not, because Genius is free, why are you needing my security code (the three digit under my card)?
    Regards,
    Grunt.

    I just attempted to create a new account when downloading a free application, and the problem remain the same. There is no way to select no credit card and a payment mode is mantadory.
    The best way would be to add the choice:
    "No Payment mode yet"
    on that web page, to allow all users to select their payment mode only at buying time.
    This would be far more secure for all the reasons I've said:
    APPLE MAY BE HACKED LIKE SONY AND SHALL NOT STORE CREDIT CARDS INFORMATION.
    ESPECIALLY NOT THE SECURE CODE!!!!!
    Don't you agree?
    Apple forces users to find messages among the Internet to understand how they could register without a credit card,
    and not only these explainations don't work, but its far more complex for users to find them and try to follow them than to select a proper option THAT IS NOT HERE but should have been if the web site had been made a honest way.
    BUT, if someone at Apple feel able to setup my account a way no payment mode is mandory,
    please exceute yourself the proper operations to ensure it can truely be done,
    because myself I am now sure that there is no way TODAY to create such account.
    And no one from Apple will able to prove me I am wrong.
    If you believe I am only doing mistakes during my registration, and this is what you are suggesting and I am doing attempts after attempts many differents way, please finish it well from you internal computing services. And eventually, if you failed or refuse to do so, change your web page instead to set that missing option on it.
    Stop telling I am doing wrong:
    Either correct my profile YOURSELVES at Apple, or correct your web site like any good company that pretend being customer friendly would do.
    Apple,
    You have a bug.
    A design flaw.
    Or you are too greedy.
    BUT YOU SHALL ASSUME. And do the proper corrections accordingly without boring me anymore.
    Thanks!

  • Why do you have to put your credit card information in

    why do you have to use credit card information to start an online id

    You don't HAVE to, but it sure does make life easier if you do.  You might want to buy a song.  You might want to buy an App.  You might want to make an In-App purchase.  I've had my CC tied to my iTunes account now for years, and it's completely secure.
    If however, you want to limit what you can download on your iPad.  Here are directions on how to set up a credit card free account.

  • HT5622 Why am I asked to Leave my credit card information for free apps?

    Why am I asked to leave Or provide my credit card information to download a free app?

    To expound just a little bit more on what Ralph is saying ...if you do not set up your Apple ID in a very specific way from the start, Yoy have to enter credit card details even if you are downloading free apps. Your account details are now incompletely with the credit card, even though you don't want to use a credit card.
    This explains exactly how you have to set up an Apple ID if you do not want to use a credit card. If you did not set up the account this way, you are now forced to enter the credit card - if you want to use this ID.

  • Why am I being asked for my credit card information on updates and then being told that my card is declined??h

    I Have three app updates on my iPhone 5c, and the App Store is asking me for my credit card information when it is on file and then it gets declined. What is the purpose of needing my CC info for free updates?? Do NOT make me drop my apple products and change to that **** android crap.

    Howdy GaryFC,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
    If you have a payment source associated with your Apple ID, it needs to be a vaild form of payment.  To troubleshoot issues with your payment type being declined, please follow the steps below.
    In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.
    You can verify and/or modify your billing address by following these instructions:
    Open iTunes.  If you are signed in to iTunes, skip to step 4.
    Note: Verify that you are signed in to the correct iTunes account. If you are unsure which account you're signed into, choose Store > Sign Out and proceed to step 2.
    Choose Store > Sign In.
    Enter your account name and password, then click the Sign In button.
    Choose Store > View My Account.
    Click the Edit Payment Information button.
    In the Payment Method section, choose None.
    Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
    Click the Edit Payment Information button again.
    Enter your billing address exactly as it appears on your credit card statement.
    Select your credit card type in the Payment Method section.
    Enter your credit card information, your card's security code, and the expiration date.
    Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.

  • Why after updating my credit card informations itunes store charge me 2 euros?

    iTunes store regularly ask me to change my password. When I change the password ask me to update my credit card informations. Updating informations charging me 2 euros. This happen to Greek store.

    It will be removed from your card by your card issuer, which should happen within a few days (it varies by bank, and with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two). If you add the card back onto your account then it will get the same temporary charge again - each time that you add or change your card details the charge will be made as it need to confirm that the card is still valid and active.

  • Why do I have to give my debit card information when creating a apple account can I just give something else?

    When I try to download apps it says sign in required then I put in my security code but it said its invalid but I know it's correct but I decided to make another apple account but I don't want to give my debit card number what else can I do?

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.). 
    As regards the security code issue for your current account, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646
    If that doesn't help, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.
