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 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

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

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.

Resetting your Apple ID may help.

You can create a new Apple ID without using a credit card for download free apps by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534. Follow it exactly as writtien. Note that you have to download and try to install a free app and then create the ID.

Why does the app store try to charge me for free apps?

I am trying to download free apps and I keep getting sent to my account settings page. Is my phone trying to charge me for free apps?

You most likely do not have a valid form of payment entered in your Apple ID. The valid form of payment is required to download free apps or purchase apps. If the app is free you will not be charged. You can enter a credit card as a valid form of payment. If you don't want to use a credit card or don't have one, you can purchase an iTunes gift card and use that as your valid form of payment.

Can anybody can give me an apple ID and Password for free app. only. Pleaseee

HT1977 When I try and download an app, I get a message "MZCommerce.CreditBalanceMismatch.Mobile_message". This is even for free apps, and I do have plenty of credit. Can anyone help please?

With a standard account you need a valid payment method even for free apps.
From the message it sound like there is something wrong with your account or some of the information you entered in the account is not correct.. Verify that the information is correct and then if still problem contact iTunes.

Processing payment for Free App

Hello,
I'm Ashok using iPhone 5S from India. I have updated to iOS8 recently. Today I'm trying to download a FREE Manchester United FC (official) but my phone is directing me to payment page and asking for Credit card Information. To test this I have given a wrong Verification number, I got a message from my bank that purchase of Rs 60 declined ! I wonder why this amount processed for free app? It's a free app! Is this is an issue in iOS 8 or another problem ?
Thanks,
Ashok

Hi ..
Select None for payment method > iTunes Store: Changing account information
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

HT3702 Itunes charged for free app download (Update).

Itunes charged for free app download (Update). No clue why this happened. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem?

If you mean the temporary store holding charge, as described on the page that you posted from, then that is only temporary, it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
That 'charge' is made each time that you change your card details to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account.
If you mean a 'proper' charge, and it appears on your purchase history and on your credit card, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

So on the one that you changed go into iTunes, go to the iTunes Store, login to your changed account and click on your purchase history.
If it does not show a purchase history, notify the people at the iTunes Store:
