Prepaid card purchased in Australia, use in US acc...

Howdy...
Can a prepaid card purchased in Australia in Australian dollars be used to recharge a US-based account which is charged in US dollars?
If so, what is the exchange rate that would be used? Any weird taxes (like vat) subtracted from the conversion?
Thank you.

Itunes cards are country specific.
U.S. cards need to be redeemed with a U.S. account, on the U.S. store and physically from the U.S.

Use of US-prepaid card with german iTunes account

I'm from Germany and vacationing in the US right now and I'm thinking about buying a pre-paid card for the iTunes Music store.
I like the US-store much better (much bigger selection)and I was not able to set up a us account without a us credit card.
Does anybody know if I will be able to use the us prepaid card with my german music store account.
Thx for helping;o)

Sorry, but no, you can't. A Prepaid card can only be used in the country of purchase. The record companies won't allow cross-border sales and so require Apple to have such restrictions.

ITunes prepaid card loaded w/o selecting while on Apple Tech support

I just purchased 2 iPod Shuffles for my children and 2 $15.00 prepaid iTune cards. After loading the software, we easily got to the song selection site and were ready to select songs but were consistently interrupted by requests to set up an Apple account which required a credit card #. I do not want to provide any credit card numbers b/c my children will not be downloading songs except prepaid card ones so while I was on Apple Tech Support getting them to fix the account setup which was blocking our forward progress, the screen went back to entering your prepaid serial card # and when I did, the message was that your prepaid card has already been used though we selected nothing. I am extremely frustrated and need to know what to do next. Can iT unes reset the card so that my daughter can pick songs? Do we have to provide a credit card number even if we never plan to use one? Help........Judy

No, you don't need a CC. Email iTMS customer service at the bottom of this page

LG Volt - Boost Mobile - Different Prepaid card?

This is the first cell phone I have ever purchased, I visited a Best Buy store that is over 2 hours away from my town in order to get help in purchasing a phone. I don't know anything about phones, I just knew I needed one for my job and I need to start using it tomorrow morning. I explained to the clerk that this would be my first phone and I told her it needed to be no contract and have GPS, this is all I knew to ask. She pointed at a few phones, said any of these will have what you want and she walked off. I was left bewildered by the phones and what to do. I took a shot in the dark and decided to get the LG Volt Boost Mobile and she handed me a slip of paper that had several proces on it for prepaid cards, again I had no idea what i needed but after a few minutes i got frustrated and chose something called a $40 Re-Boost Card.
Now once I made the long trip back homesomeone mentioned that we on't have "coverage" for boost mobile at all, so my question is, can I run to walmart and buy a verizon prepaid card or something to use with this phone (which I have not yet activated or do I now own an expensive paperweight? What do i do, please help, I need this phone working by tomorrow morning.

Hello Rozmere-
I apologize for the lateness of this response; we are currently backlogged from the Thanksgiving holiday and trying to catch up. I’m sorry to hear that this phone may not have ended up working out for you and for what sounds like a lack of customer service on the part of our associate.
It does seem like our associate could have spent more time helping you find a phone that would work out best for you, though if you didn’t know you wouldn’t have coverage from Boost Mobile until you got home, they may not have known that.
If this phone did not work out for you, you should still be able to return it to the store with your receipt per our Holiday Return & Exchange Promise found here. Regrettably, we are not able to return pre-paid gift cards, such as this Re-Boost card.
I apologize for any inconvenience that this caused you and hopefully you found a phone that worked out for you.
Sincerely,
Bill|Senior Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

How do I use a UK music card purchased on holiday, from home in Australia?

How do I use a UK iTunes music card purchased while on holidays in London, from my home in Australia? It would appear that I have just wasted my money.

You can switch to the UK store at the bottom of the iTMS home page where it says "Choose Country." I think you may need to sign up for a new Apple ID. I've done this from Scotland with a US card, so it is possible. Cheers!

You can only download content(other than podcast episodes) from a country's iTunes Store if you're in that country. For paid content, you also need to supply a payment method valid in that country.

The online store uses the same address validation - the help pages for the US online store includes :
Account verification
To prevent any unnecessary delays processing your order, please ensure that the billing addresses on your order matches the information on your credit card account.
Again you can try using it, but you are likely to get an error message

HT2534 How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

Hi Saramos,
When setting up Family Sharing you must have a credit or debit card as your payment method. See this article for reference -
Family purchases and payments
When a family member makes a purchase it will be billed to any gift or store credit that they have first. If none exists it will be billed to you.
As the family organizer, you may not set your billing method for purchases to anything other than a credit or debit card. If you have a store credit such as from pre-paid cards, it may not be shared with other family members. See this article for reference -
How iTunes Store purchases are billed
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Can I use a $10 prepaid card from Walmart for unlimited texting on the iPhone 5?

I want an iPhone 5g SUPER bad! I was wondering if I can just pay for the Walmart prepaid cards that are Verizon and $10 and gives you unlimited texting. (Note: I'm only 15.) So, it has to be cheap because I don't think I can make up about $100 in a week. Yeah most of you are probably thinking have your parents pay for it! Be there, asked that. And just what I get each time? A NOO and a smile and a nod. So please come up with a cheap answer.(: So, could I just go to Walmart, get a $10 Verizon prepaid card for unlimited texting each month, and yeah... Have no problem or do I have to spend thousands of dollars each week? Thanks for your answers and remember since I'm only 15... It has to be cheap cause I'm the one whose more than likely paying for it all by myself.. Thanks. (And please make your answer give me a smile!!!) like this -> :'D

1. Yes, you can go right now and use a GSM SIM card in your Verizon iPhone 5. Note that you will have a different phone number when you do this.
You are not using a SIM card for CDMA in the US. The SIM card in the device is used for LTE in the US.
CDMA and GSM are different types of cellular technology.
2. If you are still under contract, then you would need to be the ETF (Early Termination Fee) for your account. Then you would simply need to get whatever SIM card you desire for service in China.

What Happens if My Postpay Service Is Canceled Before the End of My Contract Term?
If you're signing up for Postpay Service, you're agreeing to subscribe to a line of Service either on a month–to–month basis or for a minimum contract term, as shown on your receipt or order confirmation. (If your Service is suspended without billing, that time doesn't count toward completing your contract term.) Once you've completed your contract term, you'll automatically become a customer on a month–to–month basis for that line of Service. If you cancel a line of Service, or if we cancel it for good cause, during its contract term, you'll have to pay an early termination fee. If your contract term results from your purchase of an advanced device, your early termination fee will be $350 minus $10 for each full month of your contract term that you complete. Otherwise, your early termination fee will be $175 minus $5 for each full month of your contract term that you complete. Cancellations will become effective on the last day of that month's billing cycle, and you are responsible for all charges incurred until then. Also, if you bought your wireless device from an authorized agent or third–party vendor, you should check whether they charge a separate termination fee.

HT5622 how to purchase apps without using credit cards

how to purchase apps without using credit cards

If they are available in your country, you can use Gift Cards. Basically a prepaid card of a specified amount you can redeem to your iTunes account to get the balance for it added to your account.
Then you can use that balance to buy things in iTunes, iBooks, and App Stores.
