Hello,

Everything is in the title... I didn't think I would be tied down by buying an iPhone, I really don't like that feeling at all!!!!!!!

I'm neither a sheep nor a fool. Is there a way to bypass this kind of forced sale where they ask me for a credit card number I don't have?

If I had known that, I wouldn't have tried switching from Android to iPhone, believe me

Thank you

Configuration: Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) / Firefox 43.0

    Hello, when you have an iPhone and therefore an Apple account, you are not required to provide a credit card.
    The trick to creating an account without a credit card is to not set it up right away; when the phone is activated or when you have installed iTunes on your computer, do not complete the account creation. Go to the Store and choose a free app, then create your account from there. When you reach the payment method page, the option "None" will appear.
    The requirement to go through the Apple Store ensures that downloads are free of viruses.
