Guide to a free itunes account!


Questions And Answers!

Q. Itunes accounts are free anyway, aren't they?
A. Yes but you have to put your credit card details in!

Q. Why would I want to do this anyway?
A. For a 2 reasons mainly if you have a son or daughter with an ipod/ipod touch/iphone or anything that uses itunes/the app store to get content for their device, then you would need to use your credit card details for an account. This would enable your child to happily download away easily spending £100 without realising on albums,apps and movies. With a account with no credit card details they would not be able to do this but still be able to download the free song of the week, free apps and other free content. Without costing you a penny! Also this is great if you download your music of sites such as amazon but you still want free apps!

Q.What if I/ My child wants to buy something?
A. You can use an itunes store card to credit your account!
