Do I need a credit card on file to get free apps? I am going to preface this by saying I don't think it is duplicate because the other questions are older and ever so slightly different.The only question that really might be a duplicate was asked three years ago and based on someone who is in Argentina.

Do I need to provide a credit card number to get a free app in the United States? I am asking because I want to buy and iPod touch and do not have a credit card!
You can set your payment details to none when you set up your Apple ID. This way you can download free content without the use of a creditcard.
