How to download the Spotify iPhone application without a UK credit card

January 08, 2010 in Web Services by Mark Jensen. Commented 3 times.

  1. Go to the iTunes Store and change country to UK (at the bottom)
  2. Find the Spotify application
  3. Click “Download”
  4. Create an account (remember that you need to use an email-address different from any other iTunes-account you might have).
  5. Choose “none” as payment method and provide your UK-address
  6. You now have the Spotify application.

Proof that the option appears:

If you find the application and click "Download", this option appears

Of course you can not do this if you are not a UK resident as the EULA says, but you already knew that, right?

Sadly, “None” doesn’t exist as an option anymore: http://skitch.com/jacobbotter/n2itr/itunes

It still works – I just tested it.

Go to iTunes Store > Log out of existing account > Change to the UK store > Find Spotify (or any free app) > Click “Free” to buy > Plot in new email and pass > Click “Continue” > You have the “None”-option.

I think it’s a way for parents to create an account for their children where they can download any free app they want, but not paid ones.

Ofcourse I just didn’t pay attention to step 2, also see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
