Hello everyone! You have to pay for everything :) Including for games, applications, ringtones, in general, for all the content that you download to your iOS device. No, of course, it's free to download games and applications, take, for example, the same one. However, in my opinion, it is more correct to support the developer and purchase the program or game you like.
How does it usually happen? You link a plastic card to your Apple ID account and money for purchases is debited from it. But what if there is no credit card? Or you just don't want to "shine" your plastic? Apple has a solution! After all, there are alternative ways to pay for a purchase in iTunes and the App Store without using a bank card.
Today we will talk about them - let's go!
iTunes Gift Card - buy games and applications without a credit card
In fact, this is a regular card that can be purchased in many stores or ordered online. For example, in the application of the Savings Bank, there is definitely such an opportunity. By the way, there is no great need for the card itself, you need a code that, as it were, replenishes your virtual balance in the App Store and iTunes. And already money is debited from him for purchases, and not from a plastic card.
Important! In case of "physical purchase", the code is written not on the Gift Card itself, but on the cashier's receipt. Don't lose it.
Disadvantages of this solution:
- Fixed denomination - at least 500 rubles, then 1000 rubles, etc. It is very inconvenient if you need to buy an application or a game that costs 19 rubles. The rest will lie and wait in the wings.
- You can buy it far from everywhere.
- In some places, it is sold with a surcharge, which depends on the impudence of the seller.
- Can be used as a gift.
- Some impersonal payments - no one asks for your data.
Payment in the App Store and iTunes from a mobile phone bill
Now this is more interesting! Indeed, recently in Russia it became possible to make purchases in the App Store and iTunes using your regular mobile account. At the moment, only Beeline provides such joy. But if you are a subscriber of another mobile operator, you do not need to be intimidated and change the service provider, because the SIM card does not have to be in the phone.
How to start paying for games and applications for iPhone and iPad from a personal account of a Beeline number? You need to change the billing information for your Apple ID account (if you don't have one, then).
And that's it! You can safely start buying games and applications, without any credit cards and other misunderstandings :). Payment will be debited from the SIM card.
What is important to remember and know:
- The SIM card does not have to be in the iPhone or iPad.
- The starting balance is also amenable to spending, that is, having bought a SIM card with a balance, there is no need to replenish it immediately.
- There are no commissions!
Comfortable? In my opinion, very much even.
There are a lot of advantages of such a solution - this is the ability to replenish with a fixed amount (exactly the one that is needed for the purchase) and the relative security of payments (there is no point in "shining" a bank card), and the ease of payment. There is only one minus in my opinion - at the time of purchasing a game or application, this SIM card must still be installed in any device, since an SMS with a confirmation code comes to it.
Updated! Since November 2016, Megafon subscribers also have the opportunity to pay for games and applications in the App Store using their SIM card balance. How to do it? In the same way as for Beeline. The instruction is a little higher :)
P.S. We put Beeline and Megafon "plus" for such an excellent opportunity, the rest - "fail". Do you agree? Click on the social media buttons (below the article)!
