Local App Store issue

[HaukSwe]

I bank with HSBC in Hong Kong and they've got an iPhone app which I can "simply download from the Hong Kong app store",

However my App store is Swedish and I can't change it to HK, because I lack payment method for anything but Sweden. (Fuck you Apple). The fact that I've got a Chinese iPhone with Chinese contract, no youtube (it's banned) and can only have the Swedish app store is quite funny..


(Live in China where they don't issue visa/mastercards to foreign nationals and can't get a HK one without employer and address, only bank acc and EMS...).

There's a simple trick to getting an itunes account without providing payment information...

1. Open iTunes and log out of your current account
2. Change the App Store to Hong Kong
3. Browse through the free apps and buy one of them
4. When it asks you for iTunes login/password, just create a new account
5. And that's pretty much it... you can skip the payment section during this process.
