You are welcome. While you can only change the App Store/iTunes Store that you use every 90 days, you can change the region the App Store/iTunes is set to using only the Apple ID you have. Even if you created a new ID, you still can only change every 90 days, so having another ID won't help much.


You need a zero account balance and you need to cancel all your subscriptions. If you have cancelled all subscriptions, but some haven’t expired, contact iTunes Support. You need a valid credit card issued by a bank in the country the store is in and you need a billing address in that country. If you have an account balance, either buy something more expensive and pay the balance with a credit card or contact iTunes Support and ask them to zero balance your account.


Purchases - View, change, or cancel your subscriptions.        


Purchases - Subscriptions not billed through Apple     


Region - Change your iTunes Store, iBooks Store, or App Store country or region.     


If necessary, contact iTunes Support. Follow through the screens to get a chat or telephone option.

Thank you very much Eric. I need a UK Apple ID because I live in London now and there are a bunch of apps that you can only get from the UK AppStore (practical stuff).


So I guess you suggest to create a new Apple ID in the UK and then swap from the one to the other, correct?


How do I do that? Do I just delete the one that shows up in the settings and put it back on when I need it?
