i got the same experienced with you, what you have to do is create a new account.

first make sure you aren't logging in with your old account and then browse what free apps you wanna download and then you will be ask to create a new account, choose the payment method with ("none") and continue the procedural.

hope this can help.

Just be careful with deleting an account. If you purchased any items for iTunes/App store with that account you will not be able to update or transfer them to a computer since purchases are locked to the account that purchased them.

How do I delete an Apple ID? And if I want something else that is free do I have to make another ID for every free app?
