Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello!
I've already registered an apple id but can't activate it without a credit card. What can I do? I need to login within an iphone.
You must be joking! Why the **** should I pay them to use an iPhone I already bought? I don't wanna buy apps, I just wanna install free apps. There's a known hack, but it needs to create new account. Where's a normal, ordinary way to activate account without a bank card or a gift card?!
Buy and use a iTunes gift card if you do not want to use your credit card.
You don't have to 'pay' them anything. You can activate an account without a credit card. Read the link you were provided.

Read the article that both James & Amish provided. You don't have to use a credit card or any type of payment method for free apps.

There was no solution given!
I get to "Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card" and there is no info at all!
"If you have registered your product or used any Apple services, you should follow this article to use an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store."
And in this article there's no info on how to use account without adding a credit card!
As I understand, there's no way to use an account without credit card, if it wasn't created in special way, don't I right?

No, you're wrong. You can choose 'None' as a payment option even on an existing Apple ID, as long as there is no outstanding balance in your current iTunes account.
Click on the part in that article that says: updating your iTunes Store account information.
On that article, you'll see how to change your payment information to 'None', and what to do if None isn't showing or you can't select it.
Read the entire articles that we recommend. Don't just skim through it and make assumptions.
