Why isn't my AppStore letting me download free apps?

My iPhone isn't letting me download FREE APPS. It keeps saying my payment method has been declined. Which is really aggravating because who knew you needed a payment method to get FREE APPS; right?

If you did not create your Apple ID in the method to do without a credit card, then you need to add a credit card to your account. That is how Apple verifies your identity. If there is no payment method entered, you cannot even download free apps, as your account is not complete. If you don't have a method entered, you will have to do that. If you do and it is out of date, you will need to update it. Or, you can purchase an iTunes card somewhere and load that.
