I changed my iPhone's Apple ID region to Canada because I wanted to download a game that was only available to that Store, it never asked me fot a credit card to go to the Canada region but now I want to change to the US region but it doesn't let me because It asks me for a credit card which I don't have. Thanks in Advance!
iPhone 6, iOS 9
After you make that type of change, you must validate yourself by providing a current credit card. After validating, you can change to none for your payment method. Changing your region is not the same.
This is done to prevent exactly what you may be trying to do. No suggestion on my part that your situation is not legitimate or valid. I am surprised you were not challenged the same way when you switched to Canada.
In iTunes world, your country of residence must match the billing address country on your payment method. And your actual address must match the actual address of your payment method. So if you do not have a US address, credit card and the addresses do not match, you can't change your country.
Sadly the amount of fraud these days compels online services to take these types of measures to keep on top of it.
You may have to call Apple Support for their help, as they have features not available to you on your own.
that's something I didn't know, the app that I downloaded was Clash Royale it was only available for Canada at that moment but a couple of days later they launched it worldwide.
I was planning to do that but I need to change my region first
You may have backed yourself in to a corner that only Apple Support can help you with.
Legalities aside, the situation should be fixable.
Thanks for all the replies, I will talk to him
He will be proud of you for taking the initiative to offer him the solution (I hope... I would be!)
Which app were you trying to download?
My friend how you fix this because i have the same problem :(
