Note that unless you get your hands on a credit card or gift card for that country’s App Store, you will only be able to download free games, and you will not be able to buy in-app purchases, even if you log in to your home country’s App Store account. The store will automatically switch to New Zealand from your home country’s account, and switch back upon logging back in. The app should start downloading on iTunes, or you can now log in to this account on your iOS device. Apple will ask you to verify the account by sending you an email. For example: still goes to Otherwise, go through the process to register an account, using the info from the fake name generator. This will still send it to the same base email but will work separately in iTunes. Start to download it, and when the dialog to sign in pops up, click Create Apple ID.įor your email address, I recommend putting something like “+nz” after the name but before the if you use Gmail. So, search for the app you want to download, like, say Real Racing 3. Now, the easiest way to create an Apple ID without entering payment information is to start to download the app, as just going through the standard iTunes account creation process will require the input of payment info. This will switch you to the New Zealand App Store. Scroll to Asia Pacific and choose New Zealand. This opens up a screen to pick a new country. Now scroll to the bottom and to the right, and click your country’s flag in the bottom-right corner.
Go to the iTunes Store, click the Home icon on the top sidebar. Choose your country to generate a name and address – I recommend New Zealand for this example, as they also get App Store games first on release day as they are close to the international date line. I use, which generates fake names and addresses in order to create a convincing identity.
But there is a way to become an honorary member of another country to get their free apps (at least in iTunes), and I’m going to tell you how.įirst, let’s build a fake identity. So, you want to play Real Racing 3 but are cursing your parents that you weren’t born an Aussie or Kiwi? Why do they get the game first, anyway? Well, developers often release free-to-play games early in countries like these in order to let a small segment of the global public get their hands on it, allowing them to tweak things like gameplay and IAP costs, as well as testing a game’s technical backend, before its worldwide release.
