IPhone 4S asking for billing info on a free app?

I've been using apple products for about 3-4 years now and whenever i've selected to download a FREE app it has never asked for billing info, until now. I found it strange but thought it was just to clear a problem up it said I had with my info. So I entered all of my info and then said it was declined? As if I was actually paying for something. The game is usually payed for but is free for a limited amount of time.

I had the same problem you're not alone. Email Apple ID, give them your details and they can usually sort it with a week.

  • Why does the App Store want to know my billing information if the app is free? On my iPhone 4s, I try to download an app from the app store, first it'll ask for my password which is normal, and I put it all in correct but then it'll redirect me to my billing information/payment method and ask me to fill it out. I can't remember what my prepaid security number is because I haven't had it in so long so I can't do it. But the apps I try to download are completely free so I don't understand why this would happen. Is there anyway to fix this?
  • Why do i need billing information on iphone app store? So the other day i bought an app with my moms credit card and it went through fine but now i can't downlod any free apps it pops up red and says enter billing info, but its free? Befor i bought the app i could always doenload free stuff without doing that?
  • Which is more accurate regarding the details of an iphone, iphoneimei.info or imei.info? When I look up the IMEI of my broken iphone 5s on iphoneimei.info it says it's 16gb and when I look it up on imei.info it says it's 32gb… Which site is more accurate? The iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not power on unless connected and it won't tell me the storage capacity in itunes.
  • My Iphone keeps asking me to verify payment on a free app? I downloaded the facebook app on my phone with no problem but when I try to download Twitter onto my phone it keeps saying "press continue to verify payment" and when I press continue nothing happens… its the free twitter app so I don't know why its even asking for something like this…
