Hi,
If this is indeed the case, wouldn’t just having $1 on what ever method of
payment your using gain access to all the stuff you said you were being denied
access to? If this is so, I don’t see how having $1 on a form of payment is
unreasonable. I figure if this is your last dollar to your name, you probably
have way bigger issues than getting free apps for your iPhone.
JMO.
