I am trying to create an Apple ID for my 10-year-old son. However, I do not have a Credit Card, only a Debit Card. I'm using the iCloud 'Family' setting, but it says 'Credit Card Required'. I guess this is because, legally, someone under 18 may have a Debit Card, but you must be 18 to have a Credit Card. How can I bypass this? I'm using an iPhone 4S, running the latest iOS update (I updated today). What should I do?

- Sign out.
- Search for any free app.
- Select "Get" and "Install App".
- You should see screen, that you need to log in to download. Select "Create New Apple ID".
- You should see "None" option when selecting payment method.
- Activate Apple ID and you have created new Apple ID for your son.
Then just sign out from son's Apple ID and log in to yours.
