To expand on EmmEff answer, we do this in South AFrica quite often.
- Register a US account using a valid US Address (The US Yellow Pages Helps)
- Do not register a credit card
- Download free apps, books, music etc.
- Purchase US iTunes gift cards online and load onto account
- Buy software, books and music.
Please note, South Africa has a severely restricted App Store, and we cannot purchase games, music or books any other way, and due to legal issues with classification of items, will most likely never be able too
In iTunes, go to the iTunes Store tab, and click on your account in the top right corner, as shown.
After typing your password, you will see this page. Click 'Change Country or Region', and change it. All done!
Note: if you have any iTunes Store credit, you will have to spend all of it before it lets you switch countries.
