free apps on blackberry app world

[queenzzgal]

I tried to redo all the apps I lost when my phone had a breakdown .  When I try to download mobile banking (BOA) , which is free, I am asked for a blackberry email password.  I registered and now it wants my paypal info?  I don't remember this when I setup originally.  Why is it asking for payment info for a free app?  This is the most frustrating phone!

Hi,

Make sure you have the latest version of Blackberry App World, which is 2.0.1.12.  You will be asked to set up a Blackberry ID, if you have not made one as of yet.  From there, you can set up a credit card, Paypal, or Debit card.  It is secure and it is stored in case you buy an app.  You still have to have a BB ID in order to download free apps.  All of the application storefronts like App World and even Apple's iTunes require you to register.  Hope this helps,

Doc

I downloaded a free app this past weekend and I didn't think I had to provide Pay Pal info. I just left it blank and continued.
