However you need an American credit card to sign up for it, and thats the key part of the puzzle I'm missing...

I was reading about people managing to sign up using some pre-paid credit card 'trick'... so I was wondering if anyone had managed it, and had any recommendations for how to go about it?


I've found a few sites on the net that tell you have to get a free trial, and/other dodgy-ness...
