Recurring subscription with free trial period

I have only one product, it is a service that is a recurring subscription and I want to offer a free 30 day trial.

If I set my product with a $10 price and associate it with a Profile recurring amount of $10 with $0 for 30 days, when I add this to the cart it will charge $10. But I don't want to charge $10 since it is a free 30 days trial.

I tried to set the product to $0 hoping that the recurring $10 with $0 for 30 days would solve my issue but when I do this, I am getting the message "No payment options" during checkout. In other words it will not checkout with $0

Is there a way to do this?

Just to add info to my post, I have "Free Checkout" enabled in the Payment options, I did have "Cash On Delivery" with a minimum of 0.01 but I changed it to 0 and i also tried disabling "Cash On Delivery" so as it is now my only enabled payment option is "Free Checkout".

Should anyone run into the same issue, it appears I need to use Paypal Express Checkout to make this work.
