Possible problems and solutions
Common Problems when paying for the App Store and help in solving them:
- Can't choose mobile phone in payment methods. The reason may be that this carrier is not supported. You need to select the number of Megafon, Beeline or MTS.
- Unable to pay by credit card. If you are trying to fund a US account, you need a US-issued credit card. A Russian card can only be linked to a Russian account.
- I received a message about a problem with the payment of a previous purchase. This means that there is an unpaid balance. You need to go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad, or iTunes on your iMac or Windows computer to change your billing information. After updating the payment method, the money will be debited automatically.
If you cannot solve the problem yourself, you can write to technical support: support.apple.com.
There are many free apps in the App Store, but many games, movies, and music have to be purchased with money. You can replenish the balance for making purchases using gift certificates, from a phone account, from a credit card. After that, you can choose the content you like, and payment will occur automatically.
Hello! You have to pay for everything :) Including games, applications, ringtones, in general, for all the content that you download to your iOS device. No, of course, download games and applications for free, take, for example, the same . However, in my opinion, it is more correct to support the developer and purchase the program or game you like.
How does it usually happen? You link a plastic card to your Apple ID account and money for purchases is debited from it. What if there is no credit card? Or just do not want to "shine" your plastic? Apple has a solution! After all, there are alternative ways to pay for a purchase in iTunes and the App Store without using a bank card.
We will talk about them today - let's go!
iTunes Gift Card - buy games and applications without a credit card
In fact, this is a regular card that can be purchased at many stores or ordered online. For example, in the Sberbank application, there is definitely such an opportunity. By the way, there is no great need for the card itself, you need a code that, as it were, replenishes your virtual balance in the App Store and iTunes. And already money for purchases is debited from him, and not from a plastic card.
Important! With a "physical purchase", the code is not written on the Gift Card itself, but on cash receipt. Don't lose it.
Disadvantages of this solution:
- Fixed denomination - at least 500 rubles, then 1000 rubles, etc. It is very inconvenient if you need to buy an application or a game worth 19 rubles. The rest will lie and wait in the wings.
- You can't buy it everywhere.
- In some places, it is sold at a premium, which depends on the impudence of the seller.
- Can be used as a gift.
- Some anonymity of payments - no one asks for your data.
Paying in the App Store and iTunes with a mobile phone account
Now that's more interesting! Indeed, recently in Russia it became possible to make purchases in the App Store and iTunes using your regular mobile account. On the this moment, only Beeline provides such joy. But if you are a subscriber of another mobile operator, you do not need to be afraid and change the service provider, because the SIM card does not have to be in the phone.
How to start paying for games and applications for iPhone and iPad from a personal account of a Beeline number? You need to change your billing information account Apple ID (if you don't have one, then).
And that's it! You can safely start buying games and applications, without any credit cards and other misunderstandings :). Payment will be deducted from the SIM card.
What is important to remember and know:
- The SIM card does not have to be in the iPhone or iPad.
- The starting balance is also amenable to spending, that is, having bought a SIM card with a balance, there is no need to replenish it immediately.
- There are no commissions!
Conveniently? In my opinion, very much so.
There are a lot of advantages of such a solution - this is the ability to replenish fixed amount(exactly the one that is needed for the purchase) and the relative security of payments (it makes no sense to “shine” a bank card), and ease of payment. In my opinion, there is only one minus - at the time of purchasing the game or application, this SIM card must still be installed in any device, since it receives an SMS with a confirmation code.
Updated! Since November 2016, Megafon subscribers also have the opportunity to pay for games and applications in the App Store using the SIM card balance. How to do it? Exactly the same as for Beeline. The instructions are a little higher :)
P.S. We put Beeline and Megafon "plus" for such excellent opportunity, the rest - "failure". Do you agree? Click on the buttons social networks(below the article)!
