In iTunes, find the account information menu. There you select the appropriate item.
Log in with your Apple ID and password.

Now you can make purchases in the App Store, and the money will be debited from your mobile account.
How does it work and what is it for?
Purchases work like this: first, the amount will be debited from the App Store account (I had 2.34 left there), and then the remaining amount for the purchase (in this case, 12.66). In the future, everything will be debited from the phone account. You will receive an SMS notification about each purchase.
This payment method is convenient for parents if they do not want to set up family access or make bank card to kid.
Those who do not want to “shine” and link their bank card to Apple ID can also rejoice.
Personally, this method is convenient for me because I top up my phone balance using WebMoney and try to make all online purchases through this payment system. This is not an advertisement. I hate WebMoney, but I have to work with this system. Therefore, why not make this fact a plus for yourself.
Thank you all for your attention!
Let's consider the question of how to top up your account in the App Store service in order to be able to buy the games you like. Here you can buy the application by linking a bank card to your account. However, this opportunity is not always available. After all, the account provides the opportunity to make purchases only with cards issued in the USA. However, there are other ways.
Immediately take note of How to get your App Store money back.
Buying Apple gift cards
This is the most basic way. For money you will get plastic card which can be used as a gift. Cards of different denominations differ in color and pattern. After purchase, the card can be activated in any account. Please note that the code is not indicated on the card, but on the receipt when purchasing the card. You must also give the card with a receipt, or rewrite the 16-digit code.
We use a bank card
Paying for the code using a payment bank card is also easy. The card must be temporarily linked to your personal account in the App Store.
After linking the card, go to the App Store application, go to the “Selection” tab and click on “Gifts”. Here you need to enter your email address, select gifts and pay for the purchase. The code will be sent by email.
We use Yandex.Money
You can also safely use payment systems such as QIWI and Yandex.Money to receive the code. To do this, you need to launch the Yandex.Money application and go to “ Code for App Store" After clicking on required section A window will open to indicate the phone number and the amount from 500 to 15,000 rubles. After entering the amount, click “Pay” and enter the account payment password. The code will be sent by SMS message. It is entered in the same way as gift card.
The remaining balance after redeeming the code will be displayed in the App Store next to your account Apple recording ID (Selection menu).
Now your phone number is enough to pay for your favorite album, movie, application or game.
So far, Apple works only with two Russian mobile operators - Beeline and MegaFon.
Beeline became one of the first operators to connect mobile billing to pay for purchases in iTunes, App Store, Apple Music and iBooks - previously this service was available only to subscribers of the German operator O2. Since October 2015, they have been able to select a phone number as their preferred payment method. If this was done, future invoices would come from mobile operator— both for subscribers who have signed a 2-year contract for communication services, and for prepaid users.
Megafon users were able to connect payment from their mobile phone account on November 3, 2016.
Now, when setting up their Apple ID, Beeline and MegaFon subscribers can link payment to their mobile phone number. There is no longer any need to enter payment card details.
You can change your payment method along the way Settings -> iTunes Store, App Store:
Here you need to select a payment method Mobile phone, below enter the Beeline or MegaFon phone number, and then enter the code received via SMS.
The service is available to all Russian clients of Beeline and MegaFon within the framework of postpaid and prepaid tariff plans. Make purchases from the Apple Store, iTunes Store, Apple Music, etc. can be done from all devices associated with the Apple ID for which the service has been activated.
Does it work for you to pay for purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store through a phone number in Beeline and MegaFon, friends?
