Can I buy apps using my debit card?

Hi,
My post is duplicate of this post.
I am trying to buy some apps through app world. I have paypal account but whenever I try to buy something. I am getting this error:
your transaction was not processed. Please try your purchase again. (Error Id: 30261)
I found this post which explains how to solve to above error. I will try this later because I have something to say in this post.
what I am trying to ask in this post is why can't I purchase apps using my Debit card? I can see only two options which are Credit card and Paypal. That is honestly very limited options for a world wide device managing company like Blackberry.
I live in India and honestly there are many features of Blackberry  that make me say WTF..?
I will list out some of those WTF features  here:
Low Battery life (1230 mAh) - Honestly, making the mobile somewhat thicker to have a good battery life would have been better.
Can't use my Network providing internet, which is cheap, on my Mobile.
Even if I have BIS, I can't access that internet to my laptop. I need to have additional network internet also.
Only two options to purchase any app i.e credit card or paypal. what for the users who don't have those two? (if you guys are planning to have your customers just rich fellows then don't launch in middle class people's market).
Man, I am really **bleep** off.. I don't even know whom to say this.. my friends just listen and laugh.
Please just tell me whether I can purchase from debit card or not?
PS: Apart from the above WTF features, I love my BB torch 9860 because of its design and ofcourse motion sensor. Many times it runs out of battery and I just see that blank displayed mobile to feel the beautiful design. (Expecting an update soon to fix the battery life bug)
Solved!

Payment for app purchases is based on many factors, very few of them controlled by BlackBerry. If BlackBerry had its way, you'd be able to walk into your local corner store and purchase an app with cash. Many factors, including government restrictions, decide how you can pay.
As an example, here in Canada I can put an app purchase right on my monthly cell bill with my carrier, Rogers. That's because BlackBerry offers that service in Canada, it's approved by the government and Rogers supports it. As I said, if BlackBerry could do that for every carrier in the world, it would.
I hope that clarifies things for you.

  • Why can't I just use my debit card for adding my child to family share?!

    I want to use my child on family share but can't because I don't need or want a credit card, my bank has fraud protection, who actually just called me about fraud because I purchased the newest iPhone! I don't like credit cards. Why can't I just use my debit card as usual? Kids can get credit cards just as easily as they can debit cards! This is ridiculous. Why isn't there another option to verify I am the parent?! I am so beyond angry right now. Like I am being punished for not owning a credit card!! Otherwise there will be another way to do this. A person should have the freedom to use their chosen form of payment without missing out on all the options available. Honestly even if I wanted a credit card I haven't enough credit because of past mistakes. So this is not making me happy at all.

    Mad Parent,
    I feel your pain. We refuse to have credit cards, too; yet it's required in order to create a child's apple id. I will most definitely be leaving feedback with Apple. This is absolutely ridiculous that we can't just use our debit cards! Mine is a VISA. I use it to make CREDIT CARD transactions everywhere else, why not be able to use it the same way here!?
    I just had to restore my sons phone because he forgot his 4-digit password and got it disabled. I didn't have it already on my itunes so my only option was to restore it. I wanted to create his own apple id so he didn't have to keep using mine. Because every time he downloads a new game it automatically ends up on MY device as well, not just his. Anyway, he needs his own apple id. But, apparently, that won't be happening until Apple gets their heads out of their butts and figures out how to serve ALL of their customers!
    Signed,
    Equally Mad Parent

    Hi I'm Nkosazana. I'm trying to buy apps such as whatsapp. Apparently I can't use my debit card but I don't have a credit card, what do I do?

    In most cases, you can't use debit cards with iTunes anymore. So, either get an itunes gift card or a credit card.

  • When will the Indian App Store be updated to Indian RBI Guidelines, because in India many of the users are unable to buy apps from Indian Debit Cards.

    Most of the users are unable to buy apps from Indian App Store. Pl. fix it

    We are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if/when other payment cards might be added to the Indian iTunes store until if/when Apple announce something. Based on what some people have posted some Indian debit cards are still accepted e.g. Re: can i download from itunes using debit card in india ?.

  • How can I buy apps using an iTunes gift card

    I redeemed my gift card in iTunes, I have a credit value, yet when I purchased an app through App Store, the balance did not come of off the gift card value, how do I ensure that all purchases are made using the giftcard?

    This works for me in the UK, I would assume it should elsewhere too.

    I had the same error when trying to update my apps on my ipod touch. I tried to input my security code numerous times to no avail. I also made sure my billing address was the same as what my bank had on file. To fix the issue I went into iTunes, logged onto the iTunes store, went to account settings and reviewed my recent purchases. Turned out that I had made a recent purchase and didn't have enough money left on my credit card to pay for it at the time. I paid off the credit card, and then input my security code once more and now it works fine. I've heard that some debit or pay as you go credit cards require a minimum balance, so make sure you have at least that amount in your account.

  • Can you use a debit card to purchase and download apps or does it have to be a credit card

    can i use a debit mastercard to download apps or does it have to be a credit card? I used my debit card to buy and download afew apps but now i cant even download free apps without being asked for my billing info and when i enter the info it says it is incorrect when it isnt.

    I think it has to do with the way that you order thru ATT. When you order, they put a hold on your account for the purchase amount. In 3-5 days( for PNC) when PNC doesn't see the purchase go thru, they release the funds. ATT will take the money when your phone ships. If you go to the Apple store, they don't take a deposit. They put your name on the priority list and you only give your card when you pick your phone up.
