IPhone billing problem with previous purchase?

I recently tried to download a free app but my iPhone keeps bringing up that my payment method has been declined and to enter another, I have purchased apps before and have downloaded fine. It now tells me to fix the problem in my purchase history but how do I do this? Iv been through it all and everything seems fine. This is so annoying because it won't even let me update any of the apps I have, anyone else had this problem? Or know how to fix it?

I would just sign on and re-enter your credit card, it should then be fine.

I don't want to put a caret card or debit card

I don't have caret or debet take that teacher off my phone thank you

I use a pre paid if I have to

Whenever I try re entering my debit card number (which is completely drained), it declines it

  • Why do i need billing information on iphone app store? So the other day i bought an app with my moms credit card and it went through fine but now i can't downlod any free apps it pops up red and says enter billing info, but its free? Befor i bought the app i could always doenload free stuff without doing that?
  • Purchasing via iPhone and billing to my provider? I don't want to add credit card information to my phone or any of that junk, I want to buy in app purchases on my phone and have the bill come in added to my phone bill. See? How does that work? Ps I use at and t Cingular
  • My Iphone keeps saying 'there's a billing problem from a previous purchase'? And it won't let me download free apps. And I have no money in my account (monthly pay lol) to put the details in and purchase whatever it was I was meant to have purchased, so when i add the details and press continue, it says there was a problem purchasing and then I'm back to square one.
  • IPhone 4S asking for billing info on a free app? I've been using apple products for about 3-4 years now and whenever i've selected to download a FREE app it has never asked for billing info, until now. I found it strange but thought it was just to clear a problem up it said I had with my info. So I entered all of my info and then said it was declined? As if I was actually paying for something. The game is usually payed for but is free for a limited amount of time.
