Clear Space on the iPhone:

If storage is pretty full, then try emptying some of it. Many system resources may be being used by unnecessary items. So, you need more internal storage space. Consider performing the following...


A. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.

Also..


B. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:


C. Clear "Other":

Clear the storages named "Other". It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tip

No you cannot buy more storage space for the phone. It will always have the amount of storage it came with. the only way to get more space is to delete photos, messages, apps, etc.. Be sure to save important photos and data to your computer or external drive. Be sure to read the link in blue which you have already found.
