See if mobile billing is available where you live. Refer to this support article --> Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple Support
Incidentally, Apple has a number of scenarios where if you can't use mobile billing then you may need a credit or debit card instead. However, it may be only for those situations. I download free (and only free) apps and I have never entered a credit or debit card in my account. I don't even have account balance.

Not any thing.
You may need to have a valid payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.
You can have a credit card / debit card on file and an Apple Account balance.
If you have set your Apple Account balance as your default payment method, your default payment method will be used first by Apple when you need to make a payment.
👉 Some purchases might require you to have a credit card on file, even if you use your Apple Account balance to make the purchase.

If you don't have a credit card or don't want to use a credit card, you can also use your Apple Account balance as payment method.

When redeeming a gift card, the amount will be credited to your (1) Apple Account balance and (2) you need to set your Apple Account balance as your default payment.

If you already use your Apple Account balance, the Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card is automatically added to your Apple Account balance.
If you update your payment method or add funds to your Apple Account balance, It would take about 1 to 3 business days in order to process.
If you're still unable to update your payment method, Contact Apple Support.

fyi: Not all credit & debit cards seem to work with App Store / iTunes Store, try a different one, or preferably a credit card. If your card is not accepted as a paymenf method, you need to contact your bank.
