If you thought buying more space in iCloud would increase the available space on your iPhone, it won't. The Storage Full messages you're seeing are likely telling you you are out of space on your iPhone. It doesn't matter how much iCloud storage you buy, the memory on iPhone can never be made larger. If you are out of space on your iPhone itself, you'll have to delete things you don't need or use, such as photos, apps, mail, messages, files, music, etc.
