    No.

    You cannot use gift card/gift certificate credit to purchase gift card/gift certificates.

    No, you can only pay with debit/credit card, iTunes Gift Card/Certificate, PayPal (in US) to purchase App's in the App Store.

    So that means no buying the actual card online? Not just apps in app store?

    You can only use the money in your account to buy Apps/TV episodes/Movies. Not other cards.

    Which types of items can I buy in my country?

    You are not making sense.

    If you have a positive balance on your account, you use it to purchase items (movies, songs, apps) from the iTunes store.

    You cannot use a balance on your iTunes account to purchase gift cards or gift certificates.

    I'm asking if I can use the credit I have on my phone

    What "credit" do you have on your iPhone? Where do you see this "credit"?

    Do you mean you have a prepaid iPhone (you buy a card and it applies a balance of minutes for you to use to talk)?

    If so, that has nothing to do wtih iTunes or Apple.

    This money is not in my account I'm asking if I can put it in my account

    Where is this "account"? What is its purpose?

    To be clear, no you cannot.

    You can add a debit/credit card to your account and use it to make purchases but you can't add $20 to your iTunes account.

    That is what I was trying to say: You can add a dedit/credit card to your account, not use credit/debit card to put money in. Sorry for confusion.

     

    Time to see about getting a new pair of glasses

    You are not listening to me! I don't have any money on my iTunes account, I am wanting to purchase a gift card and all I am asking is if apple is like other sites where you can buy whatever money they use on that site with money that is on your phone.

    I am. You are not explaining yourself very well.

    If you want to purchase an iTunes gift card thru iTunes, you need to add a credit card, This is the only way you can purchase a gift card thru iTunes. You cannot use "money that is on your phone", whatever this means.


    with money that is on your phone.

    I don't know what this means.

    Do you have an iPhone?

    How do you have "money on your phone"?

    What kind of account with money is this on the phone?

    I'm being perfectly clear by the way. Money on my phone refers to the credit that is on my prepaid phone.

    No your are not, by the way.

    I already answered this (as a guess since you were very unclear).

    "Do you mean you have a prepaid iPhone (you buy a card and it applies a balance of minutes for you to use to talk)?

    If so, that has nothing to do with iTunes or Apple."

     

    That is not "money" you can simply use anywhere you want. You have given that money to your cell provider for talk/data minutes.
