You can't use iCloud to expland the storage space on your phone. iCloud will sync data to your other devices, but will not allow you to transfer data from your phone to iCloud to free up space. The only exception to this is music if you subscribe to iTunes Match. If you did, your music library could be accessed through iCloud rather than having to store it all on your phone (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).


To free up space on your phone you'll have to delete or sync data off your phone.


If you purchased the extra space in the last 15 days thinking it would free up space on your phone, you can contact the Apple online store at the number on the bottom of this page for a refund.
