The phone credit or the phone's credit?
Hello everyone, I have a doubt about these sentences:
a) I recharged the phone credit
b) I recharged the phone's credit
I thought that b) was the correct way of saying it, but I have seen in some webs the first sentence as well. Would anyone mind explaining to me which one is correct and why? Thank you for your time.

Thank you very much for your help.
There is still something I don't understand.
In that example sentence you wrote, "I added funds to my cell phone account", why is it not: "I added funds to my cell phone's account"?

Sig"I added funds to my cell phone account", why is it not: "I added funds to my cell phone's account"?Because the account is yours, not your phone's.

I adjusted my girl friend's necklace.
The necklace belongs to your girl friend.
