iTunes Match only works on wifi

iTunes Match on iPhone 5 iOS 6 works perfectly well web I am on a wifi network. However when I leave that network or turn off wifi, I get a notification saying I'm not subscribed to iTunes Match, will skip through all the songs on that are currently in the queue and then disable ITunes Match from my phone. Once I turn back on wifi, or get back to a wifi area I can reenable iTunes Match and it works perfectly again. Today has been quite a weird day for iTunes Match. This was not an issue yesterday.

Have you enabled your phone to use Cellular Data for iTunes Match? If not it will only work on WiFi.

The other possibility that I read is that there is a weird glitch in Apple's Terms and Service which changed recently. Apparently until you accept the new T&C the iTunes Match will skip on cellular. Annoyingly it seams the only way to get the new T&Cs to show for you to accept them is to go buy a new song.
