Hi. I have a brand new IPad Air cellular + wifi with 128 gb. I also have an unlimited 3G connectivity. But the stupid 100 mb limit has made my life very difficult. Please suggest some ways to download files larger than 100mb without wifi. I am located in India and I have confirmed from my telecom service provider that there is no maximum limit on downloads.
iPad Air Wi-Fi, Cellular, iOS 7.1
Thanks for the tip ! It worked nice and easy on my iPad.
Thanks a lot mate. you are a lifesaver.
DFTBA.
You are great, you are awesome, you are The Lord Apple Hacker and i will be your loyal folower for centuries. Thank you
Thanks Diggbuzz. Can confirm this still works on 9.3.5
its not an awful lot of work whatsoever. You turn off the phone and turn it on again. Really not a big deal.
Well, some people have unlimited data. And I believe you should be able to uncap that 100MB Restriction.

Tell Apple:

While some people have unlimited data, cellular networks do NOT have unlimited data. Most of them operate pretty close to maximum capacity most of the time (that's why sometimes you can't get a connection). So picture 100 million phone owners updating iOS at the same time, which frequently happens when an update is announced. If that all happened over cellular networks most networks would crash and no one would have cellular service. That's the reason for the limit, which is a requirement placed on Apple by the carriers; it isn't Apple's idea (FWIW, 5 years ago the limit was 20 MB). For an explanation of public good vs limited resources Google "The Tragedy of the Commons," which is the title of an essay written almost 200 years ago, and still applies today.
Fascinating but sadly not surprising.
I think Einstein brought that up a while ago.
I didn't know that. I'm just going on twenty years of retail experience.
God, then why they (the carriers, that you are blaming here) did not forced any other company to place the same limit?
Every smartphone has the same or similar limit.
Not exactly. You can alter the limits on other smartphones.
In iPhone/iPad or any other iOS device, you simply can't. For god's sake stop blaming others for how apple has implemented it.
Then, if this matters to you, use one of them
