You'll need to use WiFi. If you don't have it at home, perhaps you can get it at a cafe.

I'm still wondering why they don't allow downloading big apps over Cellular network. For example, I have unlimited data, but cant use it for downloading big apps or updates. Does anyone know what is the reason behind this decision?

There is no logical reason I guess why they restrict download even on unlimited data, but if you want to download app the workaround is download the XAP/APPC files through UC browser.

I hope they remove this restriction in Windows 10. It's really non sens to have it nowadays, when we have big (or unlimited) data plans.

if you are really desperate to use cellular only , then you can put this SIM in another phone and turn on the wifi hotspot thing . :grin:

I kind of do not agree that this restriction has no sense. But I agree that there should be an option.
For reliable downloading of big games or OS updates you need a stable and relative fast connection otherwise it will take too much time to download it and or the downloading fails due to bad connection. So if "unrestricted" downloading of big games or updates was allowed and due to a slow/unstable connection this failed all the time then I already know that people start blaming the phone but in reality it's the connection.

Yeah, maybe an option would be better. But they should allow us to download over cellular data. Option could be turned off at default, but allow users to decide. But not just updates and games, I would (even more) like to see option to automatically upload pictures at full size over cellular data, not just WiFi.
For example, in out country, almost everywhere is 3G signal. And LTE is reaching more and more people very fast. So, that option would be logical here. But I know, not every country has that privilege of having fast mobile connection almost everywhere.
