Is it possible to update windows phone 8.1 through 3G mobile network

I want to update my lumia 525 to Windows Phone 8.1 but the problem is that there is no wifi network with me so is there any method to download it over 3G mobile network. How much time will it take to update. Guyzzz please help

You can use another phone as your wifi hotspot if you have one available. That's the only way to do it.

It's not a small update but I can't remember how big it was so it will take some time and preferably a good connection the whole time otherwise you'll have to start again.

Yes you can update over mobile data. It depends on you data package as it may eat your allowance. It asks if you want to update over 3g or wait for WiFi.

No it doesn't asks to use 3g it only shows message the "connect to WiFi to download this update"

Your contacts are synchronised in the cloud in your Microsoft account. You won't lose any of your contact or message.

you can download via cellular. If your carrier have a bandwidth cap then try to connect someone have a wifi
