Downloading large apps via cellular network

[jasoncordelle]

OK - I have serached and can't find anything relevant here, so i'll start at the beginning:

I have an iPhone 3Gs.

It operates on the Vodafone Network in NZ.

I cannot download apps larger than 20mb via cellular network, despite having 3gb allowance per month.

Why should my iPhone tell me to connect to WiFi or my computer to download large apps? Isn't it up to me to decide whether to use that much data?

Maybe I'm missing something here.

It's not a limit placed by the phone, it's a limit placed by the carriers. They complain now about how much bandwidth iPhones use now. Imagine what they'd say if you could download a 1GB app!

And yet they give us 3Gb per month to play with - which they know we can't use unless we tether the iPhone...grrr
