iPad 20MB limit over 3G?

I like the PDF on my bookshelf :)

Can I download on the device itself?

Yes you can, once the pdf is downloaded and open in the browser, you can click on the action button to choose to open it in iBooks.

Please help.

I have a microsim with 3g in the iPad, I also have a wireless network at home. Everytime I leave home i have to switch wireless off, so I can connect through 3G. Is there anyway that i can still use 3g connectivity if in wireless range of my router and having wireless set to ON?

thanks!

I have my wireless on at all times... I also have a 3G sim in my iPad2.
Basically, as soon as I go out of range of my Wi-Fi, it uses the 3G connectivity.
You shouldn't have to be switching the wi-fi on and off at all....
 
I'm not really looking at workarounds ... morkhams closed the thread prematurely.

I'm looking at whose fault - and can Vodacom lift it?
 
I would say no. I would say the limitation is now written into the devices code...
 
I'd say that as well - but every Google links says it's the local networks and they all say 'speak to your network about it'

That's all I'm trying to do and get a final answer - and the call centre won't help in this case. I was hoping Jannie could maybe shed some light.

I'll have to email him as the Vodacom section is too limited nowadays to post or get feedback
 
i think it is definately Apple's "fault" due to US networks and thus written into the OS, so no local networks cannot lift it, i gave a solution in that thread
 
I have solutions - but thanks anyhow ;)

I was looking for the 'why' and 'who'

Am pretty sure MyBB is already looking into it in any case
 
The 20MB limit is not a network limit.

Remember, according to you'all, we're evil and thus would prefer for you to do all your downloads over 3G only. On MyMeg-0 ;)

Here's my workaround - but you need a hotspot-cabable phone.

1. Put a data bundle on your phone contract.
2. Get a data-SIM for the iPad.
3. Attach iPad to phone hotspot.
4. You can now download anything over 3G and it still uses the same data bundle you would've used in the iPad.
5. You've successfully pulled an 'Apple' on Apple. :)
 
Thanks Jannie ... Kind of what I thought, but most people iFolk I chatted to blamed the network and said I should chat to them.

At least now its black and white that's got nothing to do with the networks

The question was never whether the limit was applied and implemented by Vodacom, rather whether Vodacom as recognized iPhone network provider could query this with Apple.

FYI A few of us have logged this limitation / bug directly with Apple -- either as a feature request or as an developer related bug.

In my bug request I asked that the restriction be moved from a device restriction to a setting that the network provider can control I.e. those networks that require the limitation can apply it and those that don't can disable it.

Agree it should be user-configurable.
