i have iPad air running iOS 8.1.2 and iPhone 6 plus running iOS 8.1.2
they both have t-mobile sim cards

i've noticed that whenever wifi is turned off, the download arrow disappears now on itunes match. and reappears when you connect to wifi
i was planning on testing t-mobile download speeds / usage, and found out that i can no longer download my music over cellular

is this a new feature???

settings
use cellular data for
everything is checked YES except for "roku" and "98.5 Kfox"

itunes and app store
itunes match ON
use Cellular Data ON

settings music
itunes match ON


i think downloading from itunes match over cellular was either removed in 8.1.2, or my sim card s blocking it

f iTunes match is turned off then music only shows purchased music , and that can be downloaded over cellular

if itunes match is turned on, then no music can be downloaded over cellular

if wifi is on or off, i can stream

the last time i tried downloading itunes match was when i had iOS 7 ( i think ) and verizon, and i was able to download music, but i got sick of it, because
iOS 7 had this weird delay of "processing" whenever i tried to download a song

so i think this is something new in iOS 8

the support page doesn't say anything about not being able to download songs over cellular
