For anybody doesn’t have unlimited data plan, or maybe having slow internet connection, downloading little big application is a patience tester. Moreover if the application needs WiFi because it’s very large, and there is no WiFi in your home. Actually you can create a virtual hotspot using your notebook, but this not to be discussed now 🙂
Windows Phone allows you to install application using your PC, here are the steps:
- Download the XAP file from Windows Phone Store by clicking ‘download and install manually’ in the application page.
- Transfer the XAP file to your SD card. (sorry if your phone doesn’t support card, I think it can’t be done)
- Open Store, there will be new option called ‘SD card’, tap on it.
- Your phone will start the install procedure. Note that internet connection is still needed, I think to verify the package.
- Once completed, you can launch the application like usual.
