Voice control not work when no internet connection

Am I right in thinking that if you lose phone connection via the internal car SIM card, that the voice control does not work, for even internal commands like change temp?

Voice control just would not work with lost connection shown for me the other day.

My understanding is that voice control sends stuff to the 'mother ship' for interpretation - so no connection, no control.

However, my car has recently gone through phases of just not listening - push the button, talk, and nothing at all, regardless of network

If it that is the case, it is quite frankly poo, pretty poor design tbh.

Yep, that's the case. No connection, no voice control or any type. I only have cell connection about half the time in the areas I drive most often, so I don't often use voice controls.
