Does Home nest need a cellular phone connection

[Bhaughery]

I am trying to set up a Google home nest with an iPhone. I have a Gmail account and have linked my phone and the Google home nest with the same Wi-Fi Location. The phone however is not connected to a cellular service. It is simply a phone that can access Wi-Fi only. I am having trouble bringing in music to the home Ness through the Wi-Fi only. I am wondering if the problem is that the phone itself is not part of a cellular service. Does this make sense?

As long as the Wi-Fi you're connecting to has a functioning internet connection, your phone itself does not need to be connected to a mobile or cellular service.
