Meta glasses internet connection

I understand that I need a smart phone with Wi-fi to use the Meta glasses. At home, that’s no problem. But if I’m out and about, and I don’t have a Wi-Fi connection, and I can’t find a Wi-Fi hotspot, it seems I’m out of luck. Has anyone found a way around this problem? It would seem to be a serious limitation, especially for users in rural areas.

The glasses work perfectly fine through your phone's cellular connection.

It's not needed for the glasses to work. I use them often with just my Cell data.

What the glasses need is not WiFi as such, it just needs to connect to the internet which you can do using your phone's hotspot.

Hi,
Unlike the Seleste glasses, you don't need hotspot or wifi to use the meta glasses when out and about. The bluetooth connection to your smart phone is all that's neded.
You only need wifi to set them up, and for firmware updates.
Hope that helps.
