I have itunes match, turned on itunes match on iphone 4, but cloud has gone

Help!
I have just joined itunes match. Its all switched on on the iphone 4 and iphone is on ios6. I took the music off my phone as to save space, all my music still shows on my phone but i have to be linked to 3g or wifi to play it!
there is NO cloud icon to pull it down from the sky or delete what i dont want on there....
is this a fault?
I have tried switchin itunes match on and off and the phone. have i missed anything else?
Its annoying as in my car if 3g cuts out my music cant play!

I don't think Apple "missed it." It's pretty hard to think of ANY good reasons why Apple crippled iTunes Match in iOS 6, in so MANY ways, other than...
The music publishers and/or the cell carriers want it this way. Think about it. If you have to stream/download EVERY song as you play and/or load it to your device, the publishers get accurate play counts from Apple, and better info for their royalty rake-off. And, by not allowing sideloaded music to stay on the device when you turn on iTunes Match, they are forcing you to re-load your preferred "stable" music to your device every time you want to delete songs (the only "easy" way is by wiping your entire library). The carriers have found a stealthy way to increase your data charges. AND... Try setting all your Cellular Data Usage and Music download over Cellular settings to OFF. Then go to a playlist and start to download it over WiFi. Then walk away from the WiFi into 4G/3G territory. THE DOWNLOAD CONTINUES. This is NOT the Verizon firmware issue. I've got the latest iPhone 5 Verizon 13.1 carrier version. It's either ANOTHER bug (still not acknowledged), or it's part of a concerted effort to get everyone to use more data over cellular, now that we can no longer get unlimited plans. This one has just cost me 1GB of "wasted" data usage over Verizon. Thanks, Apple!
I'm an old codger at 59, but even I know this is an EPIC FAIL.
