FM radio

Listening to the radio on the phone is easy: plug in the headset and tune in to your favorite station. You need to use a piece of software on the phone to control the radio, and some headsets allow you to manage the radio as well. Radio is a convenient method for listening to music on the phone because you don't have to download new music and remove old songs from its memory.

FM radio on a phone is typically built of components: the headset cable doubles as an antenna, a software on the phone is used as the tuner, and the FM receiver chips are inside the phone. If there's no FM radio on the phone when it comes out of the factory, that's it then – you can forget about radio. It usually can't be added to the phone as an accessory.

We recommend finding a phone with radio and that shouldn't be too hard, most music phones come with an FM radio.
