Do you remember walking around with your own portable radio in your pocket? Since the introduction of the modern smart phone many have been fighting for these platforms to have free FM radio capability.

 

Many smart phones have FM radio chips installed, however, mobile phone carriers must unlock the capability.

 

AT&T is one the largest mobile carriers in the United States and is now working with NextRadio and FreeRadioOnMyPhone.org to begin activating the existing FM chips in their smart phones.

 

Beginning in 2016, AT&T phones with built in FM chips will start being activated, and AT&T is working with manufacturers to have FM chips installed in future phones.

 

Some new phones on the AT&T network may even have FM radio capability by years end.

 

Soon you may be able to enjoy your favorite Bartlesville Radio station without using your carriers data plan.
