Simple phone with FM radio

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for a simple phone, but one with FM radio support. According to the Fizz site, the TCL Flip phone has no radio, which is unfortunate, as it's a good way to cut on mobile data/Internet use. (Other sites claim that some simple TCL phone models do include FM radio support.)

Which simple phones, such as a flip phone or bar phone, would your recommend in my case, for Fizz? I'd like to see Fizz sell simple phones by other brands like Alcatel, Nokia and Samsung, with 4G LTE (and ideally 5G too) and FM radio support. I'm happy with my Alcatel phone from Freedom, so I'd like to use that phone or a better one with Fizz. If there are different colours available, then that would be even better.

Thank you!

    Hi, he needs to be on Fizz's list, otherwise, it probably won't be compatible.You also need to check with the seller, like Fizz, to see if FM is disabled or not in the model they are selling. Several providers disable the phone's chip even if it is present...

    Hi, I don’t think it exists with compatibility with Fizz network, but you can buy a separate mp3 player with fm radio, some are very small and around 50$.

    Otherwise there apps you can probably use. Popular options include iHeartRadio, which gives access to over 850 stations, and TuneIn Radio, which offers a mix of local and international stations, podcasts, and sports. Other choices are MyTuner Radio and RadioFM

    Yes but use data.

    There is no 5G with Fizz, so you don't need it for now.
