Default [Q] Do I have to pay to use FM Radio

I just bought my daughter the Flip Out. I've read that it has a built in FM radio tuner, but that you have to use the AT&T Radio app to use it. I believe that this app costs $4.99/month.

Is this the only way to use the FM tuner?

Do you have to pay to use the AT&T Radio app if all you want to use it for is your built in FM tuner?

Thanks,
Rich

I believe no.. Check if there's Radio under Music. My version has it there.

If you're saying you have a Radio option in the Music app, no I don't see one in there. (or are you talking about within the ATT Radio app?)

I have tested the Central Europe retail ROM and the UK retail ROM, these two have it under Music(Connected Music Player). The Chinese retail ROM has a seperate app for FM radio.

Check out user manual from Motorola, this should help.

Good old AT&T must have removed it from the rom to force you into their app. I did get my answer, however. You have to use the AT&T Radio app. After your trial subscription ends, it will only allow you to select FM Tuner option without subscribing.

So the FM tuner is free, that's acceptable...
