T-Mobile has announced its support for NextRadio making it the third mobile service provider to activate the FM receiver chip in smartphones.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere made the announcement on Twitter.
Hey @NextRadioApp – We heard you! We’re saying yes to FM chip and will push our OEM partners to support! #sayyestoFMchip

T-Mobile joins AT&T and Sprint in activating the chip on devices running Android or Windows Phone operating systems. This still is a minority of all devices as without the support of top service provider Verizon or Apple’s iOS devices more American’s will still not have access to the FM receiver.
