My very basic Pixi4 smart phone (now surplus as my children bought me a better one for my birthday) works Ok without a SIM,and could probably be used to access internat radio if I cold be bothered.

As a schoolboy in the early 1960's i used to play my EL3585 tape recorder through the gram input of an old radio. I only ever saw UK-made radios with 1/4" wander plug connections for the Gram input, although did find 4mm connectors used on some Philips models. The radios always had a Gram setting on the waveband select switch.
