I used to be able to listen to radio 4 using realplayer in my Nokia E66 and
a Wifi connection.

In May the unhelpful BBC discontinued this facility.

The BBC say that the iplayer will run in a E71 which is a similar phone
http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/mobile/mobile_phone though if the
web site is to be believed I need a TV licence just to listen to the radio.
However my attempts to make this work in my E66 have so far failed as I
appear to need a new version of Adobe Flash player which is not available

See http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/mobile/mobile_phone

To quote "Stream live TV & radio: Watch or listen to simulcast live
broadcasts. Note that you will need to be covered by a TV licence to do
this."

Has anyone found a way of listening to radio 4 via WiFi on using a Nokia
Symbian phone?

This just works on my N79, real player and all.

No you don't need a TV license to listen to the radio.

Yes. I use the BBC iPlayer app. - Well it appears as an 'app' but I think
it is really just a link which brings up my browser. Use your mobile to
download the link 'app' from here:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/bbapps
When installed, launch it then choose 'Radio' and then 'Stations'
followed by 'Radio 4'.

Just tried it now and Radio 4 is playing merrily. I am a radio 4 fan too
- also I like the World Service.

BBC World Service is playable via the Nokia Radio App.available for free
from Ovi - there is an Ovi Store app , to access the download, for your
mobile too.

Does it play _live_? The iplayer on the ipod/iphone doesn't. I expect
this will change with the impending release of an actual iplayer app.

(You can listen to live radio with third party apps though...)
