why is it that the mobile phone needs the headset to be connected for the fm radio to work?

The headset doesn’t act as an antenna, as has been stated by at least one answerer – bit difficult to do that as it’s not actually connected to the phone.

This is something some makers build into phones so that the radio can’t be used in a way it would annoy other people in enclosed spaces – public transport for example..

    It acts as an antenna. Without it you won’t be able to pick up stations.

    It has to be plugged in as the Ariel of the phone can not connect to the internet. there is however a ariel in headphones that can use the radio
    hope that helped
