4g radio?

[12dan34]

My Dad wants to listen to a radio station in the UK called Atlantis Radio, they play oldies which is why he likes it.

He doesn't have internet but this station (despite telling you they are on DAB) is only available online. A smartphone or tablet would be the obvious choice but he'll struggle with both of those so I wondered if there's a radio that can have a SIM inserted in order to pick up internet channels?

Anyone know of anything like this please?

Thanks

Can’t help,on the sim powered internet radio, but I did something similar for an elderly relative using an old mobile phone set to hotspot and an Amazon echo.
My relative needed the voice control aspect so the Echo was an obvious solution and it works well connected to a phone’s hotspot (the phone is tucked away on charge).

Interesting idea, thanks!

Thanks 48k, not sure what area you are in, he's Essex and cannot pick it up although I believe other parts of the country can.

Is it quite an old DAB radio (without DAB+)? A new one might pick it up.

Their TSA is Surrey although they do claim coverage in "London and the South East". If the radio definitely receives DAB+ and he can't receive it then he will be out of range, fair enough, I was just being radio nerdy and picking up on the "they are not on DAB" statement.
