an older fella here and a bit technically challenged. due to some circumstances i haven't been able to go for long walks with the dog for a little more than a year. is the only way to listen to a radio station is to be connected to the internet? (i use iHeart and TuneIn) i tried to listen to some stations away from home and i get a page stating something like not available when offline. is there something i can change to connect to stations?

Hi. Since iPhones do not have any FM module, the only way to listen to radio is via internet. Sorry.
 
When you leave your house, make sure your iPhone is not still trying to connect to the home Wifi. It sounds like that that may have been the problem when you were trying to use one of the apps, and your home Wifi was no longer available outside.

TuneIn and Heart radio will definitely work via cellular connection on your iPhone.
