ive noticed, not necessarily with the charging btu i know that AT&T cell phones are known to cause interference
with speakers, all speakers.

Possible cause LOL

No, I have Verizon. As soon as I plug my phone in to charge radio reception goes to hell.

Default I have Verizon and have no problem

Maybe its the phone? I've had radio reception problems on my clock radio at home with my old phone, but my new one doesn't cause interference

Default Try a different/better charger. ....

Sounds like the charger you have now, is faulty, resulting in the switching power supply in the charger to feed radio frequency interference into the electrical system.
