  We report on recent results on the decay of the phi into pi^+ pi^- and phi
radiative decays into pi^0 pi^0 gamma and pi^0 eta gamma, which require the
consideration of the final state interaction of a pair of mesons in a region
inaccessible to Chiral Perturbation Theory. By using nonperturbative chiral
unitary methods for the meson meson interaction we can obtain the corresponding
decay widths and the results are compared with recent experimental data.
