We would like to thank you for the millions of measurements. By the way, you can also check your network after the campaign period.
It took place throughout Germany from 26 May to 1 June 2025.
However, you can also check your network beyond the campaign period. Every measurement helps to optimize the network.
The aim of the Mobilfunk-Messwoche is to develop a more accurate picture of users’ experiences on mobile communications. There is user data on mobile communications, which the German Federal Network Agency has been collecting for years using the broadband measurement app and presenting the results in a dead zone map (”Funklochkarte”) (Gigabitgrundbuch). The app uses location-based detection to determine whether the user’s end device is connected to a mobile network, and with what technology. However, data is not available for all areas.
In addition, the German Federal Network Agency regularly collects data from mobile network operators about their area coverage using the 2G, 4G and 5G mobile standards, and publishes it (Mobile Network Monitoring). The network operators calculate the supply from the consumers’ perspective for the whole of Germany based on the uniform specifications laid out by the German Federal Network Agency. This information can, however, differ significantly from the reception quality experienced by consumers in real life.
As part of the Mobilfunk-Messwoche, we want to expand upon and improve the existing database by jointly comparing user measurements! The collected data can be used to reveal potential for action and positive developments.
All you need is your smartphone and the German Federal Network Agency’s broadband measurement app (Breitbandmessung from zafaco GmbH). Simply download the app and start recording. No registration is necessary. You can find out more in our video. For more information about the app download options, visit: https://breitbandmessung.de/funkloecher-erfassen
To take part in the Mobilfunk-Messwoche, you need a smartphone with a compatible operating system, access to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and an active SIM card or e-SIM in your device. You don’t need to have the latest smartphone, but it must be able to install and use the app – although this usually isn’t a problem.
