Mobile Users to Report Signal Blackspots
The German government is trying to fix problems with mobile phone reception. People can use an app to report bad signals. The goal is to find areas with weak mobile service.
The Federal Network Agency is starting a project called 'CheckDeinNetz'. It aims to measure the quality of mobile networks across Germany. Users can report problems with their mobile signal using a new app. The app is designed to find areas where people have no connection, known as ‘funklöcher’. The data collected will help the agency identify and fix these weak areas.
