How to fix Freenet not working

Freenet is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Refresh the Freenet SIM

   After you turn Flugmodus on for 10 seconds, turn it off again so the phone registers with the network from scratch. On iPhone, open Einstellungen > Mobilfunk and keep Mobile Daten on; on Android, open Einstellungen > Netzwerk & Internet > SIMs and keep Mobile Daten on for the line you use.

2. Check the freenet app

   If the freenet Mobilfunk app will not load usage or invoices, test the same account in a browser at freenet.de. On iPhone, open App Store > account icon and update the app if it appears; on Android, open Play Store > profile icon > Manage apps and device > Updates available.

3. Use automatic network selection

   Freenet contracts can be on different German mobile networks, so a forced carrier choice can block service after travel or a SIM change. On iPhone, open Einstellungen > Mobilfunk > Netzauswahl and turn Automatisch on; on Android, open Einstellungen > Netzwerk & Internet > SIMs > Netz automatisch auswählen.

4. Reset Freenet phone settings

   Use this after the simple checks, because it clears saved WLAN passwords and Bluetooth pairings. On iPhone, open Einstellungen > Allgemein > iPhone übertragen/zurücksetzen > Zurücksetzen > Netzwerkeinstellungen zurücksetzen; on Android, open Einstellungen > System > Optionen zurücksetzen > WLAN, mobile Daten & Bluetooth zurücksetzen, then restart the phone.

While Freenet is down: what to use instead

• Home Wi-Fi If mobile data is failing, connect your phone to Wi-Fi and use messaging or internet calling until service returns.
• Second SIM A spare SIM from Telekom, Vodafone, or O2 can keep you online if your Freenet mobile plan cannot place calls or load data.
• Landline phone Use a fixed-line phone from home, work, or someone nearby when you need to make a call and mobile service is unstable.
• Freenet website or app If only one channel fails, try the other one for account changes, invoices, or tariff details before waiting it out.

Problems at the same time as Freenet

Since 3 November, all 5 of Freenet's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.

When people report Freenet problems

The busiest hour for reports about Freenet is 01:00 to 02:00 Central European time, and the busiest day is Wednesday.

Each bar is the average number of user reports in that hour, or on that day of the week, from 28 days of reports since 5 October 2026. The busiest bar is highlighted. Spikes in reports are left out, so one outage does not set the pattern.
