Roaming rescue at the last second | Luxembourg word

Oh, you good Luxembourg mobile network! I felt something like that recently when I stayed with a car breakdown – in the middle of a German radio hole. Fortunately, Luxembourg was not far away. A network change? No problem.

This switching has long been everyday life for me. Even if I don’t like Luxembourgian soil. Because I am not only a cross -border commuter professionally, but also when it comes to network supply. Where I live-in the German-Luxemburg border area-the German mobile network often only works only under laboratory conditions. If you drive through the region’s villages, you quickly find out: cell phone reception and the Internet are a matter of luck. That’s why I do it like many here: I can be saved by Luxembourg.

For me, the Luxembourg Netz now looks like a helpful neighbor who, in need, extends her arm in need and says: « Nothing works with you right now, take my LTE! » All the greater my joy that the first nationwide mobile phone measurement week is now running. Finally, I can officially report the sparkling holes from the area to the German state – without a guilty conscience.

After all, it was the German Digital Ministry itself that prompted the data collection. Perhaps it was his secret plan back then to promote more interpersonal conversations such as the good old times? Because without a connection to the outside world there is only one thing: real contact instead of chats, emojis and gifs.

I will conscientiously transmit the radio holes and hope that a few new mobile phone masts will soon be nearby. Then hopefully I will be spared the next emergency without a cell phone reception. Until then it means: wait. But that also has its advantages: If one day I want to separate myself from Germany, my cell phone would have long been ready.
