Dumbphones that work in Germany

We check 61 simple phones against 4 networks in Germany. 0 work on at least one network, and 53 more work with caveats. Every result links to its reason and sources.

The short version

3G went in 2021. 2G stays until 2028: Telekom by 30 June 2028, Vodafone in September 2028, O2 in the second half of 2028. 1&1 uses Vodafone's 2G.
After that, a phone needs 4G Calling enabled on your network. We haven't found public network lists for simple phones in Germany yet, so most results are "with caveats".
"Supports VoLTE" on a spec sheet isn't enough. Each network has to allow that phone.

2G and 3G switch-off dates

Network	3G	2G
Telekom	Switched off in 2021	On until 30 June 2028, when Telekom plans to switch it off completely
Vodafone	Switched off in 2021	On until September 2028 (kept for critical IoT only until the end of 2030)
O2 (Telefónica)	Switched off in 2021	On until the second half of 2028 (replace 2G-only devices by 1 July 2028)
1&1	No 3G network	No 2G of its own: uses Vodafone's 2G via national roaming, so Vodafone's September 2028 date applies

From each network's own pages and the regulator. Checked 23 Oct 2026.
