Study Reveals Frequent Use of Landline Phones Among Germans - A study reveals that a significant proportion of Germans still employ landline phones periodically.
In a recent survey commissioned by the comparison portal Verivox, the usage of landline phones in Germany has been found to remain stable compared to the previous years of 2023 and 2024. The survey, conducted by Innofact in July 2025, is representative of the German population in terms of age, gender, and federal state.
The survey revealed that 19% of Germans primarily use the landline for their calls, a figure similar to the previous years. Among the older generation, those aged 70 to 79, 42% still primarily use the classic landline for their conversations.
On the other hand, the usage of mobile phones for private calls in Germany has seen an increase. According to the survey, 62% of people primarily use mobile phones for their calls, an increase from 51% in 2024.
Interestingly, almost 15% of Germans prefer services like WhatsApp or FaceTime for their calls. However, the survey did not provide new information about this preference.
The survey also found that the number of people without a landline connection in Germany has remained unchanged at 29% in 2025.
It's worth noting that the survey did not directly report specific statistics on landline and mobile phone usage among Germans. Instead, it mainly focused on payment trends, specifically the decline of cash usage in Germany in favor of card payments.
Therefore, for insights about phone usage trends specifically, additional or alternative sources would be necessary, as the present results do not cover that topic in detail.
