Germany has notoriously patchy mobile coverage in rural areas and underground. This is a phrase you might need more often than you'd expect.

Ich habe kein Netz. Kann ich dein WLAN benutzen?

I have no signal. Can I use your Wi-Fi?

Hier habe ich kein Netz, aber dort vielleicht.

I have no signal here, but maybe over there.
