Clever Fon is now in beta. Test drive it for free and let us know what you think about it.
With Clever Fon for Android, you can equip your AVM Fritz!Box with the full power of the Clever Dialer spam protection. You can find more information about Clever Fon here.
If your Fritz!Box is not recognised by Clever Fon, this can be due to various reasons:
Your mobile phone must be connected to the WiFi of your Fritz!Box
The software of your Fritz!Box is out of date. Please install the latest version on your Fritz!Box:
To do this, open the Fritz!Box user interface by entering “http://fritz.box” in your Internet browser.
Click on “Wizard”
Start the “Update” or “Update Firmware” wizard.
Restart your Fritz!Box. In many cases this has already helped
In order for Clever Fon to access your Fritz!Box, the TR064 interface must be activated. If TR-064 is not active, you can easily activate it via the FRITZ!Box interface. Here we explain how that works.
TR-064 is activated on FRITZ!Box devices from FRITZ!OS 5.5x onwards when delivered. This is also the case for devices provided by Internet providers such as UnityMedia, KabelBW, 1&1, etc.
If TR-064 is not active, this can be easily changed via the FRITZ!Box user interface:
To do this, open the Fritz!Box user interface by entering “http://fritz.box” in your Internet browser
Navigate to Home Network > Home Network Overview (or Network) > Network Settings
Under Home Network Shares you will find the option “Allow access for applications“
Activate the checkbox next to the option “Allow access for applications”
Restart your Fritz!Box. Only then will the change become active
If the option is not present, you cannot activate TR064 on this Fritz!Box.
After you have downloaded and installed the Clever Fon App from the Google Play Store, establish a connection between your mobile phone and your Fritz!Box. Make sure that your mobile phone is in the same Wi-Fi network as your landline phone.
Your Fritz!Box is now displayed in the Clever Fon App.
To establish a connection between your mobile phone and the Fritz!Box, select your Fritz!Box in the list.
Then enter the device password. Attention: Do not use the Wi-Fi password.
After that, you only have to synchronize the list of spam phone numbers with your Fritz!Box.
New spam numbers are added all the time. It is possible that the phone number from which you received a spam call is not yet included in our spam directory. With a corresponding negative rating of the phone number on our websites https://www.cleverdialer.de, https://www.cleverdialer.co.uk and https://www.cleverdialer.com or in the Clever Dialer app for Android mobile phones, you can contribute significantly to further improving the quality of spam detection.
If the Clever Fon App shows that your Fritz!Box is incompatible, that’s probably because it doesn’t meet the necessary technical requirements. It could be that the phone book function is not supported. Your Fritz!Box is probably a little older, or a cut-down model without the necessary phone book function. It may help to update your Fritz!Box with the latest software update:
– Open the Fritz!Box user interface. To do this, enter “http://fritz.box” in your Internet browser. – Click on “Assistant“ – Start “Update” or “Update Firmware”.
If your repeater is shown as incompatible, that’s because repeaters don’t support phone books. However, you should still be able to connect your Fritz!Box.
Repeaters do not support phonebooks and are therefore shown as incompatible in the Clever Fon App. However, you should still be able to connect your Fritz!Box.
