For some reason there are two APNs from my provider (O2 Germany) in Settings/Mobile Network/Access Point Names: There is "pinternet.interkom.de" and there is "internet". When I don't have a data connection, I have to switch to the respective other APN and everything works. I have no idea what it depends on and of course this workaround is not ideal, but it's at least less tedious than restarting the phone and hoping that it will work.
I found that out after I had followed zetabeta's advice to set ATTR{power/control}="on" instead of ATTR{power/control}="auto" in the first line of /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-modem-eg25.rules (reboot afterwards or make udev load the new rules). This minimises the notorious modem crashes (in fact I hardly had any crashes since changing it), which is great in itself; I'm not sure whether it contributed to the fact that I have mobile internet.
Anyway: My pinephone is now perfectly usable.
Be careful, it may ruin your battery life.
