Manage dual SIMs

About dual SIMs

When two SIMs are inserted:

  • You see two sim icon at the top of the home screen. If you see no-sim-inserted icon, troubleshoot the issue.
  • Both SIMs can make and receive calls and text messages.
  • Only the owner of the phone (not additional users or guests) can access dual SIM settings.

Set up SIMs

You can specify which SIM to use for mobile data, calls, and text messages:

  1. Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIM cards.
  2. Select options:

    • Touch Mobile data and select a SIM.

    • Touch Allow calls and either assign a SIM or touch Ask every time.
    • Touch SMS messages and select a SIM.

Change SIM names and color

When two SIMs are inserted, you'll see them referenced in apps like Contacts, Messages, and Phone. To tell them apart more easily, change the default names (SIM1/SIM2) to more meaningful names. You can also change SIM icon color to make them easy to differentiate.

  1. Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIM cards.
  2. Tap the SIM to change.
  3. Change settings as needed.
