Is it possible to store for each contact the default SIM to use for phone calls?
It's really really annoying to set it up manually every time (and sometimes it happen to pick the wrong one)
i can't believe i'm the only one annoyed by this issue

Hello, This is my first post, I've done a lot of searching on here and google and am at my wits end with my google voice account and my new phone (Droid Charge).
It was working fine with my previous phone...and still does if i swap it to foward to it (Sprint - Blackberry Style).
I'm running PBJT kernel, and GummyCharged 1.7.5 - and did a wipe and cleared all of the options available to clear when flashing my rom.
Here is the problem: When I add my verizon droid charge's phone number into my google voice account it wants me to verify the phone. I hit call to verify but I never get the call. The only issue I could find on google voice help was people having problem entering the two digit code after the call comes through. That's not my problem. My call never comes through.
If I set it to another number, a different cell phone or land line...it rings and I can enter the 2 digit code, and it's working perfectly.
If I try to use the "add this phone" through google voice on my droid charge. It looks like it verifies because on the google.com/voice in the phones section it no longer says I need to verify. However, still having an issue because if you call the google voice number, it will not ring my verizon number (droid charge). It's worth noting that If I text it works. Just not the calls. Also if I leave a voicemail it will notify me on my phone as it should. The application works fine, etc. Just have never gotten it to ring my phone.
I'm about ready to have Verizon try and change my phone number, but wanted to ask here if anyone had any ideas to try. I honestly cannot remember if I tried to do it before rooting this phone, but my gut tells me I tried and it still didnt work. And yes, the checkbox to "forward calls to phone" is checked.
I've also tried from a friends google voice account seperate from mine. Tried to have them add my number, then when they need to do the verification step that calls the phone....of course...I never get the call.
Frustrating!
Thank you for any insight...
Is your GV number your primary number? If not you could also port your number over as an alternitave: google.com/support/voice/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1065667
I know that there is an error saying my carrier is not supported when I try to setup my voicemail with the Charge, so I think it is either the phone or LTE. I had no problems setting it up when I used my Moto Droid, so I know Verizon works.
Since I'm already setup, I just ignore the error. That might not help you much, but like the suggestion porting your number will be your best bet. I hear switching back to a 3g phone temporarily will disable your sim card, and you'll have another headache on your hands.
Thanks for the replies. My sister actually has the same phone but stock etc etc. Going to have it forward to hers and see if that is a fix. I dont really want to have my google voice be my only number but I may do that porting if worse comes to worse.

Hey guys, just had an issue with the phone calling system. I realized that whenever I try to dial an number of a place/business that I find on the Chrome Browser, and when I try to dial it, the call immediately ends as soon as I try to place the call. I'm on Sprint by the way. The only way the call will work is if I punch it in manually without any of the area codes involved either. I find it odd.
Anyone have a clue what the issue is?
Most of the numbers you find online will be GSM formatted in that they may trigger a +1xxx-xxx-xxxx. IN that case sometimes it might fail on CDMA carriers which don't use +1. Before hitting dial just delete the +1 and then call. If the +1 doesn't show up and it displays the number in the normal format then I have no idea
I have to ask you gurus.. this is getting annoying. i have one private sim, and one work sim.
i call and text with both depending if it is work related or not.
the way f.ex motorola/huawei handles dual sim is so much better, automatically using which sim i used last, for a call/text to a specific number.
but with samsung`s way of handling this, i have to edit each contact to select preferred sim to use.
am i missing something here?
Mine always uses /defaults to whatever sim i originally used to call a number. I can change to a different sims if I want but otherwise it just does it automatically

Every time you make a call even to a number you called already on default sim? Are you using Samsung phone app?

yep, it was like that on my S20 FE also. every time i get a pop up asking which sim to use. i have to manually edit a contact to make it use the desired sim.
Try to use the TrueCaller application for default Call & SMS and it will stay with the simcard which one was the last used for both Call & SMS....mate.
The way Samsung used to have the dialler was with two call.buttons, one for each sim. That was much better than today.
Hey, there's a remote location that I'm going to every now and then, and there's good signal only by a specific provider.
There's no good signal with that provider where I live, so switching permanently is not a solution for me.
I've purchased a second sim for when I'm going to that location, didn't try it yet but I wonder about using my Whatsapp with that sim.
According to the Whatsapp FAQ:
"Your WhatsApp account can only be verified with one number on one phone. If you have a dual SIM phone, please note that you still must choose one number to verify with WhatsApp. There is no option to have a WhatsApp account with two phone numbers.
If you attempt to frequently switch your WhatsApp account between different devices, at a certain point, you may be blocked from re-verifying your account. Please don't repeatedly switch between different devices and numbers."

Which means that changing the Whatsapp number every time sounds like a pretty bad solution, and I know people that had issues with this.
So basically I'm trying to ask for a possible solution here, I guess I need to:
1. Either be able to use the other number's Whatsapp with the other sim.
2. Either be able to 'forward' the internet from the second sim to the first sim.
I don't know if any of them are possible, but hopefully I'm not the first one to encounter that.
Thanks!
It would be ridiculous for verification to happen very often over SIM data connection. After all, people often travel using Wi-Fi, and WhatsApp still works, because the application only checks whether the SIM inserted into the phone is the one that was used when registering. Just turn on the internet via the second SIM, and do not turn off the first one despite the lack of coverage. At most, the battery will run out faster due to attempts to establish a connection from the first SIM to the mast.
I have two SIMs and it seems the audio system of my Ford does not support dual SIMs: when calling via Bluetooth the SIM choice happens only on the phone and not on screen. Is there a way to assign in bulk a SIM to a list of contact (I know how to do this one by one).
Also, even fir contacts with only one number, when calling from car I am prompted with two equal numbers, and this happens only for those on whatsapp as well.

Try this app ... Dual Sim / Multi Sim Selector
As far as I can tell from the reviews you can bulk group contacts into say Work and Friends, then use the app to assign a default sim to each group. I might be wrong but hope not, had a brief read of the reviews as there's not much description about the app. Can't try it though as I don't use multi-sim. Hope it helps

I used this app in the past, but it's annoying for several reasons...
To be honest, mist of the times I use Android Auto that always asks me which SIM to use, but my Ford's system dies not Stupid Ford developers
