I have two SIMs and in settings phone is set to always ask. When selecting a SIM during calling, is it possible to mark the selected sim ad default for future calls to that number (like Google dialer does)?
I think it just does it. I never had to set any defaults
It does not.
It asks for which sim, I chose sim 1 but then second time I call it'll ask again
it asks but defaults to whatever sim you've chosen earlier. so i can just dial

I am using Google dialer due to dual sim. You can select the "calling account" and pick the sim you want to use as default. Texting is tricker. Messages won't do MMS unless you have that sim picked as primary (using it for data). Had to get a third party app to overcome that. Currently using pulse sms.

Hi,
I have a Xiaocai X9 dual sim phone. I have two sim cards with complementary contracts. The first sim comes with free texts and internet, while the second sim card comes with free calls. However, if I accidentally use the first sim card for calls or the second for texts and internet, it can get pretty expensive.
I use MIUI and often it automatically selects sim card 1 instead of 2 for calls. Therefore, I need a way to disable or block all outgoing calls on sim card 1 and ideally all outgoing texts and internet connections for sim card 2.
Please post here if you know a solution. Thanks!
Does anyone know a handset or app which allows you to restrict calls to small set of numbers, while allowing SMS to any number?
I've been playing around with my HTC Desire S, and you can use Fixed Dialing Numbers (FDN) to restrict calls to a small set of numbers, but that also restricts SMS to that same set of numbers.
I'm using miui v5. While making call it asks from which
Sim you want to place call. Also for sms while sending sms you get 2 options sim1 sim2 select appropriate option to send sms. I have not seen any song to set default option for sms/call

I also use MIUI v5. There are certain scenarios when MIUI automatically starts a call with sim1 without the prompt. Furthermore, there is also the risk to accidentally select the wrong sim card for a call or a text message - as it happened to my once. I therefore still try to find a fool-proof solution - either an app or an OS.
Hi guys
I have the same problem and seriously want to solve this problem with miui v5 on TCL s950
when I'm trying to make a call from contacts list it use sim1 automatically!
If it haave any solution please help....
Hello,
I am interested into buying a dual SIM for keeping separate work contacts and personal contacts.
The "automatic SIM selection" (or "Remember SIM for contact", google it to find the Motorola FAQ page) feature is very interesting to me.
What is Automatic SIM selection?
Automatic SIM selection is a software solution to simplify calling on Moto phones with dual SIM’s. If you typically select the SIM for every outgoing call, this new feature will learn from pattern of use and suggest or even automatically select your preferred SIM.
As far as I know, only Sony does a similar thing (widget "Preferred contacts for SIM1" in its Xperia E Dual).
But I would like to know if this feature is also available when texting, not only when dialing ? That is to say: does it select automatically the SIM1 when I text to someone I used to call / text with SIM1 ?
Thank you :highfive:
Hello all,
I have 2 SIM cards, one for work and one personal. I think to buy a dual SIM phone.
I have some questions about dual SIM features:
1) Can I define an Account\Gmail Contacts\Groups that will be assigned to the different Sim card (for example: I want to define that to all my work contacts will dial\send SMS from work SIM card and to my private contacts will be dial\send SMS from my personal SIM card without the need to choose every call which SIM card to use)?
2) If the answer to the first question is YES, do I need to go to every contact and assign it to default SIM or it can be defined by Contact group\Gmail contact account?
3) If I get a call from number that not in my contact list, If I will redial it will the call go from the SIM that got this call or I will need to choose which sim should I use ?
4) Can I define a different sound profile schedule for each SIM card ?
If those features are not built in Android system, is there any App that can do this or is it possible to develop an app with those features?
Thanks
Eli
I own a dual SIM phone. I don't know some of the questions but I tell how I use it:
- Every time I dial or I select a contact to phone, a dialog appears where I can select which SIM to use, and shows which was the SIM used for the last time. It means 1 click more than a standar phone to make a call, but I find it more practical than preconfiguring the SIM for every contact. First because I have lots of contacts, second, often I phone the same contact from different SIM...
- When I receive a call or SMS the phone indicates which SIM is being used. I suppose I could configure different tone for each SIM, but I don't care about it, I just care about who is calling.
- An app I haven't been able to make it work correctly is Whatsapp. I don't know how to tell it I have dual SIM so it should manage two accounts... finally I use only 1 account with this app.
In general I am really happy with dual SIM and I am clear that my next phone will be dual SIM again.
Thanks for your reply.
But the behavior that you describe is the one that I prefer to avoid.
I don't want to think which SIM use with which contact I want to define it advance.

1. You store contacts you want to call from SIM1 on SIM1, the contacts you want call from SIM2 you save to SIM2.
2. You need to do it manually.
3. When you are calling someone/SMSing you have Call/Send buttons for every SIM and you press the button depending from what SIM you want to do the action.
4. I'm not too sure. But I don't think so.
The anwsers were given under the assumption that apps for the features don't exist (which may not be true, I didn't check).
So I have set a default SIM per contact (depending on whether personal or work), and this is working fine from the Phone app.
However id I am hands free and OK Google, Call <blah> -- it pops up asking me for which SIM.
I don't want to select a default SIM for all calls, per contact is a great feature. Any idea how to get the assistant to use the dialler settings? Or is the assistant just prompting the dialler, but the dialler isn't working right?
T-Mobile is Unlimited and Verizon is 5 gb a month pre paid
So when I make a call using google voice it will only dial out of the sim that I set as primary.
I set T-Mobile as primary because its unlimited data.
If anyone has a option on choosing the sim you want as you are making the call let me know. Maybe a different phone dialer that lets me choose if anyone know of any.
Previous oneplus 8T I was able to set a specific sim just for Mobile data and choose what ever sim as the call is made.
For the moment I just linked both sim phone numbers to my google voice so incoming call are coming in through Verizon but outgoing calls are through T-Mobile.
Any questions or ideas you have let me know.
Long press on the call button? Its what I do
I can put in a number then long press on the green button and lets me choose.

Thank you for letting me know, it work as you say for the regular phone dialer but not with the google voice dialer.
Google voice app still chooses what ever sim is set as primary sim.
I'm still looking for a solution to get google voice to use the sim that is not the primary.
Solution:
Switched to google dialer and in settings > Calling accounts = you can change the "Make calls with" to either "sim1" or "eSIM" or "Always Ask"
So now I can choose what sim to use with the google voice app.
Sweeeeeet. Now under each contact I can set a specific sim to call if I don't want to choose on the spot every time I call a contact.
