OnePlus: Rename a SIM Card

When both SIM slots run cards from the same mobile carrier, the phone shows an identical label for each and calls or data usage become hard to tell apart. OxygenOS displays this carrier name by default instead of a custom label. Renaming each SIM card fixes the mix-up without needing to swap slots or restart the phone.

Rename SIM Card auf OnePlus

On a Dual SIM OnePlus phone, both slots normally display the carrier name pulled from the SIM card itself. If both SIM cards belong to the same provider, the network settings, call log, and messaging apps all show two entries that look identical.

OxygenOS lets you overwrite this default label with a custom name per SIM slot. The renamed label then replaces the carrier name everywhere the system shows SIM info, including the status bar, dialer, and SMS app.

To change it, open Open the SettingsTap on Wi-Fi & networkTap on SIM & networkChoose a SIM cardTap on SIM nameTap on the current SIM nameEnter a name and tap OK.

The new name is stored locally on the device and is not sent to your carrier, so it will not appear on your bill or on the other party's caller ID. If you swap the physical SIM card into another slot or another phone, you need to set the name again since it is tied to the slot, not the SIM chip.

This method only changes the display label. It does not affect network priority, data routing, or which SIM handles calls versus mobile data, so it will not fix issues where the wrong SIM is used for internet access.

Frequently asked questions

No. The name is only a display label. To change which SIM handles data or calls, adjust the SIM priority settings separately under SIM & network.
