Oppo: Set a Default Calling SIM for a Contact

On a Dual SIM Oppo phone, outgoing calls tend to go out on whichever SIM was used last, which gets annoying when you keep switching SIM manually before dialing a specific person. If a contact has both a private and a business number saved, the wrong SIM can also mean the wrong caller ID or tariff for that call.

Set a Default Calling SIM for a Contact auf Oppo

On a Dual SIM Oppo phone running Coloros, the calling SIM used for a contact usually falls back to whatever SIM you dialed with last, unless you lock it to a specific card.

Coloros lets you attach a default calling SIM directly to a contact entry, so every call to that person goes out through the SIM you choose, no matter which SIM was active before.

To set it, open ContactsChoose a ContactOpen the MenuTap on Set calling SIMChoose a SIM card and tap OK.

This setting is stored per contact, not globally, so you can mix SIM assignments across your address book without changing the default SIM for the whole device.

If a contact has multiple numbers saved, for example a private and a business number, check which number you are dialing, since the assignment applies to the contact entry rather than to a single number.

If you want to change which SIM handles calls by default across the whole phone instead, adjust that under the general network settings rather than editing individual contacts.

Frequently asked questions

The setting applies to the whole contact entry, not to a single number, so check which number you are dialing before the call goes out on the assigned SIM.
