Realme: Enable Mobile Data During Calls on Secondary SIM

On a Dual SIM Realme phone, a call on one line does not automatically mean you stay online. If your secondary SIM holds the data plan, internet access can drop the moment you pick up, cutting messaging apps and background syncs mid-call. This setting decides whether that secondary SIM keeps feeding data while the other line handles the voice call.

Mobile Data During Calls on Secondary SIM auf Realme

On a Dual SIM Realme phone, only one SIM can usually carry a call at a time. Whether the other SIM keeps supplying mobile data during that call depends on a single toggle in Realme UI.

If this option is off, apps relying on the secondary SIM for data pause as soon as a call starts on the primary line. Messages stop syncing, downloads pause, and voice or video calls in other apps drop.

Turning it on lets the secondary SIM maintain a data connection while a call runs on the other SIM. This matters if one SIM is voice-only and the other carries your main data plan.

Menu path

Open Tap on SettingsTap on SIM card & mobile dataEnable or disable Use Internet during calls on secondary data SIM.

Enable the option to keep the secondary SIM online during calls. Disable it if you want to limit data usage on that SIM, for example to control costs on a prepaid or roaming plan.

Network speed can still dip briefly when a call starts, since the modem is switching tasks. This is normal and not a sign the setting failed.

Frequently asked questions

A short interruption when the call connects is normal. The modem switches between voice and data channels, and full data speed on the secondary SIM usually returns within a few seconds.
