Realme: Rename a SIM Card

When two SIM cards on a Realme phone belong to the same carrier, both slots show the same label in call logs and data settings. That makes it hard to tell at a glance which SIM you are actually using for calls or mobile data.

Change SIM Card Name auf Realme

On a Dual SIM Realme phone, both slots often display the same carrier name if the SIM cards come from the same provider. That makes it difficult to see at a glance which SIM handles calls, texts, or mobile data. Renaming each SIM card fixes this without affecting network settings or your contract.

The name you set is only a local label stored on the phone. It does not change your phone number, carrier plan, or network registration, so you can edit it freely and reset it any time.

Menu path

Open Tap on SettingsTap on SIM card & mobile dataChoose a SIM card (Dual SIM)Tap on SIM card nameEnter a Nameand tap on Save.

Pick a short, clear name such as Work or Private so you recognize the SIM immediately in the dial screen, contacts, and data usage overview. If you only see one SIM slot, insert a second SIM card first, since the renaming option only appears once Dual SIM is active.

If the labels still look identical after saving, restart the phone. The system sometimes needs a reboot to refresh the SIM names shown across all apps.

Frequently asked questions

No. The name is only a local label on your Realme phone. Your phone number, carrier plan, and network registration stay the same.
