Samsung How to Manage SIM Card

In addition to the standard SIM card for calls, we can also activate a function before each call, so we can choose which SIM card to use for each outgoing call.

For dual SIM devices, one or both SIM cards can be deactivated on the Samsung device, making the device unreachable under the phone number (the SIM card).

Samsung's One UI allows dual SIM users to change the icon for the SIM cards. Samsung provides different colors and icons for this purpose. For example, there is an icon especially for a SIM card that is only used for mobile data use. In the same way, a SIM card can be marked as "Private" or "Office". The following types are available:

• SIM 1 (Blue)
• SIM 2 (light green)
• Call (Green)
• SMS (Brown)
• MMS (Red)
• Internet (light blue)
• Private (Lila)
• Office (Orange)
• Heart (Pink)

By default, Samsung calls the SIM cards "SIM 1" and "SIM 2", but in the SIM card management, the name of the SIM card can be renamed as desired.

By default, calls are made via SIM card 1, but the Samsung device can also be configured to use SIM card 2, or the device always makes a query before a call.

Note: The default SIM card for calls can also be changed via the status bar.

Samsung devices use SIM card 1 for mobile data use by default. SIM card 2 can also be selected in the SIM card management. However, some Samsung devices only support fast LTE on SIM card 1.

Note: The default SIM card for mobile data can also be changed via the status bar.

By default, the Samsung device sends messages (SMS) via SIM card 1, but you can also select SIM card 2 in the SIM card management settings.

Note: The default SIM card for SMS can also be changed via the status bar.
