Xiaomi: Use Mobile Data on Secondary SIM During Calls

When you're on a VoLTE call with your primary SIM, mobile data can stay locked to that same line instead of switching to your secondary SIM. That leaves apps stuck loading or messages stuck sending mid-call. A dedicated toggle in the network settings decides which SIM handles data traffic while a VoLTE call is active.

Mobile Data on Secondary SIM During VoLTE Calls auf Xiaomi

On a Xiaomi phone with MIUI, mobile data traffic normally follows whichever SIM is placed in a VoLTE call. If that SIM has no data plan or a weak signal, apps stall until the call ends.

MIUI includes a switch that lets the secondary SIM keep handling mobile data even while the primary SIM is busy with a VoLTE call. This avoids the interruption without forcing you to end the call first.

To turn it on or off:

Open the SettingsTap on SIM cards & mobile networksEnable or disable Use mobile data during VoLTE calls on the secondary SIMConfirm with OK

Enable this if you regularly browse, stream, or receive messages while talking and your secondary SIM has an active data plan. Leave it disabled if your secondary SIM has no data allowance, since the phone will still try to route traffic through it and may fail silently.

This setting only affects VoLTE calls. Regular voice calls over the mobile network are not affected, since they do not compete with data on the same channel the same way.

Frequently asked questions

Without this option enabled, the phone keeps mobile data tied to the SIM that is in the call, so the secondary SIM cannot take over traffic until the call ends.
