Hi,
Obviously am new to this forum and new to dual sim phones.
I have got one question:
I see that we can have all calls be either on one default sim or the phone ask you to choose. My question is whether we can somewhere assign a number to one sim, i.e. each time calling this number it will use this sim.
If anyone knows how this can be done please send me the info.
I have tried to look from the sim card manager and into contact for the different options but can't find it.
Thanks

I think this is very popular issue, but I don't find any solution.
I use my SIM to store all phone numbers.
I will be very very very happy to use SIM as default destination of all new contacts.
No whats happening:
I save number in phone.
Next I copy this number in to SIM with SIM manager
Next I delete the number from phone memory
3-4 minutes for one contact and many potential mistakes....
Thank you.
Anyone?
I can't believe there is no solution
I tried a while ago for a friend of mine to et that working and didn't have any luck...
I think most people aren't going to use the SIM to store contacts as you can't do any of the advanced stuff with sim contacts(custom ringtones, attaching a pic, etc.)
i had the same problem and i finally chose to copy my sim contacts to my phone's memory and delete everything from sim... the only good thing (in my opinion) is the hability to add pictures to contacts..
hey guys, i have my contact list in people NOT to show the contacts on my sim card cause they are already into the phone with all the info and more. but when i search people or type the receiver into the TO box in messages etc they all appear again. is there a way to disable them completely?????
WITHOUT DELETING THEM cause i might use the sim card into another phone!!!
i would like to know this as well. they also show in the contact list under the phone dialer.
Hello there!
I'm just thinking about buying a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (i9192), but I have some doubts about how it uses its SIM cards, and I haven't found the answers even on the owner's manual available on Samsung's website.
For example, let's say that I have both SIM cards active, SIM1 is the default SIM, and I receive a call on SIM2. If I review the call log and search for that SIM2 call, what happens if I call back to that number?
a) Will the phone use SIM2 to place the call because it was received trough that SIM?
b) Will it make the call through SIM1 since it's the default SIM?
Another question is about associating contacts to a particular SIM. Can I specify a preferred SIM for a contact? If so, how does it work? I've seen some screenshots of the contact list from other Samsung Duos series, and they show a little 1 or 2 next to each contact, but I'm not sure what does it mean, or it that feature is available on i9192. Can somebody please clarify this?
Last question is about SMS. If I receive a message to SIM1 (for example), will I always reply from SIM1 too? Or will it let me choose between both SIMs?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello SilviuMik,
First of all, thank you very much for your quick response.
In the screenshots it looks like you can always choose to call from any SIM, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to call back from the same SIM that received the call (obviously if it's active). Could you please tell me if this is possible?
In one of the screenshots contact "A" shows a pop-up window asking you to select a SIM, but I don’t really know if this means that contacts can be associated to a preferred SIM, or if this window appears after pressing the call button with preferred SIM card for voice calls configured as "Always ask". Would you please clarify this too?
In your screenshots it seems that the each SMS can be sent with any SIM. Isn't that a problem? For cumbersome people like me, you could easily send SMS from the wrong SIM. As you've been using the phone for some time, what do you think about this? Is this feature comfortable/powerful of is it a mess?
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards.

Not without a third party app, or like i said in the next question, if u have 1 SIM always assigned as calls then from that sim
"In one of the screenshots contact "A" shows a pop-up window asking you to select a SIM, but I don’t really know if this means that contacts can be associated to a preferred SIM, or if this window appears after pressing the call button with preferred SIM card for voice calls configured as "Always ask".

Instead of Always Ask u can configure SIM 1 or SIM 2 in that menu . Maybe u have one sim for calls only and one for data only If u select SIM1 for example that pop-up won`t appear anymore

Depends on your fingers i never sent sms from wrong number
Thank you for your patience.

Your explanations were really helpful.
In my opinion, these Samsung dual devices are not mature enough yet, but they will be hopefully better in the future.
Thank you very much!
Since yesterday I'm the proud owner of an OP3.
Today I have inserted the 2nd sim for all my business call, but this is where the questions starts raising
I thought it was just 'normal' the create contact groups and have the phone automatically pick sim 1 or 2 based on the contact group a contact is in.
So this brings me to 2 main questions I have:
- Is it possible to set-up contact groups? (I can see the options within the contacts app)
- Is it possible to have an automatic profile for contact using sim 1 or sim 2?
- (is it also possible to send all contact over sim 2 based on the app where the phone numbers are in? For business purposes I use Good for Enterprise for mail and contacts. It would be awesome to select a contact in this app and to dail the number over sim 2)
Thank you
Need near the same here.
It Will be really great to separate contact form sim and allow to configure a default sim card to use depending on number called.
I use Dual SIM Selector from the store. You can assign individual numbers, contacts or groups to each SIM.
I have a work group setup to assign colleagues to my work SIM. If a call from a new number comes in then calling it back will automatically use the SIM where the call was received.
My options are also set to prompt which SIM when calling a new number, but default to personal SIM if I don't choose within 5 seconds. This means I don't have issues when on hands-free in the car.
I really can't understand why they release dual SIM phones without these features as standard. My last 3 dual SIM phones, and my wife's Mi 5 Pro are all the same. That's how I stumbled across Dual SIM Selector
Or use True Phone
Hello, can someone help me with this one...i had until now a rn5 pro with 2 sim cards inserted (private and business number). When incoming call arrives it says number and sim2logo on display and i know that call is coming on my business number inserted in sim2 tray. On note 8pro when someone calls me i can see just a number displayed, not sim1/sim2 information. Even my old note 3 pro had that info displayed (and5pro as stated above) but this one doesnt have it? It was important to me because if i see someone calls on my business number i can choose to not accept call if i dont want to, but now i cant see which sim card is receiving call. Anyone knows anything about it? Thanks
Hey. How about installing the Google Phone APK... That displays the SIM as far as i can remember...
It is no problem to install something....but every dual sim including xiaomi until now has that option so i was wondering did they forget it?

Yeah well who knows what's going through XIAOMI's mind these days.... The entire OS is a bunch of bad decisions in my opinion. I'm not at all surprised about what you said to be honest. Your best bet is to install a third party dialer. Try it and see.
