Does anyone have suggestions for dual sim enabled SMS applications? I like the default Moto app, but I would like reply templates.
I need a app that allows me to label each of the SIMs (so I can name they the same as in the Moto Dual Sim settings). I have found a couple of apps (GoSMS, Textra SMS ) but all they do is label sims "1" and "2" ... and I don't want to confuse my work with my personal accounts.
Thanks,

I'm using chomp SMS.
So a recent "discovery of mine" has led me to want to share some information. I signed up with project fi and used it on my nexus while using Verizon on my s6 edge. Due to a broken fingerprint sensor i have sent my edge off to be repaired. I out my Verizon sim ij my nexus. If i use hangouts dialer i am able to still make calls and texts with my project fi number. And the regular dialer uses my Verizon number. It's like having dual sim in the phone. In case anyone else wants this.
Activate your project fi on your nexus
Set hangouts to your default sms
Make call and text to make sure everything is working
Take out sim
Put in other carriers sim
Reboot phone
Use hangouts to continue to send texts and hangouts dialer to make calls with project fi
Use normal dialer to make calls with current sim phone number.

I guess this is somewhat expected. Hangouts dialer uses your Project Fi aka "google voice" number while the normal dialer app uses your SIM card number. For non-Project Fi users this works the same except the hangouts dialer will use their assigned Google Voice number even with the SIM out.
It gave me a new number. Maybe that's why it's interesting to me.

anyone know if there is any way to assign a contact to use a particular Sim with out switching using the Sim manager, when yo dial a number you get the option to select the Sim to use but the contact seem to only use the selected Sim ATM i hang up and you can the redial and select the Sim ( i have my home Sim and works Sim in the phone )
I have tried Samsung but the are unhelpful as i am using the phone in the UK and its not supported in this region,
If anyone in a region where the dual Sim version is supported has 5 mins to chat to samsung via there web chat can ask the question if there is any way to set a contact to dial using sim1 and another contact to use sim2 the ask them to request the feature be added via there dev team it may get added or i may just have to go back to LG as they have better call control..
thanks in advance

Hi,
I also have a G935FD and indeed, you're right I haven't found anything to be able to choose from which sim card you want to call when calling via contacts. It works only when you dial from the touchpad...
Complaining at Samsung might help to implement that process in the upcoming updates.

Just found a new option that will allow you to select "Always Ask" its not perfect but it helps

This is exactly what I found bit annoying, you couldn't set preference per number as which SIM to use out of the box (by not using any app.. just plain OS based solution), I couldn't find any. Tried asking on this & other forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/sgs7-changes-marshmallow-t3353208
On the play store, found couple of paid apps that were doing the job, but one of them was not working on v6.0.1 (app creator was still in process of upgrading app to work on MM v6.0.1), another app gives you 7 days of free usage but costed £5 after that. I also tried to create a solution using Tasker, but it required a plugin which was first app that I mentioned was still under upgrade.
Frustrated with these problems, I decided to take control myself & now I'm in the process of developing an app that will exactly address the number-SIM preference. I found that Android has exposed a multi SIM API in version 5.1, but it's so poorly documented that I got really really angry about lack of information. Somehow I managed to build a workable copy of app. In this app you can specify rules based on Regular Expression number matching as which SIM to use if the dialed number matches regular expression specified. There is also an auto learning feature, where it will remember SIM for a number to dial.
As I said, I'm still in the process of developing this app, it's not professionally perfect but definitely does the job for now.. (It takes lot of time as I'm not an app developer & devoting time is a problem ), there are many features I want to implement in this app, but let's see when I find time. It's working perfectly on my S7E dual sim (I can't guarantee that it will work on any other device - although it should as app is built using androind 5.1 API -- I haven't tested on any other device).
If you need a copy of APK, do PM me & I'll send you one.. I've also posted same message here.
i will be interested to see the final version, ask always is working as a temporary fix.
preferred sim not working
for me if i click on a contact to call someone then it asks call from sim1 or sim 2 but i already chooses sim2 as preference. if i use swipe it is going from sim 2.

Hi!
I'm wondering if anyone has SMS running on his 2nd SIM card.
Can you enter the *#*#4636#*#* it's not possible to enter the SIMC of SIM#2 as there's only one field applying to SIM#1.
In Dual Sim settings I see an option "default sim for calling" but not "default sim for sms"
You get a choice to use the sims at the bottom when you want to send.

Previously the numbers that were in the call list was also displaying in suggestions while dialing a number. But now it is not. It only suggests contacts now.
Phone - Moto G4 plus, OS- Android - 7.0
Please suggest a solution. Thank you.
is it happening after update to 7.0???
