Hi there,
I came from LG G5 phone and there's a cool tool on the stock ROM to affect a contact to a default SIM card so if you call him, it auto select the good one.
I use a personnal SIM and a pro one and I call by mistake my client or colleagues with my personnal one
Is there a tool or app that can be used for that case ?

Is there anyway to hide the contacts saved on your SIM?
That is, at the moment I have all my contacts saved on the phone with their full details, I also have a basic copy of my contacts saved on my SIM for when the SIM is placed into my second phone (Small phone used when out on the beer :wink: )
But when I open up the Caller ID contacts by default it shows all contacts, both on phone and SIM so I end up getting duplication.
I know I can set the view to Contacts only every time I go into it but I would prefer a more default way of doing it.
Also I'm finding that Caller ID contacts takes a while to open and list all contacts even when my SIM card is empty, is this normal?
Thanks for any help.
A bit off topic, but
Here in germany I can get duplicate sims, so i have one phone for the weekend, and one for work, with both the same number, and the last one i just used or switched on is active. Try that for the UK :wink:
duplicate sims
What make of sim?
. I tried the "magic" multi sim, but the hash is incompatiuble with vodafone(uk). There is probably a hack, but I can't find it.
I dont think any of the sims in UK work with the multi sims or similar products because they use the latest protection, I ended up with 3 destroyed sims while trying. I got in touch with the makers in hong kong and they confirmed that uk sims will not work unless somebody comes up with new software for hacking/cloning.
Can anyone point me to a calling card application for TP2 (WM6.5). I've used one on the Excalibur but I dont remember the name of the app. It is extremely useful to dial internation numbers with a calling card application especially when driving
I use the one from Sunnysoft.
Not free, but cheap enough.
Works very well, and will pop up when dialling a international number and ask if you want to dial out via a calling card (you can have multiple setup)

Hello developers,
Let me first sketch out the situation:
I'm a student from the netherlands and I study in Belgium. Every weekend I drive back home to work, and on sunday I go back to Belgium.
To save money on roaming I have a magic sim 26th generation dual sim adapter in my phone so I can switch to my Belgian number when I'm in Belgium and to my Dutch number when I'm in the Netherlands.
The menu to switch between the sim cards can be found under the sim toolkit program.
The sim switching has 2 options:
- stk mode: sim switching is done by choosing the corresponding option in the sim toolkit menu
- 007 mode: sim switching is done by saving either a contact named 001 with the number 001 to the sim for sim1, or 002 for sim2
What I'm looking for is an app that can:
- switch sims automatically between countries, I think it's the best to do this by checking if the card is roaming and if so switch to the other sim
- optional: 'lock' one of the two sims via a menue so that when I'm in belgium I can still choose to use my dutch number (I can offcourse also just close the app and use the normal menu)
I don't think the app is very hard to make, but as I have absolutely no coding experience.. Offcourse I am willing to pay for the app, it's gonna save me a lot of money on roaming costs!
If someone is interested in coding this, reply here or send me a personal message/email.
Thanks in advance!
Nobody interested?
Sounds kind of interesting. Can you explain 007 mode a little more.
The 007 mode works like this:
First you have to switch to 007 mode. This is done by tapping the 007 mode option in the sim toolkit menu.
Next when you save a contact with the name '001' and phonenumber '001' to your simcard (not the google contacts), the magic sim notices this and switches to sim card 1.
When you want to switch back to sim2 you save a contact with the name '002' and phonenumber '002' to your simcard (not the google contacts), the magic sim notices this and switches to sim card 2.
When you want to switch back to sim toolkit mode you save a contact with the name '007' and phonenumber '007' to your simcard (not the google contacts), the magic sim notices this and switches to stk mode.
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.

Hello,
I am thrilled by the idea to merge my work phone and my private phone into one device. That's why I collected much information over the past weeks about dual sim phones and even got myself a testing device.
I am currently sitting in front of a Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) and have been setting it up the past hours.
The result is disillusioning at best.
I am therefore seeking the help of you dual sim pros out there.
Is there any device/software which allows me to strictly split
contacts
dialer
messages
For contacts it would be great to have an app with the option to switch between work and private contacts by pressing just one button instead of being forced to dig through the settings to change the contact group to be displayed.
The dialer should work similarly and therefore just show calls from/to either my work or my private sim.
Messages should be shwon seperately for every sim card as well.
After having done my research I tend to believe that Samsung has the best out of the box software for dual sim support with "dual messaging". But it still is a pain in the ass to be honest.
Then there are paralell space and the alike but do not seem to be good solutions either.
There must be some convenient solution that I haven't found. I refuse to believe that all dual sim users are getting along with these hurdles.
Please tell me I'm right!
Best regards
Dietmar

In contact you can group it into your work/private. In dialer you can set up call always ask it will ask you about you want call using sim 1 or sim 2.Like for me, im using sim 1 for private and sim 2 for other.Then in message i dont think so you can seperate it.But you choose sim 1 or sim 2 to send the message.About the dual messenger are limited to certain app like whatsapp, fb, & etc..and this is all about i know hope it will help you a little bit.Here the screenshot attached.

What you're asking for could be solved by using the "secure folder" feature. Or Android's built in "Multi user mode" feature, but samsung doesn't include it in their stock ROMs. You can root to add it and create a separate google account for the other user account.
