When you are using dual SIM, here are the things you should know:

  • Turn on Wi-Fi Calling for a line if you want to enable this line to receive calls when the other line is in a call. If you get a call on one line and the other is in use for a call, but there is no available Wi-Fi connection, the iPhone will use the cellular data of the line that is in use. This way will let your device receive the other call, and charges may apply.
  • Open your Cellular Data settings and make sure that you allow the line that is in use for a call to share the data use. It can be the default line or the non-default line by turning the “Allow Cellular Data Switching” on. This way will help your device to get the call from the other line.

  • In case you are using another device, for example, your Mac, to make a call through your iPhone with the support of Dual SIM, then you can make the call by using your default voice line.
  • For the users that start using one line for SMS or MMS messages conversation, they cannot switch the conversation to their other line. However, they have to delete the conversation first and then start a new one by using the other line. Additionally, you may get more charges anytime you send SMS or MMS attachments using the line that is not selected for using the cellular data.
  • Personal Hotspot and Instant Hotspot use the line chosen for the cellular data.
