Preferred Sim for Messaging - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't find preferred sim setting for messaging in the dual sim settings on ZF2!
Everyone knows there is option to choose to send message from sim1 or sim2 when sending the message manually.
But it is needed for messaging (when using tasker or when anyother app wants to send a message from your phone).
Any one have a work around of some kind?
Thanks.

Need help SMS/Calling in Dual sim

I can't seem to send messages on SIM2 or choose how my call gets through, there is no sim icon in either messaging or in the call settings. I have H818N.
I can assign contacts permanently to either SIM - which gets used for calling but not for SMS.
Also any way to assign SMS also to particular sim for particular contacts?
EDIT: I can change global setting on which sim to use through the notification icons, but any way to do it on a per call/sms basis?
PS1: I have updated the firmware to the latest version
PS2: Any dual sim good SMS app?
Same problem here on h818n.
Did you find out yet?
As you said, you can assign the default sim for calls and sms from the quicksettings in the status bar dropdown. Couldn't find a way to make the dialer just ask wich sim to use each time tho.
As sms app i like the Google Messenger app.
As dialer i'm trying TrueDialer.
On both u can tap the sim icon and pick a sim b4 calling\sending the sms.
Has this issue been solved through software updates by LG, Or do we have to resort to using third party apps?
Nopes not yet. I still can't put a default sim for SMS. Also if I have set a default sim for a contact, I can only use that sim, which is a major inconvenience. There should be an easy way to call from the other sim.
Also would suggest using the default sms app - dual sim support of other apps is sketchy at best.

How to Remove Auto SIM Selection

Hi,
I have an issue that some of the contacts in my phone-book use only 1 SIM for calling without asking for SIM.
I have selected "Ask First" option for calling in the settings also. I need the normal pop-up SIM selection menu for all contacts before calling.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.

Stock Dialler questions

Hi,
I have a couple of questions about the stock dialler on OP3 running 3.5.4 CB.
1. When using 2 SIMs, Can we select the default SIM for a out going call for contacts at one go ?
Currently when I select the number for a call, a pop up (Call with ) shows up with option to select one of the two SIMs and a check box to "Always use this for calls" lets me do that. I would like to know if this can be done somewhere else, say at the contact detail level? how would i change the option once set using the current method?
2. In the Dialler, what does All calling accounts setting do? clicking on it shows a blank screen. Is it related to SIP accounts?
Dialler -> Settings -> Call settings ->All calling accounts.
Cheers.

That is for all outgoing calls. I am looking at setting default SIM1 for some contacts and SIM2 for others.

You need an app to do that.
I use "Dual SIM Selector" and it works pretty well.

dual sim and choosing card for a call

Hi.
In a dual sim phone there is an option to choose a default card for calls or not to, with a must to do it before taking a call.
Is there a way to set some of the contacts (fe. favourite ones) to be automatically called through sim card 1, and the rest, to be called through the card I choose while making a call?
Thanks.
I can't find an option on the default dialler
I don't believe that's a system setting/option. It would have to be in the phone/diar app, which isn't on the stock one. Or a dual sim app that has it and I don't know of any.

They're talking about having select contacts (not all calls) set to always use a certain sim then for the rest of the contacts or when dialing a number not in contacts to always be asked what sim to use. Like a mix of the two options. When you select a default calling sim then ALL call use that sim until you change that setting, which isn't the same thing they asked.

Add phone number to sim card?

I try to use Samsungs Private Share app and it gives me this error:
"You can't use Private Share because we can't read your phone number from your SIM, which we use as an ID. Contact the service provider for your SIM card and ask them to add your phone number to your SIM as the MSISDN."
I have talked to my phone operator 3 times and they tell me that the setup in their system looks good.
And when I look under "About phone" it says unknown phone number. I already got a new sim card, but no luck.
Any thoughts, guys?
Thank you in advance

I think it's a validation thingy, try this:
Open contacts, press the 3 dashesand select the gear on the top right (Settings on the contacts app).
Select "Share profile pictures"
It will ask youto activate profile sharing and will verify your number via SMS (kinda like 2 factor) after you do that the number will be verified and will appear on the phone settings.

Same with my s22 ultra. Esim number unknown. Sim 1 is ok. Please let me know if you find any solution
Try this.
Try clearing the data in Sim toolkit, network reset and clear the system cache from the boot menu.
