Hiding SIM contacts

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.

help with my wing

i was directed by another user to come here and ask this question...
i put my contacts on my phone.. and now they show up twice. once for the phone, and once for the sim card. and if i try to erase the sim one, it wants to permantly delete it from my sim card. and havin it on there twice is just pointless.. but i cant save email adresses or nothin with just the sim one..
so my question is.. can i hide the sim application numbers, so that all that shows is the contacts that are saved only on the phone..?..
if anyone can help.. id apericate it.. thanks..

After flashing new roms to my wing, a few times my contacts have duplicated themselves. I just select all "contacts" and delete from the phone. Then move to sim manager and select all and "save to contacts." It clears out all the duplicated "phone" contacts, and resaves from the sim. Any phone contacts you haven't backed up to your simcard will be lost, though, so check that your sim is up to date.

[Q] where i can found puk 2 code?

Hi to everyone and thanxs to doixanh for making gb rom, but after install that i can´t import my contacts from the sim card.
The phone ask for a "puk 2" code and i have the "puk" code I ask to the provider but they doesn´t answer me yet.
Sorry to bother you but if anyone can help me that will be apreciated, see ya and have a long life and prosper

We can't help you. It's strange how provider didn't give you PINs and PUKs with SIM card.

PIN and PUK come with the card.. PIN2 and PUK2 are exclusive to your provider (at least some). Call them and ask if you can have it.. In portugal we can't..
EDIT: btw, if you insert a certain number of wrong puk2 codes, your card will be permanently disabled and you'll need a new one..

Best solution for Dual Sim

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.
