Hi guys, just thought I'd share this. Not sure if it's a functionality issue or what.
I've got lon29c636. Still on nougat.
When I set up a sim card for call forwarding and then replace the sim with the Sim card which calls are forwarded to, the call forwarding doesn't work. Which is really annoying because it worked perfectly well on my mate 8. I've always had more than 2 sim cards but obviously with the mate series we only have the luxury of using 2 at the same time. Other than throwing away my other s card does anyone have any ideas or have the same problem.....not buying a third handset by the way. Call forwarding should be fairly simple as it was on my mate 8, S2,S3,S4 and S5.
Thanks for reading, I'd love some ideas or suggestions. Cheers

If you are talking about "call forwarding between SIMs" than it will not work if you remove the SIM card. You need to contact your service provider and ask them to enable call forwarding for your SIM card from their side.

Hi all,
just wondering about an issue, that must concern many who have two SIMcards, one for business and one private.
I normally have my private SIM card in the device (TRION), so that when I call friends, they see its me through my caller ID. I have my business SIM card diverted, so calls are transferred to my private number.
The trouble is, I cant see on which card the call is coming in, since I cant allways identify if its a business or private call by the caller ID in my display, cause sometimes I just dont knwo the number or there isnt any. After hours I just dont want to take business calls, but taking out the diversion is to much effort.
Nokia devices have a little arrow that indicates this. Does anyone have a clue for WM5 ??
Greetings
Paddy
I've got excactly the same question. I already thought about connecting a second device with the buisness card to my pc at home and enable/disable the diversion with the help of a webinterface (and call it via start menu).
Anybody outthere, that knows a fix ?
I would be extremly grateful! donateful ;-)

I've the same question .
I've got an S5 Duos and want to know if it's possible to natively (or with an app) set specific contacts in my phone to a specific SIM automatically? i.e. it will auto call or text a contact using SIM 1 each and every time?
I use SIM 1 for my day to day usage calling family, works colleagues etc but I also have tenants who I only call or text using SIM 2 (I don't want them to have my other number on SIM 1) so want to keep them separate. I've looked everywhere but can't find a way to do this other than using the utterly useless Chomp SMS which mixes up SIM1 and SIM2 randomly and regularly, without warning which causes no end of issues.
It's such a simple an obvious issue I cannot believe Samsung haven't written this into the phone as standard.
Anyone got any feedback on this for what must be a really common issue?

Thanks but I've already tried this and it doesn't work. Won't lock a contact to a particular SIM even when you set it to. The phone still asks which SIM to use before sending which is what I wanted to avoid.
Hi Guys,
Long story short: my company is providing a very nice SIM with unlimited data and calls. Unfortunately there are very annoying clients and colleagues which are calling out of working hours.
So I would like to know if there is a way to block all incoming call and keep the data alive only on one SIM (meanwhile the other SIM -private- should be able to receive calls).
I have already tried one app called Root Call SMS Manager but unfortunately the app is a little bit buggy and is disconnecting the line randomly.
So you have any leads? Suggestions?
Thanks a lot!!!

Make a absolutely call forwarding on your own number of this sim. That's a loop and all callers will get busy [emoji1]

Hey Strongs,
Thanks for the lead! But I tried that way as well. It is a corporate number and USSD codes seems not to be effective. I have tried with *21* code and didn't work out. Also tried thru the Call settings menu and same cold dish. Do you know any other ways? I am on Telekom Germany carrier.
If call forwarding is blocked by the carrier I gotta find a way to do thru software I am afraid :\

I'm using this code **21*YourNumber# for absolutely call forwarding

OK, then **21*MYNUMBER# should forward all the calls on Telekom Germany? Which code are you using to revert it back?
Thanks a lot!

I forwarded with this code to my own number to get a loop.
Edit: I forgot to say, that you need one more sim to get the loop working.
So forward from sim1 to sim2 and from sim2 to sim1. Than the callers reaching on sim1 get busy.

Im not really sure how duel sim works, i did a brief search but couldnt find the answer i was looking for.
I have a work phone and a personal phone. If the 6t has duel sim am i able to put the sim from my work and personal in it and receive calls and messages from each on the single device? Would i have to switch between which sim i want to use or can both be active at the same time?
Thanks in advance

What would be the point of having a dual SIM if you had to physically switch them? You can use them both evidently.

It's called dual standby.
Both are in the phone, one is the primary the other is secondary.
Primary has all functions including data. Secondary is only calls and SMS.
Primary/Secondary can be switched.

This is correct. If you want to read up on it Google DSDS (dual sim dual standby) DSDA (dual sim dual active). From everything I've read DSDA is less common these days and it required 2 imei's whereas DSDS only requires one imei. A lot of the switching is software based. Any further technical reading is beyond me.
It's great. You do have to pay attention though; it opens up a a new vector to text or call the wrong person when juggling multiple communications.
There are 2 IMEI on the 6t, meaning DSDA
I have some questions about dual sim also...Never used one before. We are considering getting a 6T for my wife because she has her personal phone (T-Mobile) and her work phone (AT&T) that she carries around everywhere. From reading these threads I understand how the calls and data work I think...You only get data on one at a time, but calls in or out on both. But what about contacts from two different carriers (T-Mo) and (AT&T)? Does it just bury them all together or does it separate the two to keep things apart? Thanks in advance for any insight on this and anything else I may need to know about using dual sims.

What do you mean about contacts from the two carriers?
Are they located in two separate google accounts?
Is one set on Outlook and the other on Google?
I'm using the phone on T-Mobile and Verizon and calls and SMS use intelligent routing/return based on the SIM the call/SMS was received.
You do need to turn on that option.
As far as contacts. If you have two Google accounts, I'm not sure.
My Outlook contacts stay in the app and when I dial them I use SIM2 as my personal contacts are Google and all are SIM1.
Hope that helps.

Thanks...It does kind of help, I guess when I'm able to actually see it I will understand it better. I was just worried about my wife's contacts personal and work getting all grouped together under one. Her work phone is Android also but I'm not sure if her work contacts are in the google account or outlook.
Is anyone using Red Pocket CDMA? Will I have to contact Red Pocket for CDMA_LESS to have text messaging working? My 6t arrives today and I am beginning to wonder if it will even work with Red Pocket CDMA. I was going to put my activated sim from my axon7 into the 6twhen I get it and hope it works.
So I got the phone today. Data works but can't make or recevive calls/text. Waiting to see if Red Pocket can do anything.

You may need to program in the APN settings for texting and calls. I am unfamiliar with Red Pocket, but searched the APN settings for them:

Hopefully this helps
Edit: I believe CDMA APN settngs are at the bottom of that link.

Thanks. The sim card needed to be replaced. Something about it locked to 3g or a 3g only card. It's all working now except for receiving sms messages. Redpocket has a ticket open to see if they can find a way to add CDMA_less provisioning.

Does Red Pocket use Verizon towers? If so theres been a few articles about a temp fix:
https://piunikaweb.com/2018/11/06/o...ng-issues-receiving-sms-mms-but-theres-a-fix/
Were you able to get the 6T to work completely with red pocket?
I'm attempting to use redpocket (CDMA/Verizon) as well. Sim card is activated and I get data service, but no voice or text. It won't let me change my APN settings. I guess I'll need to call them and get a new sim card like was mentioned earlier in the thread.
The op has the correct CDMA bands for VZW, but unfortunately they are not active. This is a shame as where I work sometimes, CDMA is only available. Not sure why the f CDMA is not active.
So I had the issue with no calls/texts, but data was working on redpocket (verizon version). I called their customer service and told them my symptoms and they got calls and outgoing texts working almost immediately without a new sim card. Apparently we can't update the APN settings because they're automatically fixed on the 6t. Incoming SMS still doesn't work. I asked about CDMA_Less setting, and got a hard "no". Who knows if that's the truth, but the tech I was talking to said it wasn't possible even after consulting his IT guy.
Good news! I was able to get Red Pocket to add the CDMA_LESS feature and now my phone is running smooth as butter! I had some issues so I will explain how I overcame those!
First I couldn't activate my voicemail. By activating this you are activating your phone pretty much. Every time I went to select 1 for English as my language it said I submitted an invalid choice. So I threw my sim in an unlocked iPhone SE and activated the voicemail. I then threw the sim back in my 6t and was able to do everything except receive texts.
So then I contacted Red Pocket. I wasn't expecting much but I let them know clearly that I could do everything except receive texts. I said I just needed the CDMA_LESS feature added. She said my iPhone SE was showing as active so she updated my IMEI on my account and then added the feature. So after restarting my device all is up and running!

Nice! I gave up 5 months ago trying to get the CDMA_LESS added by Red Pocket & switched to their 'AT&T' sim. Not as good as the VZW service, but at least I got texts. Maybe I'll try & switch back...
Thanks for letting us know its possible. Question When you activated the sim on the verison unlocked iphone. Did you enter the activation info again about sim and IMEI of the iphone. Or did you just pop in the sim and made the setup 1st call.
I just tried with a pixel 3 unlocked and I still cant get past activating the sim when I press 1 for English.
So any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to know the answer. Failed to activate with a Oneplus 6T after 20 chats with CS. They said they activated cdma less but I still can't press 1 to activate. I also tried with my friend's iphone and it didn't work either. I now wonder if I need the cdma less deactivated to succeed activate with an iphone...
