Is there a way to make the icon a lot larger for the primary and secondary line. So when you click on the contact it has a much bigger (P) for personal and (W) for work…. I want it to be really obvious what line I am using and the icons are a bit small???

I have already zoomed it by 15% on the screen settings…

Everything else is fine… just this needs enlarging… it would be helpful as well if like android you could set different tones for each sim without having to change it one by one in the contacts list…

Thanks…

Thanks for that answer. I’m in the same position as Matt. I work as a software engineer for a large bank and I’d like to keep strict boundaries between work and private life while using one phone. So far, my solution has been to change to a different apple ID when I get to work, and turn the data plan for my personal number off

Hi Manuel,

No, that information remains private to you and your device. However, if it’s a company device, then they could have access. And of course, if the business SIM is paid for by your company on a company plan (you are not reimbursed for the service) then the company does have access to any records of calls, texts, etc. made on the plan they pay for

Hi Zac,

Caller ID is tricky and doesn’t always show a name instead of a number, but generally, to get your business name to show instead of the phone number you need to have that number listed under your business’ name, not your name. Contact your carrier and ask them to update this information for the CNAM record.

When somebody calls you, you can differentiate which line the caller is phoning from by looking at the small one-letter icon beneath the caller’s name or number–it’s not pronounced, so you do need to look. For example, the primary line is listed as a P and the business line is listed as a B.

HI Mike,

At this time with iOS 13 and macOS Catalina, you cannot set up a custom ringtone for groups using the native Apple apps like Messages and Phone.

Besten Dank

Hi Dinesh,

While you can enter and store information for more than one eSIM plan to an iPhone, you can only use one eSIM at a time.

So dual standby would not work with two eSIMs. So, only two lines (SIM card and 1 eSIM line) can make and receive calls. This may change in the future, but not with any current version of iOS 13.

Dual standby only currently works between a physical SIM and an eSIM (or another physical SIM for dual-SIM card iPhones)

To switch eSIMs, go to Settings > Cellular or Mobile Data. Select the eSIM plan you want to use and then tap Turn On This Line.

01. can we use 1 physical sim and 2 eSim ?
02. Dual stand by works for two sims , how about using 2 eSim + 1 physical sim, do all three sims work together on standby?
03. If I want to use only eSim, (no physical sim) in a single phone, will it work on dual standby? – this is required when I am using two lines at home and if goes out of country, I can use the empty slot to buy local sim.

Hi Anthony,

You can create contact groups–one for personal and one for business. At this time, you can only do this on iCloud’s website, not on your iPhone.

You can also link your business contacts to one phone number and your personal contacts to another phone number.

HI Marco,

If you use iOS 13+ AND both your carriers (for the physical SIM and the eSIM) support WiFi calling, turn this feature on for both lines (Settings > Cellular > Cellular Plans > tap each plan > Wi-Fi Calling > Toggle on Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone). You also need to make sure that you toggle on Allow Cellular Data Switching (Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data)–even if one line does not offer data services.

When both phone numbers support Wi-Fi calling, you can answer incoming calls from either number, even when on a call. If you choose to ignore the call, you get a missed-call notification for that call and iOS routes that call to voicemail.

Hope that works for you!

At this time, you cannot set one SIM (or eSIM) to AirPlane mode without impacting the other. What you can do is turn off cellular data on that plan by going to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data > then select the plan you want to use (checkmark it) and toggle off Allow Cellular Data Switching.

You can also turn off the line by going to Settings > Cellular > Tap the line you want to turn off > Toggle Turn On this Line off.
