If you cannot switch between SIM 1 and SIM 2 when dialling a number, perform the following steps:
1. Check whether the two SIM cards can both be identified
If your phone does not display the signal bars of two carriers, it is possible that only one of your two SIM cards has been identified. In this case, remove and then re-insert the SIM cards. Refer to the link below for further guidance:
