How Dual SIM Works on the Galaxy S23 Ultra

[@bxp1696]

Question: If someone is calling you, does the phone let you know which # they are calling you on? Meaning, will it let you know which line is getting the incoming call ?

[@IAmJe]

I wish Dual physical SIM was an option. I enjoyed seeing the SMS and dialer visually. I wish you would have showed, discused, and or showed what it's like texting while on a call or getting a call on one line while on the other, and how is visual voicemail treated for both lines

[@thatone3809]

it's an option if you buy an international phone

[@Skydiva692]

Wow! I just received my S23 ultra today. I will definitely have to refer back to this video for help. Lol! I have T-Mobile also who gave me an e sim I will definitely look into the physical sim later. Thank you!

[@notjustanyagent]

Excellent video! Very clear explanation of the dual sim process!

[@hinteregions]

Thanks for that. So when next I travel outside Australia I'll probably want a second sim because Vodafone coverage and service is not the best, would I be right in thinking a Google e-sim is the way to go? I really want less Google in my life 😖

[@universootn]

I'll always prefer dual phisical sim

[@zoteck2294]

Why?

[@universootn]

@@zoteck2294 because it’s more simple to exchange without any software, web or company procedure

[@travelandhustle127]

Well it receive phone calls from both lines seamlessly? Or does the phone need to be told which is active

[@Rolfthewild]

​@@zoteck2294Because if you own the phone you shouldn't need permission from your carrier to swap sims. And at that it should only take seconds to do not 30 mins to an hour. I've always considered E Sim to be a downgrade despite it sounding like an upgrade it's really just a useless feature that was never needed to begin with.

[@skitzoid99]

Thanks, best description of dual sim I've seen so far! They are of course pushing 24 now, do you know if the 24 ultra also performs well with dual sim in the US? Or should i look for last years model?

[@fahimrayaan9270]

Question: I used e-sim as primary sim. But I want to use mobile data on secondary sim . How can I switch mobile data!

[@iLive27]

Was your Galaxy S23 Ultra purchased unlocked from carrier or Samsung directly? I'm having difficulty using dual sim on my unlocked S23 Ultra?

[@ang794]

Will I be able to see what number recieved what text messages? This is going to be helpful for my moms buisness so she doesn't carry two phones. She has a Note 10+ and when I set it up for her i know she has dual sim! This is such a helpful video. Thanks in Advance!

[@steveyjay8657]

Does this have to be a 'dual sim' model? Samsung seems to still be selling those (I'm assuming two physical sims). Or can I just buy any USA unlocked s23 and it will have dual sim functionality after I setup the lines? Thanks for the video

[@Joliet-TV]

Very nice video! Can you tell us what Item model number you have? I am assuming you have the international model, I’m not sure if that’s what you have, but it will help to make sure that phone will works with the 2 radio networks used by wireless carriers. GSM, CDMA

[@mindlessftw]

So if I'm understanding you, would it be possible to get a 2gb plan for my phone and unlimited data plan for wife's phone and just duel sim her number to my phone just for data, would that work or not. If possible I'd like a way to shut off from getting her text and calls to my phone as well

[@steventrog1078]

Could i use 2 phone numbers with the same carrier on this phone.

[@jeradtech]

Yes. Just need two lines from that carrier.

[@michaelspoto602]

Great video.. How does voicemail (visual voicemail) work? 2 different apps?

[@jeradtech]

Same app handles both. Shows the line icon so you can differentiate between the two.

[@DZ-cq3gs]

​@@jeradtechdo you have issues with the dual switch changing the primary SIM when you check the secondary SIM's VM? It is quite glitchy on my brand new Z Fold 5

[@Ladykyra101]

Thank you for this video. Very informative. In light of AT&T's outages in 2024, ugh, I'm considering this. Have S22U, so it's dual sim. 👍🏾

[@pjc4425]

My primary carrier is Sim1 = Physical Sim. Reason for that is simple , if device breaks I can place physical sim in my backup device.

[@ebenezerajinihi9591]

How can I insert two physical Sims into my s23 ultrA?

[@ezdavillan]

Does a dual sim takes anything from the regular device in terms of features?

[@ClintEastonz]

If you use an app that forces you to allow access to your contacts, can you differentiate which contacts are used for each specific line?

[@Happyoldfashionfamily]

Thank you. I have always loved my samsung way more than my work iphone. I use the iphone because of the imessage for my important customer. Now that rcs works i want to move my work number over as a second line. Can you set the phone up, lets say like 2 phones in 1? Separate photo albums, separate ringers for each line and lastly, if i done answer the work line can it be forwarded to my answering service? Without forwarding my personal line. Also. Can the ringer be silensed for one line vs the other? If you know these answers that is awesome, if not, any one else do this kind of thing? Thanks much

[@kelvindean]

The U/U1 variants of the Galaxy S23 phones are now US only in terms of SIM card support. If you plan to use a SIM card from another country, you'll need another device to cover it (unless you have an eSIM from Germany or Sweden in which you can keep your current device).

[@tatsuo91]

My S23 Ultra U1 variant disagrees whit your comment, physical Sim from Claro and eSim from US carrier.

[@dawnmloth6600]

Any suggestions for getting visusl voicemail to work with both the physical sim and the esim? Per t mobile, i cannot see get visual voicemail with my esim.

[@DZ-cq3gs]

Did you find a solution? I am running into the same problem.

[@dawnmloth6600]

@@DZ-cq3gs sort of/not really. I have all voice mails set to be sent to me as a text message and as an email. Doing it this way, none of my voice mails are transcribed to the visual voicemail app.

[@aantony]

To be very clear, you are saying that your US S23 has a single-sided sim card tray? The dual sim versions place the sims on either side of the tray and it may not look like dual sim if you are used to seeing the dual sim tray that have them side-by-side

[@multyz1]

US has single sim and European versions have dual sim.

[@P0rtugueseRedM00n]

​@@multyz1bo european versons also have one. Total bs this

Hi!. When receiving a call, Do you know on which number you are receiving the call?

[@jeradtech]

Yes, it displays the line name on the incoming call screen.

[@bikerworld2471]

[@whitneym.6941]

Can you still receive calls while talking on one line and another call from the other line?

I thought all carriers allowed data use while on a phone call now? Years ago that wasn't possible.

[@SuperStaley]

Does anybody know if you can use dual sim when using Android for Work Profile and use secondary sim for call, text and data?

So you're using the Apple Watch ultra with a Samsung phone too? I really love the AW Ultra, but hate the iPhone. My primary device is the S23U, while the 14 Pro sits, and just used for video for projects. Thinking of switching back to Garmin.

[@kevkeisha]

I purchased my Galaxy s22 ultra from Samsung directly in the US. Does the Galaxy s22 ultra have dual eSim? The specs seem to say yes. I currently use Google Fi as my primary, but Verizon is the strongest in my neighborhood. I would like the opportunity to add Verizon as a second service.

[@jeradtech]

I'm not sure. I could never get it to work even though it was listed in the specs. The S23 is the first one since there used to be dual SIM slots.

[@Only1Jenda]

My sister has her phone updated to this however is not accepting her physical SIM card :Metro she watched KZbin videos but still can’t get it to work

[@DZ-cq3gs]

Set VZW as the primary SIM. It'll use that for data. Then go to contacts and select all, and choose your att SIM as the default for calls. You'll have to add new contacts as you go for that preference but it works well enough.

Ok I'm pissed off. I have a s23 ultra my tray cant take 2 sims only 1

I hope Google fi is ok with using dual sim and it does not affect the $600 credit they are giving.

It doesn't I purchased my S23 Ultra with the credit. It's a different IMEI so Google Fi has no idea what the other IMEI is doing. Also, the promotion is still counting down in days for me so no issues there.

[@nicholasjack3179]

Great video. Got a really specific question about the Dual-SIM which no one is able to answer. This is the only reason why I have to stay with my iPhone. My scenario: I have an iPhone with one ATT eSIM (for data) and another physical SIM (main line) from a German carrier. My German line is my business and primary line. I use ATT only for data in the US. I changed the Network Selection on the German carrier from "automatic" to manual...then choose a carrier which it will not able to connect to. This forces the iPhone to always have WIFI calling over cellular data. So now I have 24/7 WIFI Calling with my German line in the US or all over the world, avoiding any expensive calls. Is this somehow possible to force on the the Samsung S23??Please say yes so I can run in the next store ;-) One more important thing. I know this is not possible with all carriers (like Verizon) since they will deactivate the manual carrier selection on iPhones and Samsungs. But the German carrier is pretty nice ;-)

I did not think the S23 had a dual SIM version and you video clarifies to me that I was right. an eSIM is not a SIM which is why you talk so much about carrier problems. A dual SIM phone does not have carrier problems. Neither of my carriers allow eSIMs
