Separate eSIM for data only?

[JohnKoz]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to add an eSIM from a provider like Saily or Holafly to offload the data service (only).

All the instructions I've seen show a SIM manager that allows the assignment of services (calls, SMS, data) to different SIMs.

However, on my S23 (Android 16) there is only a choice for a single primary SIM.

It does not look like I can assign CALLS and SMS to one SIM, and DATA to the other eSIM - is this correct?

Is this a change or restriction?

Thanks

The option may not show up unless you have two active SIMs in your phone.

😏Ha, sorry I thought I was being succinct by not posting the entire screenshot. Absolutely, I do have an eSIM added.

Good thought though!

My guess is that this must be a US thing. The screenshot in your original post may be from a non-US phone. 🙁

Hope others with two SIMs can clarify. I too am thinking about adding a cheap data sim with long validity and hope it works as intended.

I have been annoyed by this problem since I got the phone. It's ridiculous to hide the native Android feature and only give user control over the "primary sim" setting. There is no way to use one for call/text and the other for data unless rooting the phone I guess.

Ok, what's your point?

I've said in my original post that I don't have this option, that the problem.
