Hi everyone,
I am currently using WhatsApp on 1 device with a UK SIM card. I want to switch to my Brazilian SIM card and use WhatsApp with that (seperate) account on the same device, but still have the facility to switch back and forth between the two when I change the SIM card over.
But WhatsApp now has a feature to "make changing number easy" which I think converts the account to a new number. Does anyone know how to do it differently?

Hello, all!
Here is the problem... I was traveling abroad with my SGS2 and was using domestic SIM that I bought locally. Once I received call from local number that my phone detected not in international format (like 891XXXXX). I have added this number into my contacts using full international format (+791XXXX) and everything was fine as long as I stayed abroad. Now I got back home and tried to SMS this number from my contacts.
Unfortunately, even in contacts the number is in international format, Messaging application for some reason every time takes the old one (891XXXXX).
I have tried delete messaging thread and create new thread from number stored in contacts, but this bastard still takes old number (stored somewhere I don't know where).
Has anybody got such problem? Is there any solutions available?
Regards,
Dima
I have found another thread describing exactly the same problem. So far, it's unknown how to deal with that.
Obviously if you want to txt the international number from your home country it has to be recognized in international format so what you could do is delete the number from your phone and rewrite it in international format to your sim card then copy it to your phone.I imagine now that you are back home you have a local sim card again but if you havnt changed it then check that you dont have the old number on it.
Hi there, I have a SIM card that supports two phone numbers. All I have to do is go to the Sim Toolkit, select the 2in1 menu and it swaps from mobile #1 and mobile #2. Basically, it forwards call from one number to the other.
My problem is that everything related to calls (timers, counters, history, etc.) is lost when I swap between the 2 lines. Also when I go to see my contacts, every time it says that a new SIM has been detected and if I want to copy the contacts from the SIM to the phone.
Is there a fix about this? The phone is the Alcatel 995.
Thank you in advance.
This phone is Dual SIM or works with one only? Maybe it's SIM problem because is 2 different numbers. Android thinks there is a new SIM on the phone, so this cannot be fixed.

No, the phone is not Dual Sim. Its just one sim and with the SIM Toolkit you can change between the two phone numbers. Is there at least some application that keeps its own call history and doesnt read it from the stock android app?
Thanks.
Hi there, I am searching for an app that can keep a call log in its own database and not read the one off the phone.
My problem is that I have a 2in1 sim card and whenever I switch from one phone number to the other with the Sim Toolkit, the phone thinks that the sim changed and resets my call log.
Another problem it has (for which I dont really care) is that whenever I enter the Contacts app, it says, new sim detected, copy new contacts to phone? but thats nothing.
Thanks.
Hi,
Having issues with setting preferred SIM on individual contacts? It seems to remember when I set SIM 2 for some time, but then everything just defaults back to SIM 1, regardless of which SIM that contact usually calls in on. All of my contacts are either on Google sync or Exchange sync.
Anyone else? I'm on stock ROM v1.72.
I have the exact same problem. Came here searching for a solution after two weeks ago I put a second SIM into my Z7 mini. Although I select SIM 2 as default communication card and I select the switch in all contacts to card 2 it stucks to card 1 and ignores all the settings. Only disabling card 1 lets me call with the second card.
In my case I have a Z7 mini with stock ROM 1.76
Has anyone found a solution for this?

Yes. Apparently one of the apps for my workplace insisted on synching all contacts every 24h. I fixed it by exporting all contacts to my Google account and the problem disappeared.

Not an option for me Actually I have to set card 1 and card 2 back and forth for every contact until I see that I'm calling with the proper card. Either that or disable one card, call and re-enable it and re-set all card configuration. Not the way it should be but...
Hi folks,
WhatsApp now has a smart new feature when you get a new phone number to update your account with this new number.
However, what if my new SIM card I want to be a separate WhatsApp account in the same device. When I insert SIM A it runs account A, when I insert SIM B it runs account B. Any idea how to do this?
