How to use a different SIM card for sending messages

If your phone has more than one SIM card or eSIM, and you want to send messages from a different number, you don’t need to change anything in QuickText or KDE Connect. The only thing that matters is which SIM your phone uses by default for SMS.

Set the default SIM for SMS on your Android phone

The exact steps vary depending on your phone model and Android version, but it usually looks like this:

  1. Open your phone’s Settings

  2. Go to Network & Internet, Mobile network, or Connections

  3. Look for SIM cards, SIM manager, or SIM settings

  4. Find the option to set the default SIM for SMS messages

  5. Choose the SIM or eSIM you want to use for sending

Once this is set, all SMS messages sent through QuickText will go through that number.

No setup needed in QuickText

QuickText just follows the system default. You don’t need to change anything inside the Excel file or in KDE Connect.
