Change Default SIM for SMS/Text in your Xiaomi Phone

[aldrin06gemini]

If you can't change the default SIM, here's the workaround.

1. Set the SIM card (which you want to set as default for SMS messages) as default for Calls and Internet,
2. Temporarily disable the other SIM card,
3. Send a message to anyone,
4. Re-enable your other SIM card,
5. Re-adjust the default SIM settings which you changed in step 1.

* It still does not affect the conversations in which you have already sent messages using other SIM card.
** Step 1 is required for step 2.

Thank you for sharing this workaround for changing the default SIM for SMS messages on Xiaomi phones. This method seems like a practical way to temporarily set a preferred SIM card for sending text messages. By setting the desired SIM card as default for calls and internet before temporarily disabling the other SIM card, you can ensure that SMS messages are sent using the intended SIM card.

It's important to note that this workaround may not affect conversations in which messages have already been sent using the other SIM card. Users should keep this in mind when switching between SIM cards for sending SMS messages.

Overall, this workaround provides a method for users to temporarily adjust the default SIM card for SMS messages on Xiaomi phones until a more direct solution is available. Thank you for sharing this helpful tip with the community!
