Gi everyone. I have Samsung S22 ultra. Is it possible to disable Roaming on 1 SIM but keep roaming active on esim? I can only find one toggle for Roaming which applies for both sims together.

This is what we're talking about, see how in the left side of your image you can set a sim for calls, messages and mobile data?  We don't have that.  Samsung removed it at some point in North America for whatever reason.  All we can do is select which sim is preferred for everything and the roaming option applies to both SIMs.  So it's effectively been crippled into a single sim device.

i can confirm this problem, there is NO WAY to disable roaming per sim. This option is more than needed given the price we pay for getting a samsung phone. S24 Ultra Here, One UI 6.1

Please bring it back.

As users, we don't want to have to click 50 options to try to "mimick" this behavior. Just keep this existing stock Android behavior.

Also, totally disabling the SIM (on which we want the roaming off) is not a workaround that we want, since we might still want to receive calls, imagine an emergency call or sms, we can not afford to completely make it off.

 

Many other forums already talk of this problem. PLEASE SAMSUNG implement this feature. 

Stock Android does it already, even Pixel make it. Why did you change such a native feature from Android ?

I am also experiencing this issue.

When I have two physical SIMs installed, I can choose individually whether they roam or not (see screenshots).

However, when I'm using one physical SIM and one eSIM, I can either have both roaming or neither roaming (see screenshots).

When I visited Mexico from the UK recently, I incurred a lot of roaming charges from my home network in the UK. I had bought a Mexican eSIM through Airalo, so I would have data while away.

It all worked fine, until I realised I was still being charged by my home network Three. To avoid these charges, I had to turn my home SIM off completely so the roaming setting would only apply to my eSIM.

This was frustrating because it meant I couldn't receive any phone calls or SMS to my regular number.

It would be great if roaming settings functioned the same way for physical and eSIMs when two are active. I.e. you can individually select which SIM is roaming and which isn't.

Thanks,

I'm having this problem now. Just found out that my SIM2 was using data roaming when I thought it wasn't just SIM1 being used.
Now all the credit I had on my SIM2 has been used because of this. Samsung really needs to have the option brought back where you can turn the roaming off on the sim you don't want to use roaming.
