If I respond to a text or call the dual sim settings on my phone "SIM card manager" are ignored and default to the sim that the call or text originated.

Hi, I see the same behaviour in S22 plus for SMS and in a way it makes sense. Imagine that you receive an SMS from someone on SIM 1 number and you reply back to them with your SIM 2 number - although you will have one view of the conversation, the other person will have 2 separate views of your messages ( from SIM 1 and SIM 2).

You should still be able to change the SIM that you want to reply with. After you have opened the message, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner and change the SIM. Check if you have this setting in your phone.

For new messages that you compose, the default SIM is selected ( I suppose you also experience the same).

The above behavior I call problematic. If I reply, I want to reply using the preferred SIM. In an era where things are called "smart phones" the behavior becomes more stupid. The least I expect when replying to a message received on the lower prioritized SIM is that it shows me a pop up if I want to reply using the preferred SIM or not. Detecting what SIM the message received is nearly invisible. So the least I want is a clear indicator what SIM is used to reply. I give example: two SIM for 2 countries. To avoid roaming cost, I set default SIM when I change country. But it still causes me to pay massive if I reply on the wrong SIM.

Hello I am also having the same issue on S24 using google messages or normal samsung message..
I simply want one SIM to be receive only and the other to be used for all outgoing messages.

I have searched through the settings and cant find a way to fix this.

My case is

SIM 1 is a PAYG SIM used to keep my original phone number from my previous country. People from home can message this number without incurring additional fees. 

eSIM 2 is my main number that has unlimited SMS and call so I want to use this to reply to all messages. It is a hassle having to go into settings everytime to switch between which SIM I am using.

A resolution seems simple and would be great.

Thanks
