To manage data usage, use the ‘Data Saver’ feature and restrict background data for apps. It helps you keep within limits on either SIM.
Smart move! I also suggest reviewing app permissions frequently to avoid unexpected data usage.
I find it helpful to label each SIM in the settings to easily identify them—it’s such a simple yet effective method!
Has anyone experienced issues with call routing on the Pixel 7? I feel like sometimes my calls don’t go through on the preferred SIM.

Yes! Sometimes it seems like it randomly connects to the other SIM. I’d recommend checking ‘Preferred SIM for calls’ in your settings. It can be tricky!

Thanks for that info! I’m going to check mine right now. It sounds like it’s worth a shot!
To optimize functionality, make sure both SIMs are properly configured for calls and data. It’s essential to keep the one with better coverage for data use.
Honestly, my last phone was a real pain with dual SIM management. My Pixel 7 makes it feel like a walk in the park—sometimes I wonder if they put a ‘magic’ chip in there!
Haha, magic chip or not, I think most phones have a learning curve with setups. Just takes some adjusting!

I’ve been using the Pixel 7 with the dual SIM feature for a few months now. Overall, it’s pretty seamless! Network connectivity has been excellent, and I can easily switch between plans as needed.

That’s good to hear! How’s the battery life held up with dual SIM usage? Does it drain faster compared to using a single SIM?
I’ve noticed a minimal battery impact when using dual SIM. It lasts pretty much the same as with a single SIM for me, though I keep Wi-Fi on most of the time.

Awesome! That’s great news. Do both SIMs support 5G networks, or is that limited to just one?
Both SIMs can support 5G, but only one can be active at a time with 5G capabilities. You can switch them in settings depending on your preference.
What a bummer that you can’t use both SIMs on 5G at the same time! But it’s still a handy feature. I mostly use it for work and personal, and it works flawlessly for me.
Right? It would’ve been incredible for performance. But usability-wise, how do you find it?
Usability is pretty straightforward! You can assign different ringtones to each SIM and easily choose which one to use for calls or data. It’s quite user-friendly.
That sounds promising! Does it switch networks automatically when you’re in low reception areas?
Yes, it does! The Pixel 7 has been pretty smart about switching networks. I rarely have to manually toggle, which is a relief.
That’s impressive! I had concerns about reliability, but this sounds good. Any downsides you’ve encountered?
