Mobile phones have changed a lot in recent years, but there is something that remains almost unchanged: the presence of SIM cards . It is true that, little by little, eSIMs are making their way, but in Spain they are still rare and little used, being more common in accessories such as smart watches. They don’t usually cause problems, but there is a time when it is better to know how to turn them off .
When you go on a trip, especially to a country where roaming is very expensive, it is good to turn off the card to avoid having strange charges . It is also possible to physically remove it, but there is a risk of it being lost by mistake, and that is something you always want to avoid

What you have to do is open the mobile Settings , go to the Connections section and then SIM Manager . At that point the installed SIM cards will be shown, with the name we have given. At the top there are connection and disconnection buttons that allow you to turn the cards on and off. In the image you can see how the DIGI card is on and the HELLO card is off.
Additionally, if two cards are on at the same time, you can choose one to make calls, another to use mobile data , in addition to putting an eSIM, if the mobile supports it, or changing security settings, such as the PIN . It is also possible to turn roaming on or off if we go to the Mobile Networks menu, although this will affect all the SIM cards that are installed, not just the one you want to turn off.
