Hey jmacaroni2022,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! We understand you have a question related to 'preferred line' when making calls. We can help.
As quoted from within: Make a call on iPhone, "On models with Dual SIM, iPhone chooses the line for the call in the following order:
- The preferred line for this contact (if set)"
Also quoted from within: Edit contacts on iPhone, "On models with Dual SIM, when you call or text a contact, iPhone uses the same line you used for your previous communication with this contact by default. To choose a preferred line for phone calls and SMS/MMS message conversations, select the contact, tap default (below the contact’s name), then choose a line.
To change how your contacts are sorted and displayed, go to Settings > Contacts."
Also for reference: Using Dual SIM with an eSIM
Best regards.
