Set all contacts call from esim

How can i setup all calls to be initiated from only one sim considering that by default all contacts are set to “last used”? I want to avoid setting all contacts to “always use sim x” one by one on 200 contacts

choosing what number to use before any call This question has been asked multiple times, and I wonder if there was any update made for it. I have recently switched from Samsung to iPhone, having a dual SIM card. As multiple contacts may have multiple phones numbers, is there a way how I can select one of my phone numbers/SIM cards to be used before an actual phone call? Samsung had an option/pop out message allowing me to choose what SIM of mine I want to use for each call. It was very practical. Here, with iPhone, I understand the default setting and how I can go to individual contact details and change it for each contact separately. However, this is not practical if one has many contacts, and something similar to the Samsung feature would be highly appreciate here too. (Similarly for SMS messages, it would be useful to be able to choose what SIM should be used for each SMS sent.)

Esim incoming caller id Moved my O2 UK Sim to the esim so that I could use the Iphone 14 pro max as a dual sim device. Current version Ios 16.5.1. However in doing so I cannot get any incoming caller ID for names and phone nos. stored in the contacts list or even from unknown nos. No number is displayed. Just "Unknown Caller". However if I get calls to my second no. which is a regular sim, caller ID is displayed. O2 UK says its nothing to do with them but a iphone issue. See screenshot below. Is there a solution for this as I have seen some older posts with no suitable resolution. I use GMAIL for default contacts list.

Две симуляторы Is it possible to forcibly select the main SIM for making calls? Now it is very difficult to do this, because it is necessary to choose the main SIM for each contact. One more question: if I get a call from an unfamiliar number to an additional number, then when I call back, I can't choose which SIM card to call from, can this be fixed? If there is no such possibility, help me send a suggestion to apple to add such a feature

Do you have more than one eSIM active on your device? You shouldn't see the option to pick unless you have more than one line on the iPhone. Is that true?

I have 1 eSIM and 1 SIM card. I can choose default voice line in settings but the phone remembers last used sim and inititiates the call from eSIM. Only way I found is to set “always use sim x” on each contact and I want to call everyone in my contact list from Simcard only
