Setting the preferred line for all business contacts on a Dual SIM iPhone

I've just merged my personal and business phone into one iPhone with Dual SIM.

The default line is set to my personal number.

All my personal contacts are synced from iCloud while my business contacts are coming from my M365 account. I contacts I can see lists of which contact is coming from which account.

I need to have all calls going to business contacts to come from my business line and all calls to my personal contacts to come from my personal line.

How do I achieve this?

(Without manually adjusting the preferred line for hundreds of accounts and also remembering to adjust ist every time I add a new account...)

iPhone 15

Unfortunately, iOS doesn't have a native feature to automatically assign a preferred line for calls based on contact type (personal or business). The default line setting applies to all outgoing calls, not based on contact categories.


Alternatively, consider providing feedback to Apple about this feature request. They often incorporate user suggestions into future iOS updates, so your input might contribute to a solution in a later release.


Until a built-in solution exists, the manual adjustment may be the only viable option, unfortunately.
