Note: After completing these steps, you are free to use dual SIMs on the Pixel 4. When both SIMs are active, the Pixel 4 uses the Dual SIM Dual Standby feature to activate it. Both SIMs can be used for calls and texts at the same time. However, if you’re on the phone with someone on one number, any incoming calls on the other will be sent to voicemail. The data connection, on the other hand, is only available with the SIM you’ve chosen as your primary option. As a result, moving between the two SIMs effectively means changing which data network is used.
