If you have a Pixel phone with dual SIM capabilities, you can use a different SIM during calls. This can be useful if you want to use a different number for work or personal calls, or if you're traveling and want to use a local SIM card.

To use a different SIM during calls, follow these steps:

Open the Settings app.
Tap Network & internet.
Tap SIM & network.
Under SIMs, tap the SIM card you want to use for calls.
Tap Calls.
Under Default SIM, select the SIM card you want to use for calls.

You can also choose to have your phone ask you which SIM to use every time you make a call. To do this, uncheck the box next to Default SIM.

Once you've selected the SIM card you want to use for calls, it will be used for all future calls. If you want to change the SIM card, follow the steps above and select a different SIM card.

Here are some additional tips for using a different SIM during calls on Pixel phone:

You can also use a different SIM for text messages and data. To do this, follow the steps above and select the SIM card you want to use for text messages and data under Text messages and Data, respectively.
If you're using a dual SIM phone with two different carriers, you may be able to use both SIM cards at the same time for calls and text messages. This is called Dual VoLTE or Dual 4G. To check if your carrier supports Dual VoLTE, contact them directly.
If you're having trouble using a different SIM during calls, make sure that your phone is up to date with the latest software. You can check for updates by going to Settings > System > System update.

I hope this helps!
