Feature description
I have a dual sim. If I want to call someone that's not already in the call history, I have to go to the contact tab and the choose that contact. The problem is that from there there seem to be no way to choose the sim to call that contact. So I have to first initiate call (which initiates from the default sim card), then stop the call immediately, go to the call history tab where that contact now appears, click on the three little dot on the right hand side and then choose the other sim card.
Using SMT Call / contact, it was possible, from the contact card, to long press on the phone number and it proposed the option "Edit number before call" which would then bring the dialling screen, and from there I could select the sim card...so this was kind of a workaround which is no longer there with this fork. - UPDATE: maybe I was wrong here as it seems the latest version of SMT Contact also did not have that the "Edit number before call" feature
Why do you want this feature?
This feels like a highly convoluted workflow just to call someone :) so while technically a missing feature it also feels like a bug by omission ;).
