<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">SMS are currently always sent from whatever subscription is set as the SMS send subscription. This includes sending an SMS reply from the "incoming call" screen or the "missed call" notification.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Note that battery life is shorter when two SIM cards are enabled. The reason for this is that the modem has to keep switching between two networks to remain registered and be able to receive network events, causing higher power consumption, higher latency, and lower throughput. This also causes the data connection to become slower when two SIMs are enabled. This isn't something that can be "fixed" because it's not software-related. Having only one SIM card enabled will improve battery life and data connection speed.</span></li>
