I specced that the SIM ID include the phone number if there is one, otherwise the IMSI. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#sim-id>
However, some of the current display points for the SIM ID may not have enough space to do that, particularly the switcher in the Phone and Messages apps. <https://goo.gl/vn5wY6> Using the carrier would work as long as your SIMs are from different carriers. I don't know how often that's true. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to messaging-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450255 Title: SIM names should default to carrier names Status in Telepathy Ofono: New Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Triaged Status in address-book-app package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in dialer-app package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in messaging-app package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Right now whenever I need to pick a SIM card somewhere it says "SIM 1" and "SIM 2". That means I need to look up what the respective cards are on a regular basis to be sure which is which - there's no way I will remember this, not to mention when traveling I change cards and it's paramount for me to know what card is in there and not accidentally use the wrong one. SIM switchers should display the names of the carriers rather than mere numbers.
