Feature description
Show human-readable mobile network name alongside SIM card number, where applicable.
Why do you want this feature?
For multi-SIM phones, it would be nice to show a human-readable mobile network name wherever a SIM card slot number is shown, for example on the receiving call screen, on the ongoing call screen and in the call history screen.
I think seeing just SIM card slot numbers may be confusing for people who have just set up the phone and are not yet accustomed to SIM slot <-> mobile operator relationship.

I would be careful about that - mobile network provider names can be quite long and there is no way to customize them (as far as I know).
EDIT: it seems to be possible (in Android 13 at least). Still, I would be careful with this feature.
I think it would be more straight-forward if the dial buttons would actually use the color and name set for the SIMs in the Android settings. This can be queried with SubscriptionManager.getActiveSubscriptionInfo (API Level >=22).
Btw is there a way to provide a donation or bounty dedicated to certain issues or features?
Latest version of app for today.
No carrier name or Sim card number, only sim1 and sim2 which are not understandable.
I hope that it's possible to fix that issue.
@blobsan : Btw is there a way to provide a donation or bounty dedicated to certain issues or features?
Just publicly announce your upcoming donation here :) you can even donate preemptively to show you trust and support for the team !
(there are several tools to post and track bounties, but last year's treachery of Bountysource left a bitter taste in everybody's mouth, so you're better off just making promises yourself!)
