Is it possible to turn off the SIM

[fergusd84]

I'd like to turn off the SIM, short of removing it. Is this possible?
Zen8 is great but Oh My Goodness I miss my BlackBerry. Tasks like this and the flexibility on look n feel n usage generally c
onferred by the BB10 OS was unmatched.

Settings -> Network settings (first on the list) - SIM Card -> and there You have toggles for both sims.

BUT: if only one SIM then although the switch for SIM 1 is highlighted (i.e. not shadow) it does not toggle ON/OFF - it is always ON.
Or so it seems to me. Is your experience different?

Yes, it says that at least one sim must be active, but in this case you can use airplane mode (you can still use wifi in airplane mode)

Brilliant! Thank you.
Turned on Airplane, turned WiFi back on (it was greyed out but accepted the switch) and within a few moments got the WiFi Calling symbol across the top banner. Was able to make and receive calls even though SIM turned off. Which was the point of the experiment.
