Hi there,

I wanted to know the following about your app. Hope you will reply.

** Can it be used to switch off a SIM card at a particular time and then switch it back on at another time on a daily basis. I wanted to switch off SIM 1 at night (say 8 pm) and switch it back on on in the morning (say 9 am). If so, can you pls. elaborate on the steps as to how to do so. My Lenovo K8 Note is on Android 8.0.

Thanks and Regards,
Arvind Gupta
