Android / Samsung - how to find out which of your numbers someone called?

S24 running dual SIM.

I don't give my number out freely & I don't get all that many calls. I also don't answer to numbers I don't recognise. 
I've fairly recently started running dual SIMs & today had a call from a mobile number I don't recognise. 

Is there a way to find out which of my SIM's that number called?

    In Settings, Connections, SIM manager each active SIM has has a different icon associated with it.

    In the Recents call list, each call shows the icon of the SIM that the call was made to/from.

    This only applies when multiple sims are active.

    If several SIM cards are active, you can see in the standard Phone app on which SIM card the calls have been received. The logo of the SIM card is displayed.

    You can use the filter option to only show calls to a specific sim.

    You can change the logos to make it easier to tell them apart:

    Settings> connections > SIM Manager> Name of your Sim > edit name and icon

    Do what I do. If it is not a number in my directory I reject and then block

    Don't overlook enabling Caller ID and blocking scam calls in Call Settings on the Samsung

    Often wonder about this - whether rejecting a call activates it their end as an 'active number' for them to pass around their system & keep trying.
    Versus just letting it ring out.

    I'll look in to that. Thanks.
