Hello all,

So I currently have an XR on verizon for work, and an X on T-mobile for personal use. Im thinking of getting the 11 Pro to do be able to have both services on one phone for simpler travel purposes. Now in the past, I know if I have a low signal (one to no bars) of service, the phone's battery will drain trying to search for service (as I have had this show up in my battery metrics with the highest %).

Now in the case of a dual sim phone, will this still be the case if I have one or no bars on T mobiles network, but 5 bars on Verizon for the same phone? Will the phone use up battery trying to find better service on the Tmobile side? or will it be satisfied using the verizon network?
