Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to a device and a method for obtaining information on a cellular network through direct communication in an electronic device. The electronic device may include: a memory, a first communication circuit, a second communication circuit, and a processor, and the processor may be configured to control the electronic device to: identify a country in which the electronic device is located using the first communication circuit, obtain network information of at least one external electronic device through direct communication using the second communication circuit based on determining that the country in which the electronic device is located has changed, detect a PLMN to which the electronic device is accessible based on the network information of the at least one external electronic device, perform a network search related to the detected PLMN through the first communication circuit, and perform a network registration procedure through a detected cell based on the network search through the first communication circuit.

Electronic device for acquiring network information and method for operating same

An electronic device and bidirectional communication control method thereof for supporting communication between electronic devices. The electronic device of the present disclosure includes a communication unit configured to communicate with other electronic devices; a storage unit configured to store service type and operation mode information per communication service; and a control unit configured to check information on the communication service, determine a service type corresponding to the communication service information, and control a call forwarding function to enable/disable call forwarding to a companion electronic device in an operation mode corresponding to the determined service type.

Electronic device and bidirectional communication control method thereof

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a memory, a communication module configured to communicate with an external electronic device, and a processor configured to: when a call forwarding is requested by the external electronic device, identify information on an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) profile of the external electronic device, based on call forwarding-related information stored in the memory; transmit the information on the eSIM profile to the external electronic device via the communication module; and set up the call forwarding with the external electronic device using the eSIM profile based on the information on the eSIM profile.
