What it does
With the setting on, the phone can move mobile data to your other line when the main one has no usable connection. The phone decides when to switch.
If your menus look different
Android makers name and place these settings differently, and they change between versions. Search Settings for "data switching" or "SIM". If your phone does not offer it, you can still switch the data line by hand in the same SIM settings.
