Q: Wi-Fi Calling available message Repeats and Repeats
I have a MBP, iPad, and an iPhone6S all signed in to the same iCloud account. iOS devices are all running 9.3 and the Mac is 10.11.4.
I powered up my old iPhone 5S because I have a use for it on WiFi (Airplane Mode ON, WiFi Enabled). So a 4th device on the same iCloud account. However, when the iPhone 5S is connected to my WiFi network, the other 3 devices (iPhone 6S, iPad and MacBook Pro) all start flashing messages (over and over and over again and I can't get them to stop).
iPhone: "Wi-Fi Calling for Other Devices - Wi-Fi Calling is now available for other devices on your iCloud account"
Mac: "Wi-Fi Calling on this Mac - You can now make and receive Wi-Fi calls using your phone number on this Mac"
iPad: "Wi-Fi Calling on This iPad - You can use your phone number to make and receive calls directly on this iPad using Wi-Fi." (Not Now, Turn On).
These messages keep popping up as long as the 5S is on the WiFi network (again, there is no phone number assigned to it). I have turned FaceTime off on the 5S - no change.
I can stop the messages by signing out of iCloud on the 5S. However, once I sign in to iCloud with the 5S, the messages start up again on the other 3 devices. There are no Phone or Cellular settings available on the 5S because it is in Airplane Mode (WiFi on). How can I use the 5S and share my iCloud account but make the nagging messages on the other 3 devices stop ?
iPhone 6s, Mac OS 9.2.x
