iPad will not stop ringing when iPhone rings

At some point I was asked if I wanted to link my iPad/iPhone for phone calls and answered yes. I no longer want that option. I have followed the instructions I have found here: Go to SETTINGS, FACETIME and say no to iPad answer phone. Does not work as I do not have that option.

So on my iPhone 6 with iOS 12.4.8 I go to SETTINGS, FACETIME and see 1 option only - FACETIME, ON/OFF. It is OFF.

I go to SETTINGS, PHONE, and I see 1 option only - ALLOW CALLS ON OTHER DEVICES, it is OFF.

I go to SETTINGS, PHONE, CALL FORWARDING and I see 1 option only, CALL FORWARDING, it is OFF.


On my iPad Mini with iPadOS 13.6.1

I go to SETTINGS, FACETIME and I see 1 option only - FACETIME people can contact you on all devices. It is OFF.

I see nothing applicable in iCloud.

I see nothing applicable in Cellular Data.

In NOTIFICATIONS, FACETIME is OFF.


Also for some reason when I sign in to iCloud it says "A new device is trying to sign in in Colorado instead of in Arkansas which is where I am. I find this unbelievable in this day and age of GPS tracking. It should not be this hard. Thanks

iPad, iOS 10

As you can see in my original post I found nothing applicable in SETTINGS-CELLULAR-CALLS ON OTHER DEVICES. I spent an hour on the phone yesterday with Apple Support and it was not simple matter of toggling a switch on or off. The app was providing conflicting information. In the end we went back to basics, ie if the app is not doing what it is supposed to do shut down the unit. If that doesn't work then uninstall and reinstall the app. That is what worked. Thanks
