You may want to reply with more information. Primarily, what do you mean by "shows up"?
Shows up exactly where?
Does the wrong phone ring when the number is called?
On each phone, go to Settings > Contacts > My Info and select the correct contact for that phone.
No all 3 phones can place and receive calls with each of our respective numbers separately. On all 3 phones in settings each of our own numbers is listed under cellular on each respective phone. My phone my cell. My wife’s phone her cell. Our sons phone his cell. Also under settings on each of our phones our cell numbers are listed in iMessage, and FaceTime. No other numbers. The problem is on my phone in contacts under my wife’s listed out the the far right side it says “me” and when I like a comment on an iMessage it shows my wife’s initials also when any site I’m on in safari on the phone any time there is a chance to auto fill any info my wife’s info shows up not mine. On my wife’s phone it shows in her contacts her picture under our sons contact listing.
So in contacts under my wife’s listing it shows her number then under that line it’s grayed out and shows my number as being found by Siri in settings.
on my wife’s phone it’s the same scenario with her phone showing our son as “me”.
same issue but with our son on her phone.
Hooray! It’s all fixed! Thank you all for your help!!!
Check your contacts and verify that each of you has a contact for each of the others that does not mention anyone else and doesn’t have anyone else’s number as an alternate number.
Just change your contact to you in contacts.
Worst case:
Create a new contact with your correct info, set that as "My Card" in:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Contacts > My Info
