3 phones on one icloud account

I have been reading the thread on multiple phones on one Apple ID and iCloud account. However, I'm confused at my situation compared to the others. I have 3 phones on one account. Up until 3 months ago, not years ago, the 3 phones started showing each other's recent phone calls list and all voice mails. Nothing else is shared with the 3 phones, except the calendar and reminders that I have intentionally set up with my husband's. In reading the thread most of you have experienced this a few years ago. I can't remember which update it was, but after that update this started to happen. We have shut off the iCloud settings on all 3 phones. There is nothing I can see on any of the settings that would cause just the phone app to share recent call list and voice mail. The phone doesn't ring when a call is for the other numbers. There is no sharing of contacts. Just those two settings (voicemail and recent call list). And as I mentioned it only started a few months ago. Any thoughts?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

It has been the situation for quite awhile (at least several years) that some people have been able to use the same Apple ID without recent calls of voicemails being shared. It isn't clear why, as that shouldn't be happening. It is clear that there is no option to stop recent calls and voicemails being synced between iPhones using the same Apple ID once it starts doing that..

Thank you for your reply. As far as the phones in sync, I don't recall ever syncing the phones. I'm baffled but I'll set up 3 accounts, but since the 3rd phone is 1000 miles away, I will end up waiting until we are all in same location. I have had so much trouble with this last set of phone upgrades I don't think I feel like tackling any issues now.

Thanks again!
