I need to pair it with a phone with a different apple id and phone number than the phone it is currently paired to so my wife can use it

my wife and I share a T-Mobile plan and the phone was paired with my phone. We want to transfer it to her apple id and phone, but when she tries to pair it, it still asks for my apple id instead of letting her add hers to it.

iPhone XS, iOS 15

I have a new iPhone which I want to set up for my wife. How do I link this iPhone with the one currently used by me.. I have received an IPhone13. I would like to configure it for my wife. I currently have an iPhone14 under my name. When I try to do QuickStart it appears to transfer the data from my iPhone to the new iPhone and uses my credentials. I want the two iPhones to have different credentials

How does a husband & wife split a joint apple ID ? I have both my wife's (phone H) & my (phone J) iPhones linked to the same apple ID and cell phone provider (i.e. Rogers) for over 10 years. After I upgraded to an iPhone 15 pro (17.4) we started having problems wherein she would call/text and my name/ID would show on the receiving end. How do we separate hers from mine while still retaining our contacts, "find my iPhone" functions etc.? She has created her own apple ID but we are afraid of her signing out of my ID on her phone (H). Will her signing out of my apple ID on her phone (H) affect my ID on phone (J) ? Is there a way to link her new apple ID on her phone (H) to my old apple ID on my phone (J) once she signs out of my ID ? Kindly advise & thanks for any input !
