Different phones receiving same texts

My husband and I each have an iPhone with a different phone number and we continue to receive the same texts and sometimes phone calls. How do we stop this?

iPad Air, iPadOS 17

Using the same Apple ID on both phones opens the door to confusion. If both phones are using the same Apple ID, about all that you can do at this point.....with no guarantees:


On your phone.....

Tap Settings

Scroll down and tap Messages

Tap Send & Receive


The only check mark should be next to your phone number

Power off the phone, wait a minute, then power it back up


On your husband's phone.....

Tap Settings

Scroll down and tap Messages

Tap Send & Receive


The only check mark should be next to your husband's phone number

Power off the phone, wait a minute, then power it back up
