One thing to check: go to Settings -> Phone (or if your iPhone is on iOS 18, Settings -> Apps -> Phone) and if Allow Calls on Other Devices is turned on, turn that off.


Also, if you are both using the same Apple Account on your phones, that's not a good idea as it can cause all sorts of confusion. You should each have your own Apple Account and set each up individually on your own phones.


Regards.
