Q: two id on one iphone

I have an iphone 5 with my own apple id. and also i bought iphone 4s for my wife. is it possible to use two different apple id on one iphone. My only aim is to use the apps in her phone which i bought with my account. but i want her to have her own id for to use imessage facetime and so on with me. Because i think if i use my account on her phone, when she texts me, it will be like she is texting herself :S

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

    Hello Rakkas_norge

     

    Yes you can use two Apple ID’s on a phone. One to be the one for purchases and the other can be used for iCloud content. The article below will shed some light on the topic.

    you can even use two accountws for purchases, but its a ghassle to update things, switching from one to another.

     

    The only isue I see is that you cant use icloud parts with different accounts.

     

    For example, wife and me have joined contacts on icloud. It is very handy.

    But, she can't use her own icloud account for everything else, because she uses my contacts....I have big icloud account so it's not a problem, but they should allow something like that, some sort of icloud family...

     

    Also, photostream should be far better.....in terms of managing, locking out and storing things....

    I want a storage that lasts forever...as long as  I pay for it.
