incoming calls ring on multiple phone numbers

HAve you figured this out yet? Mine are doing the same thing and I need help fixing this.

I thought I'd reply and explain how my issue was resolved. Basically, my issue was that when somebody called my wife, it rang my phone as well. It didn't matter whether it was a US SIM card or another one, both phones were being rung.

It turns out the cause was due to a friend who had my number AND my wife's number stored in the same contact. She had both our UK numbers and our single USA phone number all together in a single contact. I can't believe I didn't think to check that until Apple told me that was the only explanation (after pouring through 100s of MB of log data).

So yeah. This might not have anything to do with the vast majority of people in this thread but I thought I better mention it. My thanks to Apple for taking my bug report seriously.

Well, you could just read a few of the 50-odd messages in this thread and find out what others have said about it.

Turning off handoff IS the solution. Thank you! Calls now do not span 2 phones at the same time.

This only happens with multiple devices sharing apple IDs and iCloud and being on wifi at the time. Turning off hand off made no difference but turning off the cellular option in face time does work. Face time/iPhone Mobile Calls/off. If you read the description under this setting you can see exactly how it is meant to work. I can only assume it is so that you can receive incoming calls on an ipad or other device unless of course you have more than one iPhone of your own.

Apple has an option to do this!

In setting, go to "phone" and see "Calls on other devices" and turn it off or select any other device you want to get calls at same time!

enjoy

This option was already available prior to iOS 9, but in a different place (was in FaceTime settings). With iOS 9 the setting is logically placed under the Phone settings.

My problem is FaceTime rings on both mine and my wife's iPhone. We have our own iCloud accounts. My wife is also part of our Family Sharing group. Strange behaviour - Still searching here to find similar problem.

You might wish to investigate "Family Sharing." It's pretty slick.

Unfortunately "Family Sharing" does not provide for the sharing of Calendars and Contacts. This is a critical flaw.

It is ALWAYS a mistake to share an Apple ID with another person.

Incorrect. My wife and I share a calendar and each one of us is alerted when the other adds or changes something.

If that were true it would be a critical flaw, but it's not true. As I share my contacts and calendar with my wife through family sharing.

The solution is to go to SETTINGS, PHONE, CALLS ON OTHER DEVICES. Turn the feature off

The fix for me was in Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices.

Hope this helps.
