Q: Phone signal crossing
Why is it that whenever my phone rings my son's phone rings simultaneously. We are both utilizing IOS 8.1.2 I believe our phones signals are crossing but I don't know why or how to correct it. I went through all of the options with regard to what numbers can be utilized to contact either of us and still the problem persists. Please advise. Any help is appreciated.

The phone signals have nothing to do with it.
Its a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity.
It will happen, if you are using the same Apple ID for iCloud on both phones and both phones are on the same Wifi network at the time a call is received on one of the iPhones,

Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
There are 2 ways you can disable this:
1. Use different Apple ID's for iCloud.
2. Go to Settings->Facetime->iPhone Cellular Calls on each iPhone and turn it off.
