i am receiving calls on two phones sharing an Apple ID at the same time. How do I stop this? It only happens with calls and it's ever since I set up my sons phone. It seems to be when someone is calling him it also rings on my phone. How can I stop this? I have the 5S and he has the 5 and we are both using IOS 8.3
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3
DEEZ NUTS HA GOTTI
stop using the same appleID it's by design that all devices with the same appleID ring at the same time if you had a mac it would ring too
and you can't facetime devices with the same appleID as you have, and all devices receive the same iMessages so your son get your messages on his device too
if you use the same appleID to share apps you can do that by using family sharing on separate appleID's
Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
if you don't want to use family sharing

To stop this feature just go to Settings > FaceTime and turn Off Cellular Calls on both your iPhones.
Read through this for an explanation of this feature: Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
You do NOT have to change Apple IDs.
Thank you very much this has solved the problem.
This all started happening May 22nd to alot of people. and know it has nothing to do with sharing 1 I cloud account. Everything was fine for most with this until May 22nd when the problem started. Mine just happened 2 days ago. It has been discussed at length on other forums and people that have shared the same id have not had this problem until 2 weeks ago. I am now receiving my wifes incoming call log on my recent calls list. does not matter if we are 50 miles away or on the same wifi network.
I believe as others do it is someone at apple has tweaked something with Icloud and IOS 8.3 (others feel the same.) How do I come to this conclusion. We have 4 Iphone 6's in our family. this just started happening 2 dayas ago and here is the kicker 2 phones are upgraded to 8.3 an the other 2 are stil on 8.2.
The affected phones are on 8.3 the other 2 that have no problem are on 8.2 all sharing the same ID. Every trick in the book I have read on every apple forum has been tried to no avail as with all other people. Something just recently happened between Icloud and 8.3.
Why am I receiving calls on 2 phones sharing an Apple ID at the same time
