calls go to 2 iphones, seperate phone numbers

Hello

I have a 5s and my wife has a 4s. We have separate phone numbers (from separate providers).

When a call comes in to either and we are on wifi, both ring and can be answered. I can't figure the setting that causes this so a bit of help would be appreciated. 😉

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.1

It is a feature of Continuity. You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and change "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off on both phones.


You should also consider using separate Apple IDs. New Family Sharing features make that more flexible and as Apple continues to add features linking devices using the same Apple ID, having separate IDs for each person is the recommended approach. https://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/
