How to UNsync iphones

Have two iphones-one with a Registered number and Account, in the U.S.A. with Service thru ATnT and the Other has Registered number n Account in Mexico, with Service provided thru ‘TELCEL’. Somehow, when a ‘contact’ on the U.S.phone-sends a TXT or CALLS to THAT phone, the ‘Mexican‘ phone RINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY!!?! Can this weird syncronization be stopped?

USA iphoneSE and MEXICAN iphone6s

That could be due to both devices being signed into the same ID as well. You would need to go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive, and see what number/Apple ID is listed on each device. Make sure that only the number for that device is checked. Also, check Settings>Messages>Text Message Forwarding, and see if you have something turned on there as well.
