Two iPhones showing the same message

We have two iPhones (3GS and a 5) and after we switched carriers sending a message on one shows up on both. iPhone ID issue?

To fix this go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both phones; or
Because you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To prevent this, on one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID.  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.
Also, to prevent merging your calendars and contacts if you are syncing these to the same iCloud account, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on each phone with separated IDs. Remember that if you change your ID in itunes and the app store that apps are forever linked to the ID that was used to download them in the first place and can only be updated with that ID. You can delete those old apps and download them and for apps that are not free you have to pay again.

  • Two iphones getting the same messages

    I have an American iphone and a Canadian iphone. I updated my operating system and now all the messages sent to my Canadian phone appear on both phones. I imagine this has to do with icloud, but I am not sure how to fix it. Please help!

    I blocked one of the phones from the icloud so that it isn't on the same name. So far it seems to have worked. Not sure what implications this will have. Thank you!!

  • Why does two iPhones show the same text

    MY sons iPhone and husbands iPhones are sharing the same texts and syncing with one another how to do I stop this

    Use a different Apple ID for iMessage on both phones.  (You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes.)
    One of you needs to go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a differert ID.  If you are sharing the same ID for FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls.

  • HT3529 will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

    will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

    It will. If the two phones are used by two different people, however, you will need to implement some careful management of your iMessage settings to ensure that you don't each receive each-other's messages. It is a much safer option to use different Apple IDs for each individual.
    On iOS devices, you are able to use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and Facetime, iCloud, and the iTunes and App Stores.

  • I have two iphones on the same Apply ID and want to set up different iCloud accounts, how do I do that?

    Create a new Apple ID for the one you want to change.

  • How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

  • Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

    Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

    No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
    I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use  heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.

  • CAn You Sync Two iPhones to the same iTunes Account?

    Has anyone been successful in syncing two iPhones to the same iTunes account. I am the main user of our Mac and my wife just uses it for email and internet browsing. Basically she uses my user account and therefore we share one contacts list, one calendar, one iTunes, and both use the same Mac Mail with our own email addresses. Both also want to use MobileMe.
    Thanks,
    trippj

    Yes.. It is a very difficult process.. First, log into 1 computer with your account and Authorize that computer to use the iPhone. then Sync your phone.. Log out and go to the second computer.. login and Authorize then sync your phone.
    It worked for me

  • I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends.  She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it

    I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends.  She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it.  Really need some help.  Shouldnt her apps and details be saved online in the itunes store?  Even her apps wont appear

    If you create an Apple ID for your daughter, signing out of the existing Apple ID with the iTunes & App Store on her iPhone will not change anything on your iPhone.
    All apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
    If she starts using her Apple ID to download apps, when there is an app update for an app on her iPhone that was downloaded with the current shared Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password to download the app updates.

  • Two iphones on the same itunes account can have access to each other's messages?

    So use different apple id.

  • Two iphones with the same name

    Dear Apple community
    My iphone was stolen at new years eve. I've tried tracking it with find my iphone, but it's been offline since i lost it. However, i have an old phone that i immediatly charged the next day to stay in touch with my relatives, but i found out, that icloud is tracking my old phone instead of my new one (which is lost). I suppose it's due to the fact, that the iphones have the same name (or ID).
    So my question is, is there a way for me to add my old iphone to icloud while still being able to track the location of the stolen one? As of now, i cannot use the 'my iphone is lost' feature on icloud, because everytime i enable it, it just finds my old one and gives the security message. Is the only solution to keep old one offline?
    Kind regards

    You need to rename one of them. I would suggest that you backup and sync each device after the renaming.

    You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.
