Two iPhones, two contracts, both ring when one is called after upgrade to iOS8

I have two iPhones 5s, one private, one for business. They have different numbers and use different carriers/service providers.
They use both the same Apple ID for any iTunes store, Apple store or iCloud purposes.
I've upgraded them both to iOS 8.
When now someone is calling me, using either the private or the business number BOTH iPhones ring. This hasn't happened before and it's rather annoying and bad.
Is there a way to stop this behaviour?

This is a new feature to allow sharing of a cellular connection.  To disable it, either use separate iCloud IDs for the phones, or turn it off in Settings/ FaceTime/ iPhone Cellular Calls/ OFF.

  • I have two iPhones.  I upgraded to IOS8.  Now both iPhones ring when one is called.  What is the problem?

    Ever since I upgraded to IOS8 my two iPhones, with separate phone numbers, ring when one iPhone is called.  I think the same thing is happening with FaceTime.  What is the problem and how do I fix it?

    I turned off the cellular calls on facetime, but now when I call my wife's iPhone 5 from my iPhone 6, it goes straight to her voicemail.  But when she calls me, I can receive the call.  Any ideas as to what the problem might be and a remedy for the problem??
    Do you see a crescent moon next to her battery on her home screen?
    If you do that means do not disturb is on, either access the control center - and click on the moon icon or
    settings - do not disturb - off

  • Both phone numbers ring when one is called

    I have two phone on my account.  I just uploaded iOS8 and now when one phone number is called, both phones ring.  This will certainly cause confusion and lead to frustration.  How can I turn this feature off?

    That setting does not control making a FaceTime call while in cellular. That controls the continuity with answering your iPhone cellular calls on another device. This phenomenon will only occur when both devices are logged into the same Apple ID and are currently on the same Wi-Fi network.

  • Iphone 5s lost LTE, 4g, weak signal. dropped calls after upgrading to IOS 8.1

    i recently upgraded my iphone 5s to IOS 8.1 , after the upgrade i lost LTE and 4g, connectivity and stuck to 3g, i observed that my phone's got weker signal than before, i have intermittent signal during calls, and dropped calls. i did go to my service provider but they cant figure it out too, because i'm in an area which has a very good LTE signal and i only got 3g. so i use the apple support chat and i did all the tips and software restoration, i even restore my iphone twice as a new phone but got no good result. i hope apple inc. should issue first a warning on their softaware release updates. i'm so frustrated with my IOS device which i'm so proud.

    Hi Restore  Back to Factory  Settings over your WiFi Go to Settings iCloud check last backup. Since ios 7 when you put your iPhone or charge it  Automatically backs up to iCloud After Restore just use same Apple ID  Then you will get your Apps & data back. Cheers Brian

  • Two iphones ring when one is called in our home

    Someone was trying to contact me on my phone, instead of my phone just ringing... my wife's and mine both rang AND the call was connected on both phones.
    What?
    Both phones are iOS 8.1.1... mine is a 6+ and hers is a 6.

    Since you share the same Apple ID the continuity feature of iOS 8 rings both phones. To turn this off use the Settings app to turn off Cellular calls.
    Settings > Facetime > iPhone Cellular Calls.  Turn this off.

  • My iPhone 5 will not ring when my phone number is called.

    Despite the "Silent" button on the side of the iPhone 5 being set to off, and the ringer turned on full blast, my iPhone 5 will not ring when any number calls my phone. This is not an issue with the settings, which are all set for the phone to ring. Has anyone else run into this problem, or may have a solution besides taking the phone in for repair? My phone is no longer covered under the one year limited manufacturer's warranty, so any repair is likely going to cost a minimum of almost $300.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring.

    I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.

    Hi,
    There are two easy fixes to this.
    One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
    Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why do I get a two tone beeping sound when trying to call my wife's Iphone 5c?  Call does not go through.

    Has anyone ever gotten a two tone beeping sound when trying to call an Iphone on the Verizon network?  The call never connects, just the beeping sound.

    I would try deleting her contact and then re-adding it.

  • When will iPhone have a "range option" when deleting recents calls. The current, one call at time or all, options are not practical.

    When will iPhone offer an "range" option when deleting recent calls. The currents options of "one" or "all" are not practical.

    Really Chris? Yes Really!!!
    You've never used Excel? You can delete multiple rows or columns with ease.
    Yahoo mail gives you an option, by checking a box preceeding the messages, to move or cancel selected (range) messages in mass. I use it daily.
    Outlook and Outlook Express both give you the option to cancel a range of messages, highlight the first message, shift key held, highlight the last message, delete.
    I guess I did not consider browsers or games as stored data when I made the comment

  • Iphone 4 doesn't ring when someone calls

    My iPhone 4 does not ring when someone calls. I have checked volume and it is turned on. Left side button is up for ring sound. Volume buttons don't do any good. I updated my phone to IOS 5.1 but no difference. Please help with this issue. Thanks

    I had the problem a few times. I had a faulty toggle switch (between vibrate and sound). I took it into the apple store, and I was covered under apple care. I walked out with a new phone, free of charge.

  • After upgrading to iOS8 my Exchange account has changed to an invalid address. I can change it but after a day or two it changes back to the invalid address. any help on this would be great.

    after upgrading to iOS8 my Exchange account has changed to an invalid address. I can change it but after a day or two it changes back to the invalid address. any help on this would be great. Other user on our exchange server that have iOS 7 or lower do not have this problem. All iOS 8 users in our company have this problem

    have you deleted the account and re-added it?  Have you done a reset or restore as outlined in the iPhone user guide?  What troubleshooting have you done?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!
