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.

  • 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

  • I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone.  Anyway to solve this problem?

    I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone.  Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called.  If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through.  Anyway to solve this problem?

    Hey David Koh TP,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6337
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How do i get the phone to ring when someone calls, it seems to only vibrate and I can't figure out how to turn on the ringer

    how do i get the phone to ring when someone calls, it seems to only vibrate and I can't figure out how to turn on the ringer

    look in settings:sounds and be sure you have a ring tone set, and both vibrate buttons are off.  Also be sure the volume slider id as far right as is comfortable.

  • Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name.

    Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name. Hard to know who is calling/texting! A few times I've tapped on the text message icon and I can actually watch as the conversations turn from showing just numbers to the contact names. Same thing when looking at call history and voice mail- sometimes it shows numbers and then I'll go back and the contacts will be back. So frustrating!

    -I have tried using *228 to update.
    You don't dial *228 to update the Preferred Roaming List on 4G phones; I"m surprised the call went through.  The PRL updates are handled by the SIM card. 
    Try this and see if it helps:  turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, and wait a few minutes.  Then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and give the phone a few minutes to re-establish a network connection.

  • My phone doesn't ring when someone is calling, but the sound works otherwise, like the alarm etc. I have tried to fix it in settings but still not working. anyone else have this problem?

    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!

    We have 2 iphones and they are both synched to an ipad, how do we reomve phone numbers from only one of the phones without hte numbers being removed from the other phone

    one can't sync iPhones with ipads
    best you can do is to sync all with iclouds
    if you do so and wish to stop syncing contacts with one of the iPhones you have set it not to sync contacts in the settings of the iPhone

  • Good day Friends. My phone loses signal when I receive calls and people do not listen to me at times.   I bought my phone used by Amazon and I think it was open, because I see that this manipulated by one hand.  Someone I can help.?

    That's not a phone issue, but rather that they simply find you uninteresting.

    Amazon is not an official reseller.
    If the device has been opened by anyone other than Apple the warranty is voided.

  • Phone Stops Ringing When I pick it Up

    Hello
    I have a Blackberry 9720.
    1.  I want to find out why my phone stops ringing when I pick it up to answer it?
    2.  How can I get it ring for longer as it rings for such a short time?
    Many thanks
    Barbara
    Solved!

    Barbara,
    1- I'm not sure why this is happening but reloading your OS using BlackBerry Desktop Software should correct this. To reload your OS, plug your phone in to BDS on your PC and click Device at the top of BDS then click Backup. Once you've done a backup, click Device once again but this time click Restore and choose the file you just created and load it. If you had a touchscreen, I'd suggest that you're probably touching the screen which would cancel the ringtone but because your phone is not a touchscreen, this wouldn't apply.
    2- Call MTN for help with this issue. It's your carrier that controls for how long your phone rings and they can set it to go as long as 30 seconds if you request it.
    I hope that helps you.

    When you are on your way home, you can forward your calls to your home phone. Cancel forwarding when you get to an area with service.
    *72-xxx-xxx-xxxx with the x's being your home phone #.
    *73 to cancel.
    You can also do this with Google Voice.

    Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
    There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
    And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
    Good luck.
