Hello, I just activated another iphone4 on my account and it is now linked to my other iphone.  If I delete a contact on one it deletes it on the other.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello, I just activated another iphone4 on my account and it is now linked to my other iphone.  If I delete a contact on one it deletes it on the other.  Does anyone know how to fix?

One of the phones can keep the current account; on the one that will be moving go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The other phone will not be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.  At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the original phone's contacts from the new phone's account, and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each phone.
