When adding a contact.. another iphone on my plan got that same contact

I just recieved an iphone and my sister got one as well. We were adding contacts to our phones and noticed we were getting the same contacts we were adding. (EX: I added a friend and the same friend would pop up in her contacts and she didn't create his contact) Is there a way to fix this without going to the apple store/verizon?
If anyone doesn't understand i can go into more depth if needed.

Are both iPhones using the same iCloud account?  iCloud syncs contacts (among other things) so if you're both using the same iCloud account on your phones it would automatically add any contact entered on one phone to the other one as well.  Check under settings->iCloud and see what account name is listed at the top.  If it's the same on both phones that would explain it.
Good luck!

  • Since the upgrade to IOS7, the default phone label when adding new contacts on my iPhone 5 is "Radio".  Previously the default was "Mobile" how can this be changed back to "Mobile"?

    Since the upgrade to IOS7, the default phone label when adding new contacts in my iPhone 5 is "Radio". Previously the default was "Mobile". It is a hassle as when my iPhone contacts are synched with Outlook via Exchange, the phone number I've entered on the iPhone doesn't show on the default Outlook view as it is a "Radio" number rather than a "Mobile", "Work", "Home", etc number. It is still stored both on the iPhone & in Outlook & I can still use the number to phone or SMS, it is just incorrectly labelled & hence the source of frustration.
    Apple please return the default to "Mobile" or alternatively find a way we can alter the default ourselves to "Mobile" or "Home" etc.

  • I updated my 4S iphone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan.  How do I stop this?

    I updated my 4S iPhone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan.  What do I need to do?

    I'm not completely clear on the GSM / LTE network frequencies in US vs Argentina, but I do know that cross-compatibility can be an issue when buying from one country and using in another. Apple products in particular have this problem. What this sounds like to me is that the phone is not compatible with Argentinian networks; or your friend had an AT&T phone and jail-broke it. This is against the end user licensing agreement, and when the phone is next updated is likely to jam the phone.
    Sorry but you lost your money.

  • When playing music on my iPhone 4S, it keeps repeating the same song, even though it is set at Shuffle.

    When playing music on my iPhone 4S, it keeps repeating the same song, even though it is set at Shuffle.

    Make sure you don't have Repeat turned on.  While the song is playing, tap the screen (cover art) if necessary to bring up the extended music controls (see image below).  Then tap the Repeat button until it turns white (which is off).

  • It's sending my messages as a text message when I'm texting another iPhone. How can I fix that? The messages are green and not blue. This just starting during half my conversation.

    I was texting another iPhone when right it the middle of my conversation, it turned from blue to green. Now its sending all my messages as text messages and not iMessages. How can I fix this?

    It could be that your signal dropped to GSM which is why it sent as a normal text. You need wi-fi, 3G or HSPDA to send as an iMessage. As does the receiver

  • Malfunction when adding/modifying "contact"

    Before you try anything as drastic as restoring your phone, try simply resetting it by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the apple appears on the screen.

  • Can't choose Calendar when adding new events on iPhone

    Hello,
    I just got my wife her first iPHone. We've both got macs and have a family Mobile Me account. Her personal calendars and our shared family calendars show up on her iPhone, but when she tries to add an event on her iphone, there is no field to choose to which calendar you want to add the event. This is not a problem when adding events on her computer. As far as I can tell, her iPhone synced fine, though I'm not 100% sure.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    figured it out. her iphone did not have mobile me properly configured. I needed to set that up with the correct Apple ID

  • Adding a second iPhone 5 to another iPhone 5 preorder plan

    Currently, I have an iPhone 4 on AT&T, and when I pre-ordered my iPhone 5 I decided to switch to verizon. So I ordered the CDMA version of the iPhone 5 and selected to create a new plan, and checked out and my iPhone was ordered. But now my brother wants to get an iPhone 5 on the same plan as mine. When I try to add the iPhone 5 to an existing plan, it can't find the plan for the iPhone I bought. How do I add it to the plan I created?   

    Technically, you're not a Verizon customer at the moment, thus you have no plan to add the phone to. I don't know if calling Verizon will help, but you may want to start there.

    looks like you should have asked this in the ADF-forum...
    JDeveloper and ADF
    Why don't you simply configure the user name beeing unique in your entity?
    ADF would raise an exeption for you.
    public String onRowCreate( Row currentRow ) {
    return null;
    }Don't do that.
    returning a literal null is almost ever a mistake! In this certain case you should declare you methods return type as void and ommit the return statement.

  • Before updating the software om my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, it were possible when adding new contacts to mark them with 'iPhone, fax, mobile etc.' Now it is not possible to select iPhone anymore, does anyone have a solution or know what is wrong?

    Any one have a solution on my problem?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Strange error when adding book on another book (LibraryEntitlementHelper?!)

    Hi,
    when I try to add book to another book with PortalCustomizationManager I get this strange error:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument [webAppName] to method [createResource] in class [com.bea.netuix.application.manager.entitlement
    s.LibraryEntitlementHelper] cannot have error/be [null].
    What the hell is LibraryEntitlementHelper and why google, bea edocs and bea portal javadoc knows nothing about it?

    How did you create the CustomizationContext when calling the method on the EJB.
    you need to make sure you pass in the ServletRequest. If you are calling this from outside a web container. you wil need to use a mock request or take a look at ExportImportManager.

  • Word 2010 hangs when adding a contact via the Envelopes and Labels dialog box

    I am having the following issue on all PC in our network.
    Open Outlook.
    Open Word 2010.
    Click the Mailings tab.
    Click Envelopes.
    Click the Address Book button.
    From the Address Book drop-down select the Contacts folder.
    Right click in the list & select New Entry.
    Select New Contact & click OK.
    Fill in the basic info: name, email, phone numbers, address.
    Click Save & Close.
    At that point the contact form closes. It looks like the address book list is trying to come back but that is where it hangs. At that point the only option is to force Word to close. However, the new contact is created in Outlook.
    I can reproduce this with Word/Outlook 2010 RTM & SP1.
    Has anyone else ran into this before?
