Hi Stephen You can’t really “Decide” who gets the calls coming in. Do you both get each others iMessages as well? Or just the calls? But one “work around” you can use is the following - Go to Settings - FaceTime. Under “You can be reached by FaceTime at”, untick your wife phone number. - you can do the same on hers for your number too if her’s rings for yours. You can also do this in iMessage as well if you get the same text messages. Settings - Messages - “Send & Receive” will show a number of addresses. Tap that. Deselect the one you don’t want to show.
That’s a quick and nasty way to do it if sharing the same AppleID. There’s a “better” way you can have seperate ones….but it’s quite involved to set it u (kinda). But you can both have seperate ones and still have access to shared Contacts and Calendars. When sharing the same AppleID you can’t iMessage or FaceTime each other - as you’re both on the same AppleID so it naturally assumes you can’t call yourself :) Kind regards Daniel Sent from my iPhone XS --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <daniel AT macwizardry.com.au> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Apple** NOTE: Any information provided in this email may be my personal opinion and as such should be taken accordingly, and may not be the views of MacWizardry.
