Every time we reboot one of our iPads, we are asked to enable WiFi calling.  How do we make it stop asking?  The answer is always No. We do our calling on our iPhones.

  • How many devices are sharing the same Apple ID? How many cellular lines show under that Apple ID as an associated number for Messages and FaceTime?

  • Two iPads, two iPhones, and a Macbook Pro. Possibly devices we no longer have (some broken, some full reset). At one time, I had them set so that the phone numbers only rang the appropriate phone, and the other three each got messages/facetime only by its unique e-mail. But something later changed that so that now one ipad gets all of one phone's messages, and one phone doesn't ring for the other but does log its voice calls.

  • Oh wow. Does each phone have a unique cell from your carrier and then they all commingle on the AppleID for FaceTime / messages?

  • Five years ago (when I married her), IO got them to all work independently for phone, message, & FaceTime. But one or two years ago, one iPad started getting messages from one phone, and both phone call logs are the same even though only one phone rings. I don't know whether I changed that unintentionally or Apple did it by an update. I do know from observation that software updates often change settings.

You have to disable this from the iPhone itself.

Go to Settings → Cellular → Calls on Other Devices and toggle off the device(s) you don't want to receive calls.

You can disable it entirely (main switch at top) or individually per device.

  • It was already off on one iPhone. Interestingly, when I turned it on (temporarily), it said "Unable … must have the devices signed into the same Apple ID." But all of our devices are signed into the same Apple ID!

  • This really looks like the right answer—but, other devices was already off on both phones! Can it be from a previous phone that has been erased as a trade in?

  • Do you have multiple phones with the same AppleID?

  • Yes. Family share doesn't support some of the things we want to share. So all our devices are on the same Apple ID.

  • You have to apply those settings on all phones because, regardless of the phone number, they’ll ring to all devices
