[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1877267, member: 83420"] Once you have mulled over the above, a few general comments, if I may. "You" are the "owner" of all the Devices concerned. But assuming there are only two of you for the moment - "You" and "Other" and just talking about iPhones, although it applies to all devices: Your Apple ID will appear at the top of Settings on both iPhones. Moreover, if you go into Contacts on [U]both[/U] iPhones, "me" will be seen alongside "Your" name. That doesn't matter a hoot; but if "Other" wants to phone "You", it will seem to the iPhone that "Other" is phoning itself. Ditto text. You can live with that. But it can cause confusion. I advise that you consider doing this: What I did to ease matters was this: My Apple ID in Contacts is Ian T.... (it holds all the personal info about me) and appears on both iPhones as "me". On My iPhone I created a new Contact - Ian W T... with [U]only[/U] my Mobile/Cell Phone number. This syncs to my Wife's iPhone. She uses that contact to phone me and lists that Contact as her Emergency Contact. That way, there is no confusion. It nicely segregates "ownership" from individual. Admin chscag and others who share one Apple ID may have dealt with in other ways.?? Ian [/QUOTE]
