Based on what little information I could find, it isn’t possible to use the same phone number on 2 Apple IDs. You will be told the number is already in use. You can try to set that up without causing any problems.

You can’t have two on the phone. But, you can create a new one and use it from your phone. See:

How to create a new Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204316. See the data implications below.

Some of these things may apply even though not changing an Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID or password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071

Keep in mind that some things available under a first Apple ID will not be available under a new Apple ID. For example, you won’t be able to transfer anything purchased from the App and iTunes Stores to the new ID. And, there are other issues to be addressed.

And see what Eric Root says on this matter here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251483565and

You also can set up family sharing between the IDs to share purchases made with them. See:

Using Dual SIM with an eSIM

An eSIM is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan from your carrier without having to use a physical nano-SIM. With iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 mini, you can use Dual SIM with either two active eSIMs or a nano-SIM and an eSIM. iPhone 12 models, iPhone 11 models, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, feature Dual SIM with a nano-SIM and an eSIM. 1

How can you use Dual SIM?

• Use one number for business and another number for personal calls.
• Add a local data plan when you travel outside of the country or region.
• Have separate voice and data plans.

With iOS 13 and later, both of your phone numbers can make and receive voice and FaceTime calls and send and receive messages using iMessage, SMS, and MMS. 2 Your iPhone can use one cellular data network at a time.

If you want to use 5G with Dual SIM on iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, or iPhone 12 Pro Max, make sure that you have iOS 14.5 or later.

What you need

• An iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, or later with iOS 12.1 or later
• A wireless carrier that supports eSIM

To use two different carriers, your iPhone must be unlocked. Otherwise, both plans must be from the same carrier. If a CDMA carrier provides your first SIM, your second SIM won’t support CDMA. Contact your carrier for more information.

If you have an enterprise or corporate cellular service plan, check with your company administrator to see if they support this feature.

Set up your cellular plan with eSIM

On iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 mini, you can use two eSIMs for two or more cellular plans—two active at the same time—or a physical nano-SIM for a cellular plan and an eSIM for one or more other cellular plans.

On iPhone 12 models, iPhone 11 models, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, you can use a physical nano-SIM for a cellular plan and an eSIM for one or more other cellular plans. If you don’t have a nano-SIM and your carrier supports it, an eSIM can serve as your only cellular plan. The eSIM provided by your carrier is stored digitally in your iPhone.

You can store more than one eSIM in your iPhone, but you can use only one at a time. To switch eSIMs, tap Settings, tap either Cellular or Mobile Data, and then tap the plan you want to use. Then tap Turn On This Line.

Label your plans

After your second plan is activated, label your plans. For example, you can label one plan Business and the other plan Personal.

You’ll use these labels when you choose which phone number to use for making or receiving calls and messages, to designate a number for cellular data, and to assign a number to your contacts so you know which number you will use.

If you change your mind later, you can change your labels by going to Settings, tapping either Cellular or Mobile Data, and then tapping the number whose label you want to change. Then tap Cellular Plan Label and select a new label or enter a custom label.

Set your default number

Choose a number to use when you call or send a message to someone who isn’t in your Contacts app. With iOS 13 and later, choose which cellular plans you want to use for iMessage and FaceTime. With iOS 13 and later, you can choose either or both numbers.

On this screen, choose a number to be your default, or you can choose which number is to be used only for cellular data. Your other number will be your default. If you want your iPhone to use cellular data from both plans, depending on coverage and availability, turn on Allow Cellular Data Switching.

Use two phone numbers for calls, messages, and data

Now that your iPhone is set up with two phone numbers, here’s how to use them.

Let your iPhone remember which number to use

When you call one of your contacts, you don’t need to choose which number to use every time. By default, your iPhone uses the same number that you used the last time you called that contact. If you haven’t called that contact, your iPhone uses your default number. You can also specify which number to use for your calls with a contact. Follow these steps:

1. Tap the contact.
2. Tap Preferred Cellular Plan.
3. Tap the number you want to use with that contact.

Make and receive calls

You can make and receive phone calls with either phone number.

With iOS 13 and later, when you’re on a call, if the carrier for your other phone number supports Wi-Fi calling, you can answer incoming calls on your other number. When you’re on a call using a line that isn’t your designated line for cellular data, you need to turn on Allow Cellular Data Switching to receive calls from your other line. If you ignore the call and you have voicemail set up with your carrier, you’ll get a missed-call notification and the call will go to voicemail. Check with your carrier for Wi-Fi calling availability and find out whether additional fees or data usage applies from your data provider.

If you’re on a call and your other line shows No Service, either your carrier doesn’t support Wi-Fi calling or you don’t have Wi-Fi calling turned on. 3 It could also mean Allow Cellular Data Switching is not turned on. When you’re on a call, an incoming call on your other phone number will go to voicemail if you set up voicemail with your carrier. 4 However, you won’t get a missed-call notification from your secondary number. Call Waiting works for incoming calls on the same phone number. To avoid missing an important call, you can turn on call forwarding and forward all calls from one number to the other. Check with your carrier for availability and to find out whether additional fees apply.

Question: Q: how do I have more than one phone number associated with my iMessages

The answer to whether you can is Yes.

Add the Apple ID to the Second iPhone.
Restart the app on the Mac and accept the pop ups that tell which Number and Apple ID that iPhone is using.

I do in fact have a Second iPhone.

I also happen to have @iCloud .com and @me.com variations now to may Apple ID since I linked it to iCloud.

In Mountain Lion and Messages 7 it appeared that Messages would treat these IDs as separate entities.

In Mavericks and Messages 8 it seems less clear.

Messages on the Mac keep trying to add the second iPhone Number and the ID on that phone to Messages.

So far I have managed to keep the second iPhone Number out of the settings but the Second ID keeps appearing.

I try to keep mine separate for testing purposes.

However if you are the only one with access to both Phones then any issues about «Sharing the ID» should not arise.

As Carolyn has linked you to, the issues start when several people share the ID across several phones but are making contact with different people that they may not want to «share» with everyone else that is using that ID.

I would use separate IDs for iTunes and App Store compared to FaceTime and Messages if you are in a situation similar to the Linked item.

HI Ralph thanks for the response. I am the only one who uses the iphones — but want my imessages from my single Mac account to appear on both. I have added my AppleID to the 2nd phone — but the number isn’t appearing on imessages on my Mac — although I can send and receive messages from that phone — but they do not appear in the conversations with the same people on my mac.

Your screenshot only shows one phone number — the same as mine.

I just don’t think what I want to do is possible.

I really want to add another phone number just like you can with email addresses.

I have had two phone numbers show in that pic (or what that pic shows).

However it also showed the second Apple ID as well.

AS I didn’t want the second phone added to the iMessages account (I wanted it to have it’s Own) I deleted the .plist that contains the Apple ID and all the «Aliases».

In Mountain Lion this was com.apple.imservice.imessages.plist

In Mavericks it is com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist

That’s how I removed it.

I just Added the Mac’s Apple ID to the Second iPhone.

The Pic now looks like this

Does the procedure you describe above work only if the two numbers are active simultaneously (i.e. in two different phones)?

I have one iPhone (factory unlocked) but two SIM cards from two different carriers. One for use in the US, and one for use in the UAE, so that I have local phone numbers in both places. Thus, I have two different phone numbers associated with my Apple ID.

iMessage works beautifully with either number when the SIM card for that number is in the phone. But obviously I have no access to iMessages sent to the US number when the UAE SIM card is in the phone, nor do I have access to messages sent to the UAE number when the US SIM is in the phone.

Now that I have both iOS 8 and Yosemite, and have set up text message forwarding, I wonder if it’s possible to set things up so that messages sent to both numbers are forwarded to my Macs. I’m expecting the answer to be «no» — I can’t imagine how messages sent to a number associated with a SIM card that is in my wallet, not my phone, are going to get delivered to my Mac — but I’m wondering if it’s possible.

I know you’ll tell me that I can use iMessage to/from email address regardless of the active phone number — and I know that — but that’s not what I want to do. Some contacts have only my mobile number — I don’t want them to have my email address — but I’d still like to be able to receive iMessages from them. Getting a second phone seems to be a possible fix, but a costly and inefficient one. Any ideas?

Question: Q: two iphones (two numbers) one apple id

so i got two iphones and have two different numbers, how do i used them with my apple id? one apple id is enough? or is better to have to separate for each phone?

iPhone 11, iOS 13

It depends. Do you want both phones to share call logs, messages, contacts and other data? If so one AppleID will work.

If you want to keep their data separate, two AppleIDs would be best.

You could use one AppleID with the App, music and book stores on both, so all your purchases are tied to one AppleID. But use different AppleIDs to sign into iCloud to keep all your iCloud sync’d data separate.

Alternatively you could use different AppleIDs on each for everything. Then set up family sharing between the two to share purchases Or iCloud storage between them.

That applies to me too actually — I don’t use icloud much but I recently had my phone stolen so I wanted to just check if anything had been backed up and realise that my icloud account is backing up my son’s phone which is linked to my Apple ID. How do you get different AppleIDs? Thank you in advance.

Sep 21, 2020 5:17 AM

Just have him make himself his own AppleID. Sign your AppleID out of everything (iCloud. Messaging, FaceTime, the App, Music and Book stores) and sign back in with his own AppleID. The first time he signs into iCloud with his AppleID, he will complete the iCloud account setup process and create his own iCloud email address (which will serve as an alias or alternate login ID for his AppleID).

You can set up family sharing and invite him to join so he can continue to use and update the Apps purchased under your AppleID.

If 13 years old or older.

If under 13 years old, you will need to set up Family Sharing to create an ID.

What to do after you change your Apple ID or password — Apple Support I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.

Sep 21, 2020 7:02 AM

Thank you for your quick reply! He’s 12 at the moment so I think I’ll have to do the family sharing. Thank you.
