Cruise/airplane mode issues

my son and I share same apple ID, when on a cruise and in airplane mode and on wifi, I get his texts and not mine. and when i send a text it shows coming from him...if i uncheck his number as one i am reachable at, will it affect his service? I will cruising again this week and he will be staying home, so I'd like to have us both be able to use our phones.....

Apple IDs are personal; they shouldn’t be shared any more than you would share a toothbrush. If you share an Apple ID with someone else many bad things will happen. Each user should have their own Apple ID, then you can create Family Sharing→What is Family Sharing? - Apple Support. That way you can share what you want to share and not share what you don’t want to share.


It is OK to share an Apple ID among devices used by one person, such as an iPhone, an iPad and a Mac; in fact, it is a very useful thing to do. But not between devices used by different people.


Here is Apple’s FAQ: https://appleid.apple.com/faq/#!&page=faq. See the 4th bullet item.
