Two iPhones on the same iCloud account I have two iPhones with separate phone numbers and would like to use one as a backup for the other on different carriers. If I use the same iCloud account for both and then forward calls from my primary phone to the other phone, will this give me a fully functioning backup for calls and text messages. The reason for this is that I am frequently in areas where one carrier has coverage and the other does not. Will both devices share everything? Any thoughts?

Dual phone data transfer Hello, I with an I phone 14 pro max wanted to transfer data to my mothers phone (I phone 14). The issue is she wants to keep her data and I want to keep mine through the transfer. We both want to keep our current numbers but just transfer everything to the other phone, basically making her phone mine and my phone hers. I thought about backing my data up on I cloud, and wiping my i phone 14 pro max, then just going through a normal transfer from her phone to mine. Then downloading my I cloud data on to her phone! But the only issue is I don’t know how my current phone number would transfer to her phone.

How does Apple/iCloud backup handle data/text messages with an iPhone using dual sims? I want to use dual sims with my iPhone 14ProMax. How does Apple or iCloud backup handle the data, text messages and call information? Is this information stored separately by number or only by Apple ID? For example, I am using two iPhones with different numbers right now. If I started using dual sims on one iPhone, will the text message history/data and calling information on the phone I am no longer going to use make it to the iPhone using dual sims? Also, should I decide to stop using an iPhone with dual sims, is it possible to separate texts/call information to be put on their respective devices? Or how do you separate contacts/text messages from the different numbers to the two different iPhones? Thanks ..

The cellular phone company doesn't matter.

To use a backup to setup a new phone, see: Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

I recently used the Quick Start option instead of restoring a backup and it worked very well.
