Calls answering on another device – how to fix this?

Easy for you to say! If only it were as simple for everyone. I’m wondering if manufacturers could do better with notifications for these settings.

If you’re facing issues with calls ringing on another device, check your VoIP settings first. Ensure that call forwarding is only set for the device you want the calls to come through. This helped me eliminate confusion.

Great tip! Also, try disabling ‘call waiting’ on the device you don’t want to use. This can streamline your calls and reduce interruptions.

I’ve noticed that using the same app on multiple devices sometimes creates conflict. Make sure you’re logged into the same account, but set preferences on the device you primarily use to receive calls.

A good idea! I’ve also configured my main device to prioritize notifications, so I never miss important calls.

You might want to check if you have device sync enabled. Sometimes, disabling it can really help in directing calls to your preferred device without any mix-ups.

Exactly! Plus, consider setting Do Not Disturb mode on the device you don’t want to receive calls. It saves you from distractions!

Has anyone tried using a separate app to manage calls across devices? I wonder if that could help with organization and make things less complicated?

I don’t get why people leave settings on by default that route calls to multiple devices. It’s counterintuitive, and it causes unnecessary confusion! Just be proactive.

Let’s not confuse proactive with paranoid! Sometimes it’s good to embrace a bit of chaos—keeps life interesting, right? Maybe I should just screen my calls instead.
