    Cellular or mobile calls and texts have nothing to do with iCloud/iMessage or apple id. Only FaceTime or imessage

    Yeah but I was under the impression if two devices were using the same Apple ID that incoming calls and texts come through on both. So if the gf and her friend are using the same ID they would come through on both.

    The only thing that can happen regards to texts and calls if three phones have the same Apple ID is that the iMessage would appear on all phones.

    Or if the girlfriend and the so called hacker have the same ID then then the iMessage would appear on both phones and the "hacker" can send iMessages with the girlfriends ID.

    Not 100% sure what happens with FaceTime. I know you can't make FaceTime calls to the same Apple ID. So you can't call from your phone to your iPad if they have the same I'd. Fr me it comes up as missed call straight away.

    As for intercepting and blocking normal calls and text. Not possible unless they cloned the SIM card.

    I can call my iPhone from my iPad on the same apple ID, haven't checked the other way round. It's definitely facetime as I have the wifi iPad, not 3G.

    FaceTimes calls aren't made to Apple IDs as such, they are made to email addresses/phone numbers associated with Apple IDs. So, yes, it's possible to make a FaceTime call to a device logged in with the same ID, provided it's not to the same email address/phone number. Otherwise it will come up as a missed call as mad muffin said.

    So if I make a FaceTime call from my Mac (using my email address as the Caller ID) to my phone number - it will work. But if I make a call to myself using my phone number as the caller ID, the call will fail and my phone will show a missed call.

    In other words, what Herrick described above: FaceTime calls coming through on multiple devices at the same time - making it possible for someone to cancel a call from another device - isn't possible. With iMessage, yes, but not FaceTime.

    Don't be ridiculous. Gardai intervention is hardly warranted here.

    In a chat and telling them about what is happening I'd tell the person you suspect that you went to the guards and reported it and quote the law that was stated above.

    Hopefully it might frighten the life out of them and they would stop this sh*te.
