How do I get text Messages from one phone to mine with a different Apple ID?
Go to Settings > Messages, turn off iMessage, turn it back on, tap Send & Receive, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage, then sign in with the same Apple ID used on your other devices.
Can I send iMessage without Apple ID?
No, you need an Apple ID for iMessage. iMessages which can only be sent between Apple devices require an Apple ID to do so.
Why can’t I send a iMessage to another Iphone?
iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient’s device. To check if iMessage is turned on for your device, go to Settings > Messages > iMessage. iMessage is temporarily unavailable on your device or on your recipient’s device.
What happens if you use your Apple ID for iMessage?
If you sign in to iMessage with the same Apple ID on all your devices, all the messages that you send and receive on iPhone also appear on your other Apple devices. Send a message from whichever device is closest to you, or use Handoff to start a conversation on one device and continue it on another.
Why are my iMessages green to another iPhone?
If your iPhone messages are green, it means that they’re being sent as SMS text messages rather than as iMessages, which appear in blue. iMessages only work between Apple users. You’ll always see green when writing to Android users, or when you’re not connected to the internet.
How do I send iMessage from one phone to another?
Each device is signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID. On iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Make sure that the Apple ID at the top of the screen is the same Apple ID that you’re using for iMessage on your other devices. Add a check to your phone number and email address, so that you can be reached by iMessage at both.
Do you have to have Apple ID to use iMessage?
Apple’s iMessage service is extremely popular among Apple users, as it offers a free and convenient way to text other iPhone, iPad, and Mac owners.

How to separate iMessages with shared Apple ID?
To directly answer your question, disabling iMessage on your iPhone will have no effect in fixing the reception of iMessages not intended for them. Like other answers mentioned, the best way is to set two new Apple IDs – one for your wife, and one for your son, and then sign into only Messages (Settings -> Messages) with that account.
Where do I find iMessage on my iPhone?
Each device is signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID. On iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Make sure that the Apple ID at the top of the screen is the same Apple ID that you’re using for iMessage on your other devices.
