Question 3:
I have a [iPhone 6 Plus with the iCloud apple id abc@gmail.com and SIM card 91234567] and a [iPhone 4S with the iCloud apple id def@gmail.com and SIM card 97654321], since the 2 phones have separate apple id in iCloud and different contact number, why the contact in iPhone 6 Plus suddenly merged into the iPhone 4S?

Answer 3
There are 2 places with your apple id that you need to change. One is your apple id in (iCloud), the other is your apple id in (iTunes and Apps Store). Make sure you check both sides having the same apple id.

With the 2 different iPhone but having the iTunes and Apple Store with the same Apple ID (abc@gmail.com) in both phone could have caused the Syn or Merge the iPhone contacts from iPhone 6 Plus into iPhone 4S

When I have this problem, I realized that my iPhone 6 Plus with the iCloud apple id abc@gmail.com and iTunes and App Store apple id is also abc@gmai.com

However, when I go to my iPhone 4S, I realized my iPhone 4S with the iCloud apple id def@gmail.com, but iTunes and App Store apple id is still abc@gmail.com.

It could be because of the that the iPhone 6 Plus contacts merge into the iPhone 4S

I did the following to change my iPhone 4S iTunes and App Store with the apple id abc@gmail,com to def@gmail.com

1. Go to iPhone 4S, Settings - iTunes & App Store
2. You will see the Apple ID is still abc@gmail.com
3. Click on the Apple ID - Sign Out
4. Apple ID become def@gmail.com or you key in def@gmail.com
5. Key in Password - Verify
6. Key in Personal information, address and credit card - Next - Agree - Agree
Now, your Apple id in iTunes & App Store should also reflect def@gmail.com
