Overview
- Apple added iPhone Handoff as part of iOS 27 to let one phone number move between two iPhones, but Apple requires carriers to enable the feature for customers to use it.
- Verizon has confirmed it will support iPhone Handoff and place a $10 per month fee on compatible devices running iOS 27.
- T‑Mobile already offers the feature for $5 per month and Deutsche Telekom sells it through MultiSIM for €6.95 or includes it in some MagentaMobil plans.
- UK carrier EE will include Handoff on its top Full Works Plus plan and charge £5 per month for other plans, and AT&T says it has no immediate plans to adopt the feature.
- iPhone Handoff requires eSIM support, the same Apple ID on both phones, and lets only one device be active at a time, so recurring fees and carrier activation rules could limit practical use and shape adoption.
