Verizon plans to charge customers $10 per month for the iPhone Handoff feature Apple added in iOS 27. iPhone Handoff lets you share a phone number on two separate iPhones.
Pricing was included in Verizon’s iPhone Duo announcement today, with the carrier confirming that the iPhone Handoff will work with the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro models.
Verizon will support iPhone Handoff, giving customers the ability to use a single Verizon phone number seamlessly across two compatible iPhone models. Whether using the pocket-sized iPhone Duo on the go or the iPhone 18 Pro for work, customers can change active status between devices at any time while maintaining full access to Verizon’s 5G network. iPhone Handoff will be available from Verizon for $10/month on compatible iPhone models running iOS 27.
With iPhone Handoff, users can switch between a primary and companion iPhone at will, although a phone number can only be active on one iPhone at a time. Verizon says support is “coming soon,” and Apple previously said Verizon would adopt the feature before the end of the year.
US carrier T-Mobile already supports iPhone Handoff, but only charges $5 per month for the feature. AT&T, the third major US carrier, recently hinted that it has no imminent plans to support the iPhone Handoff.
British carrier EE also announced this week that it will soon support iPhone Handoff. Customers on EE’s Full Works Plus plan will get a free iPhone transfer, while other EE users can get it for £5 a month.
Deutsche Telekom in Germany is the only other carrier to add support for iPhone Handoff so far. It costs €6.95 per month, but the operator includes it for free in the MagentaMobil L and XL plans.
