Verizon plans to charge customers $10 a month for the iPhone Handoff feature that 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 iPhone Handoff will work with the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro models.
Verizon will support iPhone Handoff, giving customers the flexibility 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 switch focus between devices at any time while maintaining full access to Verizon’s 5G network. iPhone Handoff will be available from Verizon for $10 per month on iOS 27-compatible iPhone models.
With iPhone Handoff, users can switch between their primary iPhone 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 by the end of the year.
US carrier T-Mobile already supports iPhone Handoff, but charges just $5 per month for the feature. AT&T, the third largest U.S. carrier, recently said it has no imminent plans to support iPhone Handoff.
British airline EE also said this week that it will soon support iPhone Handoff. Customers on EE’s Full Works Plus plan will receive iPhone Handoff for free, while other EE users can get it for £5 a month.
Deutsche Telekom in Germany is the only other carrier that has added 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.
