Verizon officially confirms $10 monthly fee for iPhone Handoff

Official

Verizon has officially announced that Apple's new iPhone Handoff feature will cost $10 per month, double T-Mobile's $5 monthly fee.

Verizon has officially confirmed that iPhone Handoff, a new iOS 27 feature that lets users share a single phone number across two iPhones, will be offered for $10 per month. That is twice the $5 monthly fee charged by T-Mobile.

Apple first previewed the feature at WWDC and detailed it at its 'Surprise and Shine' event. It works with the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro models, switching active status between devices while keeping Verizon 5G access.

Verizon says support is 'coming soon,' and Apple previously said Verizon would adopt it before the end of the year. In Germany, Deutsche Telekom charges €6.95 per month, free on MagentaMobil L and XL plans. U.K. carrier EE will soon support it, free on Full Works Plus or £5 per month otherwise. AT&T suggested it has no imminent plans to support iPhone Handoff.

A phone number can only be active on one iPhone at a time. The news was reported by 9to5Mac and MacRumors.

For buyers in Egypt and the Gulf, there is no information yet on local carrier support for iPhone Handoff. The iPhone 17 is currently available in Egypt at 68,475 EGP on Amazon.eg, in Saudi Arabia at 3,599 SAR on Amazon.sa, and in the UAE at 3,398 AED at Sharaf DG. Since the feature depends on carriers, its arrival in the region will likely depend on local operator announcements.
