Verizon Charges $10 Monthly Fee for Apple iPhone Handoff
Verizon confirmed it will charge customers $10 per month for Apple’s iPhone Handoff feature, matching an announcement regarding the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro models. MacRumors reported the pricing details, noting that the feature allows a single phone number to be shared across two separate devices running iOS 27.
Apple originally previewed iPhone Handoff to let users switch their active phone number between a main device and a companion device at will. Verizon stated that support is coming soon, giving customers the flexibility to use a single phone number across compatible hardware while maintaining full access to the carrier’s 5G network.
Carrier Pricing Comparisons Across Markets
Carriers have adopted vastly different pricing structures for iPhone Handoff since Apple announced the feature. 9to5Mac reported that T-Mobile charges $5 per month for the capability, making Verizon’s $10 monthly fee exactly twice as expensive for U.S. subscribers.

International carriers have introduced their own tiers for the multi-device feature. U.K. carrier EE announced that iPhone Handoff will cost £5 per month for standard users, though it will be included at no additional charge for customers subscribed to the Full Works Plus plan. Meanwhile, Deutsche Telekom in Germany prices the feature at €6.95 per month while bundling it into MagentaMobil L and XL plans.
Carrier Support Status and Exclusions
Major carriers are split on adopting Apple’s multi-device sharing tool. AT&T has no imminent plans to support iPhone Handoff, telling CNET last month that its focus remains on existing eSIM activation and transfer options.
Apple previously indicated that Verizon would roll out support before the end of the year. While users can switch their phone number between devices as needed, the system restricts active use so that a single phone number can only operate on one iPhone at a time.
