Five dollars a month. That is what T-Mobile is charging US customers to run one phone number across two iPhones with the new iPhone Handoff feature in iOS 27.
Apple’s feature lets you move between two iPhones while keeping the same number on each. T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom are the first carriers to offer it. Apple has said Verizon and EE will follow later this year.
The pricing
Deutsche Telekom asks for €6.95 a month, though only on plans that do not already include multi-SIM functionality. T-Mobile says Handoff is available on any iPhone running iOS 27 through the phone’s settings, and “ready to use from day one on the new iPhone 18 Pro lineup and iPhone Duo.”
AT&T hedges
The detail that matters for the rest of the US market is AT&T’s reply. A spokesperson told CNET the carrier sees “potential” in Handoff but remains focused on “existing eSIM activation and transfer options.” Pressed further, the spokesperson said: “our focus remains on delivering innovations that make life simpler and keep customers connected with confidence.”
MacRumors read that as no imminent plans, though AT&T did not rule the feature out for good.
