One of the upcoming features of iOS 27 is something called iPhone Handoff. Now, this will require carrier participation, which means additional fees. If you are planning to take advantage of it, know that T-Mobile will charge $5 a month to use the iPhone Handoff feature.
T-Mobile charges $5 for iPhone Handoff feature
The pricing for the iPhone Handoff feature on T-Mobile was revealed when the carrier announced it would be selling Apple’s brand new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models. It is priced at $5 a month and users will be able to use it like a normal line. So that means you can make calls, send text, use data, and enable mobile hotspots. You also get access to Scam Shield and T-Satellite, assuming you have an eligible plan.
At $5 a month, it’s relatively inexpensive. But if you were hoping to get it for free, think of it like this: it’s still cheaper than subscribing to a brand new line. Obviously there’s a little bit more tinkering involved, like turning on the feature. But honestly, that’s the only “hurdle,” if you can call it that.
What is iPhone Handoff?
Just in case you’re hearing about this feature for the first time, iPhone Handoff is an upcoming feature from iOS 27 that lets users use two iPhones while sharing the same number. This will come in handy for a variety of purposes.
For instance, if you’re traveling, you can use iPhone Handoff to enable your number on an older and cheaper iPhone. So if your phone gets stolen or lost, it won’t feel as painful. You can also set it so that one iPhone is for work and one is for personal, but at the same time, you can still be contacted via the same number.
But like we said earlier, this requires carrier support. During Apple’s iPhone 18 announcement, they revealed that there will only be a handful of carriers that will support it. This includes T-Mobile in the US and Deutsche Telekom in Germany. We expect that eventually more carriers will get on board, but for now, these are the only two.
