Verizon announced that it will support Apple's new iPhone Handoff feature on iOS 27 for $10 a month. The carrier described the add-on as "coming soon" as it prepares to offer the iPhone Duo, allowing subscribers to link a single eSIM phone number across two compatible devices such as the Duo and the iPhone 18 Pro.

The capability requires both handsets to run iOS 27 and be signed in to the same Apple ID. Devices cannot use the shared line simultaneously; instead, unlocking a device makes it active, transferring calls, messages, and Find My while displaying a notification confirming the switch. Backups continue to sync through iCloud. [1]
Verizon's rate doubles the $5 monthly cost charged by T-Mobile in the United States, while Germany's Deutsche Telekom offers the tool through its €6.95 MultiSIM service. Meanwhile, AT&T has signaled no plans to implement the feature, opting to stick with existing eSIM transfer methods. [1][2]
