T-Mobile iPhone Handoff fee: What it is, how it works
If you want to use the new iPhone Handoff feature in iOS 27, T-Mobile isn't just giving it away for free.
T-Mobile has introduced a new iPhone Handoff feature as part of iOS 27, which allows eSIM users to utilize the same phone number across two iPhones and switch the active device as needed. However, this feature is currently exclusive to T-Mobile customers in the United States, and it comes with a monthly $5 fee. The handoff process is straightforward: unlock the desired iPhone, navigate to the eSIM section in Settings, select Phone, tap Continue, and then tap Transfer.
Upon unlocking the phone, a message will confirm that the device has been activated. While the feature seems intuitive, the decision to charge T-Mobile customers for this functionality is seen as a clear example of the corporation prioritizing profit over customer convenience.
