UK carrier EE has announced pricing details for iPhone Handoff, making it the first carrier in the UK to do so. The announcement came alongside its iPhone Duo preorder news.
At its September keynote, Apple unveiled iPhone Handoff, a feature that lets users use the same eSIM across multiple iPhones. The feature requires carrier support, and Apple said T-Mobile, Verizon, EE, and Deutsche Telekom would offer it. T-Mobile said it would cost $5/month as an add-on for a line, while Verizon has announced $10/month.
EE says iPhone Handoff will be included free with its Full Works Plus plan, which also includes Fast Lane. Customers on its other plans can add it for £5 per month on a rolling contract. The feature lets customers switch between two iPhone models with the same mobile number, keeping contacts, calls, and messages in sync wherever they go, whether at a festival, on a run, or on a hike.
The service is still listed as "coming soon," though Apple has said it will be available by the end of the year.
