Summary

  • EE said iPhone Handoff will be included free with its Full Works Plus plan or cost £5 a month on other plans, making it the first UK carrier to publish pricing.
  • Apple unveiled the feature in September as a way to let users share one eSIM and mobile number across two iPhones, switching devices without missing calls, texts or notifications.
  • The service still lacks a launch date from EE, though Apple has said carrier-backed iPhone Handoff should arrive by the end of the year.
  • EE’s pricing puts the UK offer alongside U.S. carrier plans already disclosed by Apple partners: T-Mobile at $5 a month and Verizon at $10.
