EE announces iPhone Handoff pricing details for UK customers

As part of its iPhone Duo preorder announcement, UK carrier EE has announced pricing details for iPhone Handoff – making it the first carrier in the UK to do so. Here are the details.

At its September keynote, Apple announced iPhone Handoff, a feature that allows users to use their same eSIM across multiple iPhones. It requires support from carriers, and at the keynote, Apple announced T-Mobile, Verizon, EE, and Deutsche Telekom would support it. T-Mobile said it’d be available for $5/month as an add-on for your line, and Verizon just announced it’d be $10/month.

Now, EE is announcing that iPhone Handoff will be available for free as part of its Full Works Plus plan, and available for £5/month on its other plans:

iPhone Handoff allows customers to easily switch back and forth between two iPhone models with the same mobile number. It means customers can choose the iPhone that’s right for the moment, without worrying about missing a call, message or notification.

Whether you’re heading to a festival, going for a run, tackling an all-day hike or simply travelling lighter, your contacts, calls and messages move seamlessly with you.

Included with EE’s Full Works Plus plan which includes Fast Lane, or available for £5 per month on a rolling contract, iPhone Handoff is coming soon and offers a level of flexibility and convenience that isn’t available anywhere else in the UK.

It’s worth noting that it’s still “coming soon,” though Apple did announce that it’ll be available by the end of the year.
