T-Mobile Slaps a Monthly Fee on Apple's Multi-iPhone Number Sharing
T-Mobile has announced a $5 monthly charge for customers wishing to use Apple's latest iPhone Handoff capability, which enables a single phone number to be shared across two separate iPhone devices. This feature, introduced as part of Apple's recent software ecosystem updates, allows users to receive calls and messages seamlessly on a secondary device without needing a separate line. While the technology simplifies multi-device usage, T-Mobile is among the first carriers to monetize the convenience, requiring a specific add-on plan to activate the synchronization service.
