When iOS 27 lands later this month, Apple will add a feature called iPhone Handoff that lets you switch between two iPhones using the same phone number; a demo in Xcode 27’s Device Hub shows pairing a main device with a companion, though carrier support (with references to T-Mobile US and Telekom.de) will be required for full functionality, likely timed to the broader launch window around Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra.
T-Mobile is testing iPhone Handoff, a feature that would let two iPhones share a single phone number by using a primary device with the main eSIM and a secondary device with a companion eSIM; the feature is carrier-dependent, in beta on T-Mobile and not yet live, with a broader rollout expected to follow on other carriers.
Apple’s iOS 27 adds a feature called iPhone Handoff that lets two iPhones share the same phone number by designating a main device (with the main eSIM) and a companion device (receiving a secondary eSIM). Setup is in Settings > Cellular, and the system will manage cellular settings from the main iPhone while location sharing depends on the active device. Carrier support is expected and two iPhones running iOS 27 are required, with early mentions that carriers like T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom may offer it; after beta testing, iOS 27 is planned for release later this month.
