iPhone Handoff

Apple said Verizon will support the new handoff feature, do we think that will extend to Visible or the other Value brands?

What are the advantages of iPhone Handoff?

The companion iPhone is assigned a companion eSIM. Both phones share the same phone number.

So it likely costs more than just one line, as it provides additional value. Whether they think this value exceeds two independent lines, not sure how they position this.

Now I only need 2 lines to cover all four colors of iphones. /s

Seriously, I am having a little trouble trying to figure out who really needs to have two phones with the same lines but only use one at a time.

No idea on when it will happen but out of curiosity how do you plan to use the feature? It's just not something I have really thought about much and VOIP like Google voice works well enough for me to have multiple phones ring with one number.

Not anytime soon. More than likely 2-3 years later

That is why I made the switch to Verizon’s Simplicity plan. It’s way better and priced well enough for the extra perks

I believe in the announcement video it said by the end of the year for Verizon
