Apple has introduced iPhone Handoff, a feature that lets a user use a single phone number across two iPhones, with the number transferring based on which device the user picks up. Multiple reports say cellular-carrier support is required for the feature to work.
According to outlets covering the issue, AT&T does not appear to have plans to support iPhone Handoff. One report frames the situation as AT&T’s lack of interest in adopting the feature, while another notes that although AT&T has historically been closely associated with early iPhone availability, it still does not show support for this newer Apple capability.
The articles also describe iPhone Handoff’s functional purpose—avoiding the need to choose only one iPhone—while contrasting that broader rollout efforts to other carriers have not extended to AT&T, at least as of the time of reporting.
