Everything is supported between later V and S iPhone models.(WiFi calling, CA, HD Voice, etc.) Nice thing about iPhones.

Yes everything is supported BUT some of the services need to be "Whitelisted" at the carrier. WiFi calling normally needs to be whitelisted at the carrier level.

You need to wait until iOS 12.1

Downloaded iOS 12.1 earlier today. Just came back from the supermarket. Just Sprint 1x and 3g. Still no T-Mobile roaming. Very sad.

That is the first step. More steps from Sprint now.

That is disappointing. I hope T-Mobile roaming will come to this phone soon.  Not interested in buying a new phone yet. The 7plus is holding up extremely well for a 2 year old phone. Very solid.

This is purely a guess but now that we know that the VoLTE trigger for the launch devices in the launch markets is in 12.1.1. (Currently Developer Beta 1) with a Carrier Bundle of 34.5.5 they might be using the T-mobile native roaming as a full in for VoLTE and it will be in that same bundle firmware update.

I can’t test this as I let my developer account lapse. I am hoping that the 12.1.1 is opened to beta testers today!

Got 12.1.1 on my iPhone 7 Plus. Still no T-Mobile roaming. I guess my expectations should be lowered. 

VoLTE not working either but that is not a big concern. I am in a launch market.

iPhone 7 works great on T-Mo native roaming - it's hard to know sometimes because it will often just say Sprint. This has been in effect since at least iOS 12.1. 

VoLTE does not work on iPhone 7 and below.

Can confirm that my iPhone 7+ is not only roams on T-mobile, but I do believe this week at least in the San Diego market, T-mobile has lifted the 5 Mbps data throttle. The grocery store I normally go to would typically go to 3G once entering the store and now I received about 4 bars of service with download speeds of 48 Mbps, upload speeds of 10 Mbps, & a ping time of 43ms. I did a field test and saw I was on Band 4.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
