I'm assuming they mean VoLTE?

No they mean CDMA. Alaska never had native CDMA coverage from Verizon, but Verizon chose to build out LTE over the roaming CDMA carrier there anyway. Now Verizon is going full native by adding CDMA there and making sure the network is completely to their standard.

Then they must've bought some more spectrum there

I don't think it was a spectrum restriction. I think it was simply, they didn't build out anything there. Though that is just speculation on my part.

According to the FCC spectrum dashboard all Verizon owns is 700. I thought I remembered reading before that was the reason they went only with a data network. Not sure why when they are this close to rolling out VoLTE they would actually go and put up CDMA tech only to shut it off in several years...

Yes, VZW CDMA1X would need to be deployed in Cellular 850 MHz or PCS 1900 MHz spectrum.  Unless I am unaware of a spectrum lease or affiliate type contract, VZW holds no spectrum in either band in Alaska.  So, I do not know what is going on with this voice service deployment.  Neal Gompa probably knows.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
