Supporting LTE is one thing. Supporting VoLTE is anther. Many LTE phones
don't have VolTE or support for VoLTE on T-Mo/Sprint.
(think older phones, alnd also embeded devices).

Remember that Sprint has a lot of MVNOs that target the low end.

A handset that doesn't have LTE bands for T-Mo, Sprint and Verizon is
not likely t also have supported VoLTE.

Of those that have VoLTE supported on the new T-Mo network, they likely
have all the bands needed to opperated on T-Mo/Sprint as well as AT&T or
Verizon.

The combined T-Mo and Sprint networks will still have a smaller footprnt
compared to either At&T and Verizon. So will T-Mo still have a need to
be able to roam onto the larger network?

Ar you kidding me?  AT&T or Verizon allowing T-Mo to roam on their
network brings in lots of cash. But it is a marketing issue because
their advantage of having better coverage is less marked.
