Sprint LG V50 phone on T_Mobile
Hi, I recently bought a Sprint branded LG V50 which works reasonably well on T-Mobile. I found out that the phone will no longer work after Jan 2021 because Sprint/T-Mobile is not porting VoLTE and ...
Update...LG V50 is still working the same as before, no issues as of Today, July 3rd. Tmo network data is LTE, however calls do drop to 3g (although supposedly Tmo has disabled it). I suspect that it's possibly showing 3g, but actually connecting LTE. Wifi voLTE is still working perfectly, as does data and text.
I did switch to the LG V60 a few weeks ago, in anticipation of the V50 being non-functional. Decided to check today, and it didn't happen. I'm going to continue to use my V50 until I either find an upgrade I actually want some day, or Tmo disables their network with this phone. Will update again either way, and still love this phone. V60 is a great device, but the size and unreliable in-screen fingerprint is a deal breaker, and I think LG made a big mistake with their final flagship not having face recognition. Doesn't matter since they folded anyway.
