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 ...
Software updates are determined by the devices firmware. Running Korean firmware, the device will only get updates that were released in that region.
VoLTE is pretty important because that will be a requirement for all devices using the T-Mobile network soon enough. Whether or not the Korean firmware has compatible VoLTE with T-Mobile, I have no idea. The Sprint version is very CDMA dependent. T-Mobile has converted Sprint's CDMA bands to GSM, leaving that device useless on the T-Mobile network.
