“I understand this phone "works" on T Mobile, BUT, does it provide full access to special T Mobile features such as wifi calling or VoltE calling? Or do I have to purchase the TMobile specific version of the Galaxy S7 to use those features?”

I can confirm VoLTE and WiFi calling both work fine on T-Mobile out of the box without any issues. Wifi calling works fine on Sprint. AT&T is another story. No WiFi calling or "enhanced LTE services" at this time. Hopefully an update will enable those features in the future.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm not sure what special Tmobile features their version may have to compare to, but there is a setting to turn on or off the VoLTE calling under the mobile network, and also another setting under phone to use wifi preferred, network preferred, or only wifi calling. So the phone itself is capable of doing both, and I have Tmobile as my provider.

This unlocked version of the phone does work with T-Mobile's Wifi calling and it does have VoLTE Call enabled. What it does not have is the ability to do Video Call Over LTE. The reason I even noticed this is because I saw a branded T-Mobile s7 with the capability of this on the dial screen. The T-Mobile branded s7 showed a video camera icon that I do not have on my unlocked s7. Contacted T-mobile stating what I noticed and asked how I can enable that feature on my unlocked Galaxy s7. After various menus and checking to see if I had the correct settings turned on, at the end of the conversation with the trouble shooting they told me that it is not a feature found on my unlocked phone. I don't think the unlocked version will ever have that capability and it seems that it is only available with the branded T-Mobile s7 to do Video Call Over LTE. So for me that is somewhat of a deal breaker in regards to keeping the phone at all, if they have a another fire sale for the T-mobile branded version I'm gonna buy that one and sell this unlocked version of it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When you activate on tmobile - you purchase a sum card. This gives you all available services on the network.
