Hey Syaoran,
Roaming is enabled and VoLTE is as well.
My phone was already connected to the T Mobile network automatically but I tried connecting manually with no success.
I didn't purchase the phone from Telus, but I was in NYC a couple weeks ago and used this phone and plan with no issues.
Thanks for the response!
What device are you using? T-Mobile primarily uses bands 2, 4, 12, 66, and 71 for 4G LTE. That doesn't mean they are all deployed in the same place though. T-mobile has a big presence in Nevada. T-Mobile Arena as one big example. You might be running into band 71 coverage that your device might not support. If your device supports VoNR. N2, N41, N66, and N71 would be the standard NR possibilities.. mmWave is also available in parts of Nevada.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G, I just did a check on T Mobile's Bring Your Own Device checker, by entering the IMEI and there wasn't any flags about the device not working on their network as well.
