Don't know if this really relates but it might make sense to your question

THAT is a fantastic piece of news. Thank you! Verizon says they are not going to do handover from LTE back to CDMA for VoLTE voice calls, but Metro has no choice but to try to do that, as they only have LTE in their own market and even then it's not as pervasive as their 1x/EVDO signal. Plus, when you travel outside the MetroPCS network bubble to the "extended home area" (i.e. Sprint roaming or Verizon TravelTalk), the phone call needs to continue seamlessly instead being dropped. So, this is good news for MetroPCS. They can't go to VoLTE until this is perfected.
