Will my Xiaomi phone work with the T-mobile network ?
Hello I am preparing for a 6 month internship in San Diego for next year. I am trying to find a phone plan for my Xiaomi Note 11 (IMEI 869264060207760). From my research, it looks like it doesn't...
Put a T-Mobile SIM in the device, reboot it, and see if you can enable VoLTE. That doesn't look like great coverage based on band 4. How up to date is that map also? Most.of what T-Mobile uses currently for LTE are bands: 12, 66 (extension of band 4), and 71.

There is still no guarantee it will. It ultimately depends on the device's carrier profile that is hard set. If that carrier profile is compatible with T-Mobile USA. You will get VoLTE and maybe VoNR when in the US. If the carrier profile of the device is not compatible with T-Mobile USA. You will still have data and texts, but you won't be able to make or receive calls.
Do you know if your device is running the China or Global firmware? The China firmware is not compatible with T-Mobile. See devices running the Global firmware are. Some can be made to work but it requires an understanding of how Qualcomm's tools work. Messing with this can easily hard brick your device.
