Re: WiFi Calling on T-Mobile
T-Mobile phones will get direct OTA updates from Google, so if the cited update is at an incremental level to the 5.0 OS, they'll be fine. If it's a specific update from T-Mobile, T-Mobile has the capacity to provision based on IMEI's associated with their billing systems, so the only reason one purchased from the Play store and active on a T-Mobile number would not receive it would be if T-Mobile specifically chose to exclude them. I doubt that would be the case, as there is no upside to that practice for them (unlike companies like Verizon for whom whitelisting encourages purchase of devices (and hence contract extensions)).
I'm not trying to 'confirm' that it absolutely will work; rather, just to point out that there appears to be neither a technological roadblock nor a business incentive that would encourage against it.
This has been shared before. But I think the real question is will TMo Wifi calling update come to those who order the N6 via Playstore and not from Tmo stores. I don't think anyone has an answer yet.
