With the talks of Sprint merging with Tmobile, could this affect wifi calling on unlocked Note 8 and other Samsung models?

Meaning if they become one can they decide to take this feature away since Sprint wifi calling doesn't work on unlocked. I would hope this isn't the case because I wanted to buy the unlocked Note 9 and I use tmobile.
 
You can install the ''Digits" app to get T-Mobile WiFi calling on any Android phone that supports Wifi.
Incoming SMS messages don't seem to work though.

Even if they do merge it will still take a while before the network and things like that play catch-up so you don't have to worry about this.
 
It was my experience that an unlocked phone will not work with T-mobile"s Wi-Fi Calling or VOLTE.

Was this the factory unlocked phone or carrier unlocked? Samsung factory unlocked phones are supposed to work with wifi calling on tmobiel.
