Does this phone support Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA), or WiFi calling, like the older T-Mobile BlackBerries do?

To put it simply: For 3G this phone supports UMTS 900/1900/2100 MHz frequencies. T-Mobile 3G (in the US) uses AWS 1700/2100 MHz (up link/down link) so the phone can't get to the 1700MHz frequency band to make the connection.

Blackberry 9700 will work with TMobile if it is locked to tmobile or unlocked. What service was the phone previously using? Does it use a SIM card (GSM phone)?

It only partially supports T-Mobile 3G/4G HSPA bands. It does not support the 1700mhz band which is what the majority of T-Mobile's 3G/4G HSPA service uses. They have refarmed some areas to use the 1900mhz band but not all of them. It is also hard to find out what areas have been refarmed but there is a map out there somewhere that shows it. However, it does appear to have full 2G and 4G LTE coverage

Yes. This phone is usable on T-Mobile IF it is an unlocked phone. However, there appears to be an issue with SMS.

This phone don't have WIFI capability, It will work fine GSM wise in Venezuela, But you have to configure the WEB and MMS setting. I recommend you to buy A Blackberry that is Full GSM phone, Not Dual CDMA and GSM like BB9530

WiFi calling from Tmobile? if thats what you want then ask T-Mobile otherwise, Google provides wifi calling on all the 4.1+ phones

Yes but to my knowledge, it will not support native Blackberry service. You may use it for voice, SMS text and Internet data (through your web browser and apps) but it will not deliver Blackberry email.

no, I bought one and I don't get the 4G data that that i pay for with my t-mobile plan. I spent about 2 hours with t-mobile to get it working and still nothing. I tried contacting the seller and I got no response.

Yes. The RM-900 model (this one) is an 850/1900 MHz model that supports T-Mobile's 2g network.

No, because you need a chip from t-mobile, and the phone doesn't have the port for the chip. As least I am pretty sure it doesn't. I don't really use the phone anymore since I have a windows 8 phone. I will check, but I am 99.9% sure it doesn't have the port for it.
