Extended Range LTE (band 12) & T-Mobile

I'm having a hard time finding an answer elsewhere so I wanted to throw this out there.

Moved to a new office (Bldg is less than 10 yrs old) and I no longer have stable voice/data reception. I'm a T-Mobile subscriber and they've activated Band 12 (700mhz) in my area calling it "Extended Range LTE". My current phone does not support Band 12 so I'm looking at new phones which do (HTC 10 and G7).

I've noticed that T-Mobile doesn't list all band 12 phones on their compatibility list. (Ex HTC 10 or A9) so I suspect this list is simply tailored to the items that they want to sell.

Q: Can T-Mobile decide which phones operate on Band 12 or is that a device manufacturer setting?

Q: Would buying an unlocked phone have any impact on whether or not it was receiving Band 12 on a carrier's network?

TIA

Update: HTC, after multiple attempts, provided an answer.
