B2 (1900 PCS) LTE
B4 (1700/2100 AWS 1) LTE
B17 (700 bc) LTE
B30 (2300 WCS) LTE
Does the pine phone need to support all of these to work with the provider, or just one? If it just needs some overlap it seems like it would work with that provider, correct?
This website is useful but was updated last in October before the Spring/T-Mobile merger.

It seems as though carriers have a main 4G band that phones must support in order to be able to use their services. Supporting more bands than this just ensures better connectivity.
To stick with my Verizon example since they have the largest 4G network -- their main band is 13. They also have 2 and 4. You would need band 13 to operate on their network. Bands 2 ad 4 would only augment your coverage and perhaps provide faster speeds in certain scenarios.
