How To Add All GSM and LTE Bands on Galaxy S5

In this article we are going to show you how to add all GSM and LTE frequency bands on your Samsung Galaxy S5. If you are a person who travels a lot and goes to different countries very often, you know the struggle of having to carry more than one phone.

Because of frequency bands, smartphones do not work on all countries. For example, if you have bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 which works on Europe, it might not work on Australia or other continents because the phone does not support those frequencies.

Manufacturers do this to have high earnings because they release the exact same phone on different countries. They are exactly the same, the same processor, screen, battery and the only difference is the supported bands.

The good thing is that this is a software and not hardware limitation on the Samsung Galaxy S5. Manufacturers enable only frequency bands for the country where they are selling the device. So if someone wants to go to another country, they have to buy another phone.

  1. I bought an iPhone 5S in Chile, model A1457 knowking that it doesn’t have the LTE bands that are needed in Argentina. It was the only model available.

    Is there any way to add the band/s that are missing in order to use LTE?

    Via software or a carrier update hack?

    Thanks.
