Does this model of galaxy s5 really support LTE? Because everywhere i read the octa core Version doesent support LTE....

No this phone does not support LTE, if you look at the Samsung spec sheet the H model only has 3G. The LTE (Market dependent) is a lie

The G900F model supports LTE, but only on certain bands. For example, the G900F model only supports ONE of the FOUR bands that AT&T currently (12/31/2014) uses in USA for its LTE service. And that one supported band is not the primary band that AT&T uses for LTE, either. I had to decide against this model when I saw the risk of not having LTE. The reasons for this band-locking likely have to do with a smoke and mirrors game cell companies are playing with allowing unlocked phones, but not truly supporting them. It is effectively region locking phones. To contrast, the OnePlus 1, for example, is set to accept three out of four LTE bands used by AT&T. I bet you never would have thought a non-cell-company phone (the OnePlus One) would actually beat out a known brand name (Samsung) when it comes to actually being supported by the phone service. International trade laws anyone? Caveat Emptor.

This model phone is LTE capable.As an unlocked phone it is capable of working with any GSM Carrier providing their services using a SIM Card.However, we can only guarantee basic call and text, we recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure they provide their services to this model phone without any restrictions.

Yes it runs great on at&t.; I'm using them. As for the LTE speed, it all depends on your location. In some areas you will be accessing the internet using LTE. In others, the phone will switch to either the 3G or HSPA networks. This is a really cool phone. I'm enjoying it way more than the iphone I replaced with this one.

According to Wilson LTE works on all carrier with this. I know for a fact the 3G works though because I've had someone at my house with AT&T; and they had perfect 3G signal. I currently have Sprint as well and the LTE works flawlessly with it.

No, you can't. Both my sister and I have MetroPCS, but she bought this phone and I bought mine on EBay. Her phone only gets up to 3G HSDPA+. You have to get that Samsung Galaxy S4-M919. That's the one I got and I do have 4G LTE.

This unit comes with different models with slight variations in LTE frequencies. If you are with T mobile the earlier spectrum they used are the 1700/2100 mhz and of late they are adopting 1900mhz. Make sure all these three frequencies are included so you will be able to enjoy LTE speed of T mobile in your area. Again it presupposes that your area has LTE supported cell towers from Tmobile.

you are NOT gonna get 4G LTE with this phone in the US at all! not with verizon or with any other company. dont make the mistake i did.

Not the current version, the LTE version are getting approval from FCC and should be available thru verizon or ATT. Launch date ? Late march maybe, anticipate cost be much higher.

Yes, this model C6506 works with LTE in the US, the other models(C6503/C6502) do not.

I have just spent time with Tmobile trying to get the 1520 set up on Tmobile's system in Michigan. They could not get to work on LTE. They could get it to work on 3G. But I have noticed that in operation it frequently has problems staying that mode. It seems to be missing the jokey band necessary for LTE. Disappointing to be sure but still a great phone/tablet.

The US version supports T-Mobile 1700/2100 Mhz AWS frequencies, which have been used in the past for T-Mobile all across the US. Currently, T-Mobile is shifting much of the 3G HSPA traffic to 1900 Mhz, which was previously used for 2G. This shift frees up the 1700/2100 bands for 4G LTE use. Google "t mobile frequency refarming" to find details. To get the best T-Mobile coverage across the USA, buy the US version of the phone. If you will use the phone in mostly a major metropolitan area with refarmed frequencies (like the SF Bay area), the Global GSM version works just fine and does get high speed 3G (HSPDA+) on T-Mobile, AND has better compatibility in places like Europe. If you never expect to use the phone outside the USA, get the US GSM version. I bought a Global GSM Moto G for a friend recently, and it works great in the SF Bay Area, and it worked great on a trip to Europe she took.The US GSM version does not support the 900 Mhz HSDPA band, which is widely used outside the USA. Amazon's comment about the Global GSM phone supporting T-Mobile on 2G only is not really accurate, although would apply if you did not live in an area with refarmed frequencies.

I'm sorry but I can not help you, what happens is that I cheated, I bought a cellular phone samsung galaxy s4 i9500 octa core, but I sent a clone a fake, and the worst is that three times I tried to buy one and three times sent me clone. I'm resigned to not buy another from Amazon, I have cuidadado so you do not pass the same.

the LTE model does Only the other models do not. Currently i think it only works (In the US at least) with Att or T-mobile of which you can contact for a card to use it with :-).

Who is your major Cell phone provider in your area? Where I live Verizon has the best coverage and then AT&T is second. But this phone is a CDMA phone and only uses the Verizon network. Do some research before you jump into this device. I'm hearing that Verizon is trying to phase out the CDMA technology in favor of LTE. Just do a google search of "CDMA Verizon" for further details.

I'm using this phone with Straight Talk (on AT&T network) and the phone functions, but I'm not getting an LTE connection (only HSPA). Working to resolve the issue.

Hi no it supports Global, LTE/CDMA and GSM/UMTS. Under settings to go More...(below Data usage) tap on Network Mode and chose the mode in the Preferred network mode display. Thank you Sam samddsmotorsports@gmail.com
