Most of the Samsung S5's sold in South Africa are the non-LTE versions (SM-G900H) Were you promised an LTE version?

 

[Sir Bob]

No they didn't promise a LTE model. They didnt say anything about there being different models. That is part of the problem I assumed since its a new phone it's will have LTE. (I have now learnt never assume anything)

You know what they about assumptions.

Really? In 2014? That sucks.

Yeah, OP, you should definitely check what you're buying.

What network on Nashua Mobile? Vodacom is only selling the Samsung S5 LTE version.

Yes as far as I know only MTN and Vodacom do the Lte version, the other two networks don't.

All the quadcore S5's (Samsung SM-G900F,I,K,M,A,T,W8) have LTE, the Octa Core (SM-G900H) S5 doesnt.

OP was given the Octa Core model.

What false info is this? Most I highly doubt it. Vodacom and MTN ONLY sell the LTE version. Cellc and Telkom Mobile only sell the Non LTE version and providers like Nashua and Altech should sell both.

Hi Bob

Did you manage to get your phone replaced? I had the same issue with Nashua recently. Complete misrepresentation.
