Update Samsung Rugby flip phone for LTE capability

[JOHN_GALLAGHER]

I have a Samsung Rugby 4G flip phone.

I'm wondering if it can be upgraded to support LTE on 4G.

Can it be done with a software upgrade, or do I need to junk

the phone and get a new one ?

Thanks for any information.

Hello, @JOHN_GALLAGHER.

We appreciate you being our Community member and thank you for your post.

We respect your interest in upgrading your device to support LTE on 4G. However, the Samsung Rugby 4G flip phone cannot be upgraded to support LTE through a software update. The phone's hardware determines LTE compatibility, and the Rugby 4G lacks the necessary components to support LTE networks.

You need to consider upgrading to a newer device that supports LTE and makes phone calls over LTE, known as Voice over LTE (VoLTE). We understand this may not be very pleasant, but we're happy to help you explore other options if you want to find a compatible phone.

Cheers,
RogersMoin
