gsm is obsolete, having been replaced by hspa/umts, lte and soon 5g.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM>
  Subsequently, the 3GPP developed third-generation (3G) UMTS
  standards, followed by fourth-generation (4G) LTE Advanced 
  standards, which do not form part of the ETSI GSM standard.

most lte phones don't have all lte bands, so they'll work on one
carrier but not on another, even if they're unlocked.

the real problem is that if carriers don't support it, it won't sell in
large enough volume for the company to be profitable, and that's
ignoring the rest of its problems.
