we have discovered from radio waves to gamma rays but there may possibilities of existence of other electromagnetic waves beyond this range which we haven't discovered it, may be the reason that our current technology not have that "EYE" to see those waves. Is there any possibility of such waves having more frequency than gamma rays and wavelength than radio waves.

Of course. Those are only definitions for certain intervals of frequencies that are particularly useful for something. There is nothing, at least classically, that prevents eletromagnetic waves from having an arbitrary frequency (exept technical limitations).
PS: I think that historically X-rays and gamma rays were distinguished based on their source.
