I just talked to a Sprint customer service rep and asked him about the 800MHz rollout in Dallas. Here is what he told me: Network Vision in Dallas area: 1. 3G upgrades are ~75% complete. 2. 4G LTE rollout is ~80% complete. 3. 800MHz rollout is about 20%

Thanks - I have really enjoyed the S4GRU site and all of the technical info available here. S4GRU was one of the reasons that I decided to go with the Nexus 5. Btw, there are several other factors to the $72 story than I posted, but my main point was to try to help others get sim cards. To be fair, Sprint did not charge me for the sim cards or for shipping, so kudos to Sprint for that.

On Sunday I was able to order 2 sim cards from the Sprint International support group. They shipped them on Monday and I had them 3 days later, the same day my 2 32GB Nexus 5's arrived. The sim cards were free with free ground shipping. Overnight was available for~ $15. They were shipped from Lexington, KY. Just go to the website below and get a chat window. Now I am fighting Sprint wanting a $36 activation fee for each phone. Has anyone managed to get this fee waived? I have been with Sprint for 13+ years and have been seriously considering switching carriers. I can't believe that they would risk losing a long-time loyal customer over $72.
