Ok I've found out more information. Just in case anyone is wondering... Even though many pre-2011 phones will state in their specs that they support 800Mhz, they do not support Band Class 10 800Mhz. They only have the hardware to support Band Class 0 and this is only used when roaming.

I searched this thread and did a quick forum search and couldn't find an answer. Please provide a thread or post if I missed it. Can anyone confirm that BC10/800Mhz is only available via network PRL updates to 2011+ devices? This "Current Sprint PRLs" document seems to indicate that is the case. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AtNVEqz3vqzmdEdWMHg2S2lxcFVJb29BRnJHdlBzdFE&output=html And if this is the case (which I really don't understand), is it possible that I could access 800Mhz via manually updating my PRL on my Samsung Epic 4G (2010 phone) and maybe even my moms old LG Rumor Touch (not critical, but also 2010)? I'm a Ting customer but for some reason I am receiving a "Corporate Liable" PRL (61099) vs an MVNO PRL when I update over the network. I'm wondering if the reason is because prior to porting my number I was with an AT&T business account. I really really need to make an attempt at getting 800Mhz on my phone because I'm in a rural area and voice service is barely usable. LTE is deployed in my area. I really don't plan on updating my phone til VoLTE phones are available. And if anyone can suggest which PRL I should seek out (MVNO, CL, or IL) I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
