Cloning is highly illegal...however...you can pay straight talk 15 bucks and activate their service easily through their website legally...and everything works...including data and mms

I blacked out the MEID, ICCID, and IMEI. So what must I do to make this receive mobile connection?

As long as you have a clean phone released by sprint, you can go through straight talk. There aren't many people at straight talk that know how to do it. I had to call them, and you need to make them understand that this is a byop Sprint Samsung galaxy s3 on sprint's 4g/LTE cdma network. I had to hang up and call back a few times to get someone who knew how to switch it over. I was already on straight talk with a droid x2 through the byop program, and they were eventually able to transfer my service to the s3 at no cost to me, and have my service end date transfer too. Persistence paid off, now I have a sweet s3 rocking 4g with unlimited (3gb/month) data for under $50/month.

Thanks! yes I called them the first time and they told me it wasn't possible. They said it wasn't compatible.

EDIT: Did they have to create a ticket for you and give you a network code?

I don't remember what number I called, but it wasn't anything special. I went to straight talk, logged into my account and looked up 'contact us'. I picked the number for cell phone support- I remember it ended with 'cell (2355)'. Told them what I had and that I wanted to port my number from the droid to the s3. When they told me I couldn't do it, I told them it was possible. When they argued with me I said fine, I'll call back and get someone that actually knows what's going on. If they pay any attention to the post call surveys, there are at least 5 people there that should be getting retrained or fired. I believe it took a total of eight calls to them to get the s3 on correctly. The last couple of calls required getting to the port escalation department, but I think that was more a fault of the previous provider on the s3 not properly releasing the phone after it was cancelled. Hope this helps.

They made me a ticket and said it could take 24/48 hours to process. Did they have to do that for you?

Yes. That was right before I found out the previous carrier had not released the phone properly. Getting that done quickly involved threatening the old carrier with the better business bureau.
