What needs to be done in order to successfully convert a Sprint Samsung Galaxy s3 to Straight Talk? I've heard it's as simple as changing the prl and opening the sub lock and then I hear it neads to be completely flashed and a 4g sim has to be obtained from straight talk. Please help me.

This is strange.
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-i777 yesterday.
I was using an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-i959 T-Mobile Vibrant with my AT&T sim card.
Today I started my Mobile AP on my ROOTED Vibrant and Mobile AP WORKS great.
Then I took the AT&T sim card out and put in my new Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-i777 and..........
I got this following message:
Tethering/Mobile AP is unavailable
A Tethering/Mobile Hotspot plan is required to use this service. Please go to att.com/myWireless or dial 611 if you do not already have this service provisioned.
Why would this work on the Vibrant and not on the Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-i777???????????
Has anyone been able to get it to work without getting the plan with this phone?
Will it work after rooting the phone?
The mobile AP ability is controlled by the phone. It checks your att account to see if you have paid for this feature. If not you get that message. Running a custom ROM that check can be disabled and allow you to tether regardless.
If you want the feature back you need to flash a ROM that enabled it. To do that you must first root and install CWM. Check the dev section, there are plenty of guides.

It doesn't work on native AT&T phones because AT&T puts in measures to enforce tethering.
It can be worked around, do some research, because this is a (hint hint):

Hello, im new on this forum and i need help!
I just had someone flashing my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 to Page Plus. After flashing the phone it seems not to be working properly,
First: i can make and receive calls, 3g working but extremely slow. dialed *22890 to activate and *22891 to update Prl, both worked.
Second: I have the 3g icon and the telephone icon on top the screen but the telephone icon has a triangle icon on the middle which mean its roaming but its NOT!
Third: I cannot send picture messages or receive them!
Guy who flashed the phone said that the PRL wasnt compatible with my area and after making his payment he left me with the phone not working properly!
I live In Rockland, Massachusetts, 02370 and i believe im using the PRL Number 52874.
Can someone help me have this phone working 100%?
Or at least help me fixing the TRIANGLE ICON......
Thanks in advance for all of you who tried to help me,
Wrong forum for Sprint anything. This forum is for the i9100, which is a GSM phone that won't even run on Sprint's network.
You probably want the Epic 4g touch forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281

I need help. I just moved to the bum **** nowhere and my phone was the BYOP straight talk plan. My phone only goes off of AT&T towers and there are none in my area. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and would like to know if there was a way and how to flash my phone to Verizon towers so I don't have buy a whole new phone.
So I have a Samsung galaxy s4 with Verizon , I checked the IMEI number and it was clean, my question is will buying the straight talk kit be enough to activate it to straight talk ? Or does it involve flashing at all?
