4. How is mobile phone cloning done?  Cloning involves modifying or replacing the EPROM in the phones with a new chip, which would allow you to configure ESN via software.  You also have to change its MIN(Mobile Identification Number).

5. How is mobile phone cloning done?  When you have successfully changed ESN/ MIN pair, your phone was an MIN pair, your phone was an effective clone of the other phone effective clone of the other phone
