You can try this but there's no guarantiee it will work.
Probably depends on if it's locked from factory or locked by software.
Just go to a phone unlocking store and pay 20 euro to get it unlocked. I got the official Samsung unlock code for my mini today..delighted I am. A Phone unlocking store will have access to Samsung servers to sort you out.

Which site? please
unlocking
I paid 8 pounds on ebay 3 hours later had my unlock code
There is plenty ok UK sites that will sell you the unlock codes for any country s3 mini. Just yahoo it and find out. £15 or £20 is all it costs. I paid €20 from an irish site which had the same database as the UK ones.

flashing firmwares won't get your device unlocked cause simlock is stored on other partition,as i know we can't unlock this device for free
Best unlock provider 18190N

Thanks for posting this.
I had a hard time getting this Vodafone.ie phone unlocked until I tried your suggestion. Movical provided me with a code in less than ten minutes for 12e.
The actual address is movical.net
:good: Had mine unlocked to using this thread. Thanks guys! :highfive:

I want to order a SGS and I have two choices:
1. Buy a unlocked, unbranded one for 469 EUR or,
2. Buy one without subscription but blocked for 6 or 12 months to the actual operator for 429 EUR. The telecom is Bouygues Telecom from France.
If i choose to get the second one i will have to unlock it, since im not going to use it in France, can it be done (easily)?
Also if i choose to get the second offer would i be able to install official I9000 firmwares released from Samsung, XEU version (like JP6 Froyo released lately), or do i have to wait for the telecom to release their own?
Thanks.
Anyone? I really need some advice fast cause I need to order it soon.
Thanks.
Bump!
I don't really like to do this, but 3 days 0 answers :O.
It's not difficult to unlock. If you read a bit through the forum you can do it very easy . And about the update, u can do any update you want through kies simply by changing the registry and fooling it that you have a phone from england or US or whatever . Hope this helps. Good luck

I would buy it unlocked. When you have already pay 400 EUR a difference in 40 EUR is not a big deal. There is less problems too when you buy it unlocked and you will not have to unlock it yourself, and you might damage it if you don't unlock it right.

I read the important threads even though I didn't do anything wrong to my device
Thanks for your replies.
Surely i read threads regarding unlocking, just wanted to be sure. I'm more worried about the branding and updates though.
I just ordered my unbranded/unlocked Galaxy S , a bit pricier around 500 EUR but that's the medium price for the device in market right now .

Hello everybody,
I bought a Galaxy S3 mini (i8190N) branded Three UK a month ago.
I search a lot on internet a way to unlock this phone in any way but I didn't found anything that works.
The last opportunity is buy an unlock code base on IMEI... (but I don't like it )
Can someone give me some ideas before this last method?
Thank you a lot
Bye :fingers-crossed:
I'm interested in this too. Is there a way to unlock it?
well....i can tell you that there is nothing

Hi guys!
I bought a new S3 Mini two days ago from an online company as a Pay as you go phone it came with a Vodaphone top up sim and i have no use for the sim as ive got a contract/pay monthly sim already i just needed a new phone, Anyways ive received it and its locked to Vodaphone WTH?? its a PAYG phone why have they locked it? Anyways as its the new type S3 mini "GT-i8200N" (Faster CPU) ive been looking for a way to sim unlock it without using these dodgy online companies as my brother paid for some company online to unlock his phone and they started buying items all over the world with his Card details so for this reason i wont use any sites online! so i wondered if there is a way around this and does anyone know how please?
Many thanks
Hello Guys,
I bought a pixel 5 from the Ebay . It's my mistaken to choose "locked phone" (T-mobile carrier).
When it arrived to Thailand, I cannot use it.
Is there anyway to unlock it ?
Thank you so much.

Ebay doesn't let you refund by any chance?
I have no luck. It does not change.

You can try to get in touch with T-Mo support on Twitter to unlock it. Here's a thread about it. Seems they are actually quite helpful.

There are also some services online that will help you unlock your phone. You'll have to pay for it, but I'm not sure of the cost since I've never had to do it. Here's a link to one service, but you can probably go online and find others.
