Best Answer

Yes all giffgaff SIM's are dual SIM's .... both a
normal sized one with a hybrid micro-SIM pop out
in the middle.

Does the s3 mini take a normal SIM? If so, there's
your answer. Just order a new SIM from your own
link then do a SIM Swap.
See here for how SIM Swap works

Or buy an adaptor from a local mobile repair shop
for 50p and place your micro-SIM in it and use
that....

Phone is new bought off eBay! Supposed to be unlocked no visible signs that its locked,
I'm a bit of a technophobe but can follow instruction.
