HERE IS THE fix^^^

You'll probably find its bought from the UK or anywhere else in Europe, flashed in Pakistan, then made available to sell....just flash UK firmware and it should be fine
anyone interested in blu-ray steelbooks, holla at your boy

You have bought a Vodaphone SGS3 .
Why you need to ask the seller .
As said looks like you have been sold an import .

My s3 is a Vodafone import. Use galaxsim unlock to check if it's not networked locked. But since you can use your aim straight out of the box you should be good. Then Just flash a rom as speedyjay suggested.

Have you checked to see if the phone is network locked? Download galaxsim from the market and check your status.

Use one of the many efs tools and back up your efs, just in case it messes up. Then flash theroom again, then wipe data.

Just saw your post about nv_data error. If the stock flash isn't working it may be time to visit the Samsung service centre.
Try downloading roms from other countries, if it doesn't work then the service centre is your only option.
