Bought unlocked phone but sim not valid

I was in US on vaccation and i have bougth three Iphone X pro for my family. I bought it from one of the Best buys in Boston. I have intentionally asked the sales agent the i want UNLOCKED phones. When i get back to my country and try to use it, it keeps saying "Sim not valid" with long message. All of them have the same issue.

wha was i supposed to do?

Best Buy does not sell unlocked phones. They lock to the first SIM card installed to activate them. You will need to contact the carrier they are locked to and find out if you can get them unlocked.
