Sounds like your iPhone is Carrier Locked. Return it to the seller and get your money back if they didn't tell you that. Otherwise contact AppleCare give them the Model and Serial numbers and tell them you just want to know which carrier it is locked with. Then contact that carrier and see if you qualify to have it unlocked.
