Activation of iPhone X

iPhone X was erased, and doesn’t contain anything from the previous owner. Now, when I try to activate it, it requests to insert a SIM card, I do and the phone says that the SIM isn’t valid.

Bought used iPhone SE 2020 2nd Gen. and it's activation locked I bought a iPhone SE 2020 2nd Gen. off of Facebook marketplace and the individual I bought it from apparently was not the original owner and sold me a phone that is activation locked. My service is through straight talk . Straight talk advised me to get a SIM card kit and use the Verizon SIM card . I have done that and when my Iphone asks to “Set up my new IPhone” I start the process manually and by transfer from my other active iPhone. I get a message that says iPhone is activation locked or it will say sim not supported. I’ve called the old service provider and they told me it’s locked . Since then I’ve put in a request to have it unlocked by apple but haven’t been told anything. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
