unlocking phone and software update not working.

I have bought an iPhone 11 overseas..and I am trying to set it up but it comes up to a software update page but it doesn't let me update it. also because I bought it overseas I need my phone service provider to unlock my phone? I'm so confused about that. How do i fix this.
