This is not an iOS update.

Go through the various suggestions in the support article below

Should fix it but they don't help, and your network carrier can't help, then  contact Apple Support for further investigation.

It says it needs a carrier update. If repeatedly "hot" SIM removal and re-insertion does not stimulate a carrier update then talk to your carrier, especially if the phone is locked to them.

(If not carrier locked then borrow a different carrier SIM from a friend.)

If they can't help then reach out to Apple Support directly. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here: contact Apple Support 

or visit an Apple store.

I tried my SIM card in the phone again but still unreadable, leading me to the conclusion it’s definitely a problem with the phone. I cannot access settings etc because I am still setting it up, however it gives me this message. Shutting it down does nothing at all but give me he same result. Any suggestions ?
