That message is pretty self explanatory, your phone is locked to a specific carrier. If you want to use a different carrier, then you need to contact the carrier the phone is locked to and ask them to unlock it.
No one here or at Apple can unlock the phone.
If you don’t know who the carrier is, you will never get it unlocked. Who are you paying for your phone use? Go to settings - general - about - and see what it says for carrier. What do you mean that you are not in the same area? Is this a second hand phone for you?
The only way to use this phone is to get a sim card from the carrier or have the carrier unlock it. If this phone was used in the US, then it may be locked to a US carrier. Look in settings to see if you can see if there is a carrier listed.
