esim activation issue on iPhone 16 while Netweork Provider Lock is NO SIM Restrictions

I bought a new iPhone 16 and I myself and my local carrier service provider can’t activate the eSIM, they told me there are something Apple has to do for me to be able to have an eSIM activate even if I bought a NO SIM RESTRICTIONS device.

kindly help. Thanks

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 18
