I’m not sure what you mean. The IMEI is the hardware serial number of the iPhone. The SIM card links your iPhone to your carrier, and retrieves your phone number.

What is the message you are seeing?

You have it backwards. Your cellular carrier is not allowing your phone. It may have been blacklisted.

Contact your carrier for assistance.

What happens when you try, screenshot would help.

It sounds like you have a phone locked to a different carrier than your SIM is provisioned for.
