See the information in this support document. How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier - Apple Support

You will need to know who the carrier is. They are the only one that can remove the carrier lock.

If you bought this phone used from someone, then return it. You will not be able to get the carrier to unblock it and Apple is not involved in carrier blocking at all. That would be just one of the many problems if you purchased the phone used and hopefully you do have a chance to return it as most of the time the sellers just disappear and the platform that was used will rarely help either. Before even consider purchasing a used device, review this:

If you did not purchase this device used, then you would know who the carrier is and as long as you are the customer, there is hope they will remove it if all the obligations have been met to facilitate the unlock.
