It could be for any of the reasons the others gave. If it worked in another phone in the same location, one where there was a strong cellular signal, one of the most likely possibilities might be that your iPhone is carrier-locked.
If your phone is carrier-locked, only the carrier who holds the lock can release it – if they choose to do so. They might only be inclined to do so if you are their customer and if any contract associated with the phone has been fully paid off.

Try a different SIM card. If that does not work there could be a hardware problem with your phone. Take it in to an Apple Store or authorized service provider for diagnosis .
Please define "doesn't work".
