Cannot activate e-sim. The device has been blocked before me

Original Title: My purchased Iphone 16 Pro Max is blocked by previous operator. Is it possible to fix this?
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
Where did you get the phone, exactly? Who was the previous carrier?
It sounds like it's carrier locked, which is not unusual.
Only the carrier it is locked to can unlock it for use on other carriers.
What is the exact message you're getting?
Hello!
Is your iPhone carrier locked? Is that what you’re saying?
If not, please provide more details on the situation along with screenshots if applicable. Make sure to black out personal info. Thanks!
