    Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts: this is tied to the hardware, not the user account, and there is no way round this.

     

    You will have to create an iCloud account on another iOS device or Mac, then you can sign into it on your iPhone.

    You can create an iCloud account on a Mac if you have one, or if you can gain temporary access to one (if the latter make sure you sign out completely from it when done). You can sign in using the phone, you just can't create an account.
