It seems your iPhone was hacked to allow usage of sim cards from other providers. iOS updates will remove these hacks and cause the iPhone to only accept sim cards form the provider it was originally locked to.


Only the carrier it is locked to can officially unlock it. Anything else is a hack and will be undone by iOS updates. You will need to contact the operator as the message suggests and request they unlock it.
