If you see “No SIM restrictions”, it means that your iPhone is unlocked.

⚠️ If the device is locked, it means that you can only use a SIM card/eSIM of the carrier from which you bought your device.⚠️

To unlock it, you just need to contact that carrier and request the device to be “unlocked”. After that, you will be able to install and use eSIM Plans.
