What happens when you attempt to purchase an app? Are you logged into the App Store?
Sounds like iMessage is activated, and you are connected to wi-fi.
Check with your carrier to ensure your phone account has been provisioned correctly for the new phone and has service on it, as well as a texting plan. The fact that you cannot make calls, nor text, which is also a carrier function leads to me to believe you need to speak to the carrier to ensure the device is activated correctly and the account provisioned correctly.
