Erasing it does not disable activation lock, which was enabled as soon as you turned on find my iPhone originally. You will need to login to your iCloud account at www.icloud.com and remove that phone from the find my iPhone app there to disable activation lock. See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201441
