Unable to activate

I have been trying to activate my iphone8 but constant getting the same message - "Unable to activate".


I tried in restore mode and DFU mode to restore my iphone connecting to iTunes on windows but did not work.


I have read through the support community and the recommendation was the DFU mode but it did not help me.


Appreciate your help and comments if anyone has faced this problem and solved it in a different way? This is an unlocked phone bought on ATT network but is current being used with a different carrier. Phone has been working for almost 2 years and now has suddenly stopped working from last week.
