Hello Momarod-4418,
It sounds like you need to activate your iPhone 8.
Depending on what exactly it is you see on your iPhone, here are some resources that might help:
- If you are activating your iPhone during setup and getting an alert saying the activation server is unavailable or the SIM card is unsupported, see If you can't activate your iPhone.
- If this has to do with your carrier so you can use a different SIM in your iPhone, check out How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier.
- If you are seeing Activation Lock requesting your Apple ID and password as seen here Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. If so, check out the following:
Hope this information helps.
Have a good day.
