"If your iPhone can't be activated or an alert says the activation server is unavailable [or cannot be reached] or the SIM card is unsupported," read this support article to learn what to do. "If you can't activate your iPhone [or iPad]" - click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT201407

- Note the special link at the end of the document for contacting Apple if there are still problems.

About connecting, see if this document helps:
