Hi lilaya193,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


This article from Apple Support "Set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch"

Says:

Step 3

Activate your device

You need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, a cellular network or iTunes to activate and continue setting up your device. 

Tap the Wi-Fi network that you want to use or select a different option. If you're setting up an iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular), you may need to insert your iPhone SIM card or iPad SIM card first.

Get help if you can't connect to Wi-Fi or if you can't activate your iPhone.
