sim not supported

I lost my phone and was given a lender from my friend, I have an old sim card I used to use on my old phone and I tried using it for this one but it is saying that my sim card is not supported with the activation policy.

That means the phone is locked to a different carrier. You will need to find out who that carrier is , then contact them and ask them to unlock the phone.
