Question marked as Best answer

Do you have an active cellular service on your new iPhone? Can you make calls from your new iPhone? If NOT, then it does not have an active SIM card in it. If you can still send text messages and make calls from your old phone, then you can transfer that SIM card to your new iPhone. This will transfer the active service to your new iPhone. If none of the above works, then contact your cellular service provider.
