I have the same question. Did you buy this as a used iPhone? If you did, get your money back. You can't use it. You bought a lost or stolen iPhone, which is blacklisted and only the rightful owner who reported the phone lost or stolen can regain access to the phone.

Is this a phone you bought second hand off someone?
