Problem with iPhone activation

I can't activate my iPhone XS.


I wanted to reset it to factory settings and leave it as a second phone for example to use maps, but after the reset I can't activate it. I tried to do it using MAC but it didn't help.


I think it may be due to earlier problems with reading the SIM card (that's why I switched to a newer model). Can I do something about it?

iPhone 7, iOS 15
