Unable to activate iphone 5s

I was just checking a message from gcash when it suddenly shutdown. After that I wasn’t able to activate it. The screen is displaying, “Your iphone cannot be deactivated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate it.” I already followed the steps posted here but it didn’t work. Its been like this for weeks.

iPhone 5s, iOS 12
