What makes you think it won't activate?


Have a look at If you can't activate your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support

- Learn what to do if you get an error message that says "No SIM" or "Invalid SIM".

- Check the list on the System Status page. If the box by iOS Device Activation isn't green, try to activate your iPhone or iPad later.

- If asked to enter your password as you activate your iPhone or iPad, enter the password. (A password prompt means that Activation Lock might be enabled in Find My iPhone.)
