These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues

Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:

Restart the iPhone.

Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.

Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.

Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.

Restore the iPhone.

If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
