iPhone 5c can't activate

Hi!


I Currently own an iPhone 5c. I use it as an iPod because the SIM card reader (whatever the name is) is broken. My iPhone lagged a lot so I restored it to give it a new start. But when I tried to activate my phone, I couldn't because I needed a SIM Card to activate it. I have a SIM card, but the reader is broken. How do I activate it? Thanks!

iPhone 5c, iOS 8.3, null
