"SIM Required. Please insert a SIM card"

I just replaced my cracked iphone with apple care. I get home and try to update my new phone and before I turn it on it says, "SIM Required. Please insert a SIM card". Do I need to go back into the store?

iPhone 6s

You cannot activate an iPhone without a sim. The sim does not have to be

associated with an active cellular account; however, if the iPhone is locked to a

particular wireless provider, the sim must be from that wireless provider.


Is there a sim in the iPhone? How do you get an error message before you

turn on the iPhone?
