No need to go with the All Caps on the message. That is rude and considered yelling on the internet.


What happens when you insert the SIM into the phone and you attempt to activate it? Do you see something on the screen? If so, what is the exact text of that message?


Considering you are referring to an iPhone 5, it would be used. Where did you get this? I'm guessing that the device is carrier locked.
