If you can't activate your iPhone - Apple Support
I got initial info from the link below from another post. I downloaded iCloud for Windows and opened it with my Apple ID. I then ran FIND My IPhone with my iPad on and connected to my PC. It brought up an Activation login on the iPad. I entered my ID and Password. It asked for my password a second time and my iPad came back to life!
(I originally tried Find My iPhone from my phone and i was still logged in, but I don't think that affected the outcome at all.)
Good luck. Let me know if it works.
Get more help
- To check for network or activation issues and see if you need to replace your SIM card, contact your carrier.
- Use recovery mode to restore your iPhone.
If restoring your iPhone still doesn't work, contact Apple Support.
Best regards.

Hi,
I have tried all those methods but none of them have worked, I had never backed up the iPad
