How to find network provider on IPhone 5?
I have recently been given an iPhone 5 from a friend. She acquired the phone as broken from an ex-partner and was planning on fixing it and selling it on but never did. When she discovered I was in need of a new phone she gave it to me. I got the screen replaced as it was hanging off. I have done a factory reset on the phone and to set it up it is asking for me to insert a sim. I have tried inserting a sim but it says
"the SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is form a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier"
How do I find out what network the phone is locked to? I have never had an iphone before so I don't really know what I'm doing to be honest. I just assumed it was unlocked. I can't seem to get past the set up stage without putting a sim in.
I suggest you go to a local Apple store then have them help you.

IMEI should be on the back of the iPhone itself or the box
- Wi-Fi on iPhone keeps saying unable to join network (my network name)? How can I fix this! It's been like this for a week but it works on my laptop fine. I tried unplugging it for a few seconds, I tried resetting network settings, I tried turning my phone off then on again, and I know I'm typing it right. I even typed it in upper case AND lower case. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
- What's the difference between off-network and on-network? I'm try to work out which is best for what I want out of the service. I want protection while on my iPhone 5 (both when connected via Wi-Fi and when roaming on 3/4G). Website with product details: http://www.umbrella.com/products/umbrella-security-features/
