i am having issues with my iphone8.

i've been having problems with my iphone8 not having service. my service provider support told me i needed to get a new sim card, or that's what it sounded like. i went into the store and got a new sim card and then spoke to support again to transfer the simcard number to the new sim card. that didn't work, so i was told to FACTORY RESET my iphone8. i did that per the support lines advice. but now i can't get the phone to activate. it gives me an error code saying that activation lines are down and to try this again. is there anything i can do to get any sort of help?
