Activate Iphone 5s without original carriers SIM card - GSM-Forum

Hello everybody!

I bought a second hand iphone 5s (A1457) in Brazil and used it for a week, then traveled for around 45 days and left it home, and when i got back
it was asking to activate and only letting me use the original carriers SIM card to do so. (which i have no idea, maybe its not even a Brazilian carrier?)
Anyone have any idea why its asking to activate again? IOS autoupdate or Findmyphone activated? I dont know im new to this.

What is the best way to activate this phone?

IMEI# = 358686054168996

Ive read about Hacktivating, but couldnt find any guides/videos that would actually work.

Appreciate the help! Thanks in advance!
