I think your phone is locked with a particular network. I suggest you can approach Classicunlocking.com and specify the country,locked network of iPhone 5C.Based on the availability you can get the permanent unlock service along with free instructions.

May be your phone carrier is different than your sim carrier
some network companies make a contract with a phone companys
for example: your SAMSUNG phone locked on MTN network and your sim from AT&T

No service
I assume you've swapped the SIM card over to the new phone (it's the SIM card that holds the number). If so, try powering the phone down, then back on again. Also, you will need to get the network settings from your operator to get data, MMS etc working properly.

do as it says you need a valid SIM to restore an iphone and it is possible to have a SIM go bad. There is nothing that can be done until your sim is infact working and valid and it MUST be an AT&T sim no other sim will work for restore.
