Thank you for that information. When you activated your iPhone 5C, what did you do with your old device? If you had your old device still turned on while activating, this can cause the confusion. Simply turn off both devices. Turn on the iPhone 5C and complete a factory reset. Once the device is back up and running you will be good to go.
