Want to use old iPhone as an iPod Touch

I recently switched to an iPhone 8 from my old iPhone 5s because my SIM card was messed up and wouldn't let me make calls or send texts. I can still use it on Wifi to surf the web and play games basically like an iPod Touch. Everything works fine, but every 5-10 minutes I get this pop up message telling me my iPhone isn't activated. It's not a huge problem but it is very annoying and I cannot figure out how to disable it or if I can. If anyone knows how to tackle this please let me know. Thanks!

To use that phone as an iPod Touch, it will need to be briefly activated. You can take the sim out of your iPhone 8 and put it in your old phone, activate it, then take the sim out and back into your 8.

That’s because it’s still listed on your account with your carrier. Either call them to remove it or use your account web login with them to remove it yourself.
