Is the date and time on this iPhone correct?
Is this iPhone 13 updated and running at least iOS 26, or iOS 27, or something older?

You may have bought your phone this month, but you should know iPhone 13 Pro was fully discontinued by Apple in September 2022, 4+ years ago. So you bought a used iPhone at best. And since we would have no clue what condition your used iPhone was in before you purchased it, if it were me, I'd return the phone for refund.
You can try what's detailed in this link --> If you can't activate your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support
But I wouldn't have purchased a 4+ year old iPhone in the first place and I'd return it for refund.

Server identity to what exactly, your email account?
