I dropped my new iPhone into the Puget Sound, so I'm trying to use my old iPhone for now. I have a new SIM card installed, but I seem to be stuck in an iCloud loop.
In order to do pretty much anything on my phone, I have to be signed into iCloud. When I try to sign in, I get this error: Verification Failed: There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server.
According to this post, the solution seems to be to sign out and sign back in again. However, I can't sign out without turning off "Find My iPhone", which asks for a password and gives me an error.
I also tried resetting my phone, both through the settings menu and through iTunes, but I have the same issue.

I figured it out! The network settings needed to be reset, which I did by going to
Settings > General > Reset
and clicking onReset Network Settings
.
