How to Delete Data on iPhone Permanently

Question:" I got a new iPhone and transferred all of my data from my old iPhone via iTunes. I also connected my new phone to my provider. My new phone works great so now I want to sell my old iPhone. I know how to erase the content through the settings, but now I can't sign into my iCloud to delete everything since my phone has no service. My Wi-Fi is also broken on the old phone (hence the new phone) so it wont let me delete everything.  Does anyone know a way to delete all of the data without having service or Wi-FI?"
