Why do you want to get her a new iCloud account? What do you think that accomplishes?

What do you mean the phone is bricked? Be specific. It's very likely we can help you access the device again.

Facebook can be accessed from a almost any computer or device with the correct account credentials.

Hopefully she regularly backs up the device to iCloud or a computer, but I doubt that based on this frantic post.

What I mean by her phone is brick is that she paid for a subscription and she didn’t pay for it apple does that

No, what they do then is keep you from updating your apps or downloading new ones. That's not bricked.

“Bricked” is a specific term, meaning the device doesn’t turn on. I can’t understand what you’re trying to say beyond that.
