It will be locked for 60 days according to Verizon’s policy BUT I think this only will apply if you used Verizon installment plan to purchase versus using Apple or your Apple Card. Verizon’s policy says it will do it for all devices (including fully paid for upfront) if purchased from them or one of their retailers. I don’t do Verizon installments anymore so mine (including my iPhone 14 Pro Max) are not locked but my son 13 was initially locked for 60 days because we accepted a Verizon trade in offer when purchasing his through Apple (not installments but treated as such since he was getting the phone free with the credit spread out for 24 months when that was still an option). So it’s safe to go in expecting it to be locked if you used Verizon’s installment plan to purchase. You should have opted to get it choosing the carrier later as when it comes it will automatically activate to the Verizon network since that’s what you chose. You may luck up and it isn’t locked to Verizon but it will connect to Verizon (or try to) since that’s who the eSIM was designated for when the order was placed.

If you purchased it via monthly payments with Verizon it will be locked to Verizon. If you paid full price it will not be.
