What carrier is iPhone 56.0? Recently bought an iPhone 15 and when trying to connect it to the Verizon network they said it was still carrier locked.

In the "About" section in General, it says the Carrier Lock has "No SIM restrictions". However, when I tried to activate through Verizon they said the phone couldn't be added since the IMEI1 is locked to a carrier. When I look at the ESIM section, it says the carrier is iPhone 56.0. Underneath, there is a section for available SIM that lists the IMEI2. Any thoughts?

Update to my earlier post. I went to Verizon and selected active new device on existing line. Then I selected Activate a Sim. I entered the Imei2 number from my Iphone 15 which activated the eSim on the verizon network. I was able to activate the phone after that.. Hope this helps.
