SIM Locked

i’ve just bought this phone off of a friend, and he factory reset the phone. so when i tried to transfer my current phone (iphone se 2020) to my new phone (iphone 13 pro), it didn’t sign into my number. i use straight talk wireless and had a physical SIM card for my iphone se, but my friend used an esim of a carrier i don’t know. i can’t find the carrier in settings, and there’s no option to put in a code or anything to unlock it. i’ve attached a screenshot of what it shows me. please help i tried everything i can.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

That means the phone can only be used with your friend’s carrier. As he is your friend ask him to contact his carrier and request that they remove the SIM lock. All US carriers will remove SIM lock if the phone is paid off.
