Unable to activate Verizon eSIM on my iPhone

Hello,

I have recieved an iPhone 15 for Christmas. I was under the assumption I would be able to connect a physical SIM card, however that assumption was proved false by later research.

I've tried adding my eSIM twice and turning on the line, but I'm still completely unable to and my phone now relies on WiFi. It just says to contact Verizon for further assistance but they're closed for a couple days and I wanted to see if anyone had an answer here. I didn't clear my other phone nor did I remove the SIM card, but I don't know if that changes anything.

Thanks,

Brando
