i bought one of these in the past and the device was not unlocked. It was a lot of back and forth to get it unlocked. The unlock was over-the-air just like iPhones and carrier branded Samsung phones are not unlocked by default.

This is not a carrier branded phone, the phone is factory unlocked and will remain so. The carrier branded ones will say ATT or verizon in the listing page. In this case, you just need to cancel the account with Verizon, nothing else
