If you purchased a “4G Phone-in-a-Box” from an authorized Verizon retailer, check the back of the box to find out if there’s a different unlock period. If you bought your phone before July 2019, it may still be unlocked. If it isn’t, you’ll just need to contact Verizon and ask them to unlock it for you. If you have an older 3G World or Global Ready phone from Verizon, see this method.

Before signing up for another provider, check their website for a “Bring Your Own Device” page (or something similar) so you can make sure your Verizon phone is supported by their network.
