Ok 1U means the devices isn't factory unlocked its a carrier model that the reseller on Amazon listed as Unlocked which isn't the case Unlocked Models are U1 so your S23 model is SM-S911U a true Factory unlocked would be SM-S911U1.  I would suggest returning the device if its still within the return window.

You could try to contact the carrier that its locked to and ask them if they will carrier unlock it to work on other carriers

I would suggest taking it to a metro store and see what they say if they cant resolve the issue I would take it to a certified repair center to have it checked.

Gotta be careful buying phones from Amazon, I have gotten those so called unlocked phones before
