If you don't know. Please. Go to your nearest cell phone carriers store and cancel your contract.

Sim Card:

A small, stamp-size "smart card" used in a GSM phone.

The SIM card contains a microchip that stores data that identifies the user to the carrier. The data is also used to encrypt voice and data transmissions, making it nearly impossible to listen in on calls.

The SIM can also store phone book information - phone numbers and associated names.

The SIM, typically located under the battery, can easily be removed and placed in another phone. This will cause the new phone to instantly operate using the subscriber's existing phone number and account.

CDMA, TDMA, and AMPS (analog) phones generally do not use SIM cards. The i...

I could've sworn koziekat works for AT&T, how the heck can you work for the biggest wireless carrier in the U.S., and NOT know what a SIM card is, that's beyond my comprehsion.

Hopefully it's all just some sort of misunerstanding.

make sure it's a GSM phone. but I just tried to use a T-Mobile sim on my Cingular unlocked phone, and internet doesn't work. Probably because the phone is connected to used a cingular WAP proxy address. So if you buy a unlocked GSM phone, it depends on what carrier the phone was associated with in order to get internet and games. Text messaging should still work, and calls. That's about it.

Call AT&T tech support and they can send it an update to get those features working. Usually the only think unlockeds have trouble with is Medianet which is ATT specific. General internet should work, and thus MMS should work too.
