AT&T is a GSM network. Sprint is a CDMA network. You have to have a GSM device. If you have this iPhone 5 model then that may be possible. But you must ask Sprint if they can unlock the phone from their network.

I will save you the trouble of contacting Sprint. They will unlock your iPhone 5 but not for use with with domestic carriers which makes the answer still no.
Can I unlock the phone myself?
No, only the carrier it is locked with can intitiate an official unlocking of the iPhone.
You would be better off selling your Sprint iPhone to someone who uses Sprint, unlocking it first for international use and advertising this fact, then buy a phone to work with AT&T.
