If the phone is locked to AT&T, then you will not be able to use another SIM until AT&T unlocks it.


You should also check to make sure that the phone is not locked to another iCloud account via an Activation Lock:

If it is Activation Locked to another iCloud account, return the phone for a refund. If it is Activation Locked, you will never be able to use it unless you can contact the previous owner to turn off the Activation Lock:
