As long as the phone has the 850/ 1900mhz bandwidths needed for use in North America and is unlocked to allow your sim card to operate then you will be able to use the phone for calls and text messaging.  Unfortunately AT&T won't be able to guarantee the data services on an unlocked phone and due to the fact that AT&T doesn't sell this phone or one similar they won't be able to walk you through the settings (you can contact Sony Ericsson for help with the settings but there is still no guarantee).
