    Usually when people have problems with unlocked devices it's because either the person who unlocked the device didn't change the settings afterwards, or because the user screwed up a setting.

    You shouldn't have any problems using an unlocked phone on AT&T, T-Mobile, or a handful of prepaid services requiring the use of SIM cards.

    Buying unlocked smart phone is not a problem but you would have to configure your unlocked smart phone for multimedia and wap so you could use it properly on att, and it depends on you what kind of phone you get.
