AT&T insurance on third-party sold devices?

Hi, I have a question regarding AT&T insurance:

If I purchase a AT&T-branded (and currently sold device) from a third party, such as eBay, Craigslist, etc, and it is normally covered by AT&T insurance, will the device be automatically covered?

For example, say I pay the $5/mo insurance cost currently. If I purchase a AT&T phone from eBay, and place my SIM in it (thus making it appear on my AT&T wireless account), will the phone be insured if damaged, stolen, etc?

And if not, is there a way to make it insured?

Thanks.

    The insurance you have is on the phone you have. It does not follow the sim card. You may be able to purchase insurance from a third-party for a used phone. AT&T won't insure it.
