AT&T and most other cellular operators in North and South America use
3G frequencies the N900 does not support, and many do not use GSM at
all.

Of the 5 major cellular operators in the USA (AT&T Mobility, Verizon,
Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular) the N900 only works fully with 3G on
T-Mobile, only 2G with AT&T Mobility, and does not work at all with
Verizon, Sprint or U.S. Cellular as they do not use GSM.
