Originally did it ask for a subsidy password or security code?
If it's the subsidy password leave the sim in for 30 min and the subsidy should come back up.
If it's the security code, it may ask for a puk code, if you got past that and can't enter any codes you'll need a new sim.

It is asking for a subsidy code? What is a subsidy code for a cingular phone?

Subsidy codes are specifc to each phone
hold the pound and star keys while powering up, and let us know what it displays, as you might be able to unlock it yourself.

Follow the unlock the V3 guide in the tutorial section - the phone is locked to Cingular and you need it unlocked to use an AT&T sim.
It might be worth trying Cingular first - sometimes they will give you the code

If you enter a sim unlock code incorrectly to many times you will PUK lock the phone. If you continue entering incorrect codes after the device is "PUKed" you will permanently disable the phone and there isn't anything your provider or the manufacturer can do to fix it.
