All iphones when restored need to be activated. They are activated by connecting to itunes with a SIM card from the original carrier that the phone is locked to inserted. In your case probably ATT. The SIM does not have to be active. After activation if you want to use a different SIM card you have to unlock.

Or you can use redsn0w to jailbreak & hactivate it which by pass this activation.
