So when you click on Safari what happens?

What network are you on and do you have the "E" (Edge) logo displayed in the status bar?

Depending on the Network this is done automatically

Is your AT&T sim fully activated, not sure about the States but some countries you have to activate the "internet" part separate.

You probably have Blackberry Connect, which does not work on the iPhone.

Even if you were using ATT, if the sim comes from a Blackberry with internet (Blackberry connect) the Edge network is not activated, only Blackberry Connect, and the iPhone will not connect to the internet. It only works with Medianet or PDA connect.

Thats how it works on ATT, not sure about your network.
