Your SIM card is locked to the Motorola phone. You can either wait another half of a month for the SIM to automatically unlock itself or you can call customer service to have them unlock it for you. 1-800-331-0500 or 611 "more options", "customer service" from your GoPhone.

Yes, that is correct. Most SIM cards are locked to the original phone of activation for a period of six months. After that, they "free" themselves and can be used in any AT&T or unlocked phone.

It would be much quicker to call customer service and have them unlock the phone for you if you want to use it right away.
