Prepaid phone on postpaid account

I purchased an ATT prepaid phone at Target. I want to use sim card on existing postpaid account. Can I?

Sure, you can use any compatible phone. Just realize that usage on postpaid will not count toward getting the phone unlocked. A prepaid phone requires 6 months of usage on prepaid service to be unlocked.
