Are all SIM cards created equal? [View all]

I recently bought a cell phone (LG) online that is on the AT&T network. After I had finished charging the phone, I turned it on and received the following message:

SIM not provisioned MM #2

I contacted the company from which I ordered the phone and was told they sell only phones and that I would have to contact AT&T about getting a SIM card and getting the card activated. I don't want to make a mistake with this, so my question is, are all SIM cards created equal or would I have to get a specific type of SIM card? Thanks for any advice!
