It does, but that doesn't help you because AT&T operates on 850MHz.

That is because your phone does find a 1900MHz signal (probably
T-Mobile) but your AT&T SIM-Card does not allow you to roam in that network.

You could try and find out what operator has 1900MHz coverage in your
area and change to their service, however that will not give you
coverage in areas where your new operator has roaming agreements only
with 850 operators.
The J700 is a non-NA-triband device with 900/1800/1900MHz, it would give
you good coverage in most parts of the world (wehre 900 and 1800 are
used) but not in North America where it is 850/1900.
If I were you, I'd put it back to where it came from (Ebay) and find a
quadband or US triband (850/900/1900) device.
