Can i activate the iPhone 4s (At&t) with the original sim card that isn't activated?

I just bought a iphone 4s from a friend but the problem is i can't get bypass the activation steps and it needs a sim card but I've heard yiu can borrow a friends sim card to get passed the activation but i would like to know if i buy a sim card from at&t, would it work even if i don't have a at&t account? Please no rude or disrespectful answers i would appreciate some help thank you

You have heard right… You can borrow a sim card to bypass the sim required error. Also, you can buy an at&t sim card (even if you don't have an account) for about $10-12 dollars…
