If I was to get the Hauwei P9 Pro would I be able to use AT&T as my provider?

I just destroyed my phone completely. So I was walking down the stairs of my house mid conversation and I mistook a step and fucking face planted on the concrete, I checked myself and I saw I was fine. My Galaxy Note 5 on the other hand not so much, it's just a goner, screen cracked and all. So now I need to get a replacement phone, but I don't wanna run on down to AT&T and get gouged by another contract. I want the Hauwei P9 Pro but AT&T does not have that as an option. So would I be able to buy the phone and still have AT&T as a carrier?

 

Trying to get pictures of it with my tablet.

Since AT&T is a GSM based carrier and IF I'm reading this sheet correctly then yes:

You just need to get a SIM card from them, pop it in, and sign up for service.

If you don't want to go with a contract or anything like that have you looked into other providers like Ting?

It seems to support all the LTE bands and the HSDPA bands which AT&T uses. (I just looked at the single sim model)

Thank you for the quick responses, I'm not that versed in Phones and the terminology behind them.

Yes. All you have to do is get a GSM capable phone, take the sim card from your Note 5 and put it in the new device. Your service will continue running regularly.

So got the phone fixed at a repair shop. After I left the store, I noticed the phone just flickering on and off. Went back into the repair shop and they opened it up and saw that motherboard was broken. So now what was a brick, is a semi-brick. Sometimes the device is unresponsive, with the screen flicking on and off, sometimes the phone just turns on and off, and finally the phone just flicks to like on of those screens on TV where you go to a channel and nothing is on with White Noise. Gotta love the Samsung dream!

At this rate of being $200 down the drain and from what I hear to fix the motherboard it's another $500 basically $700 at the end of the long winding road, I might as well cut my losses and just get the Hauwei P9 Pro. Although I have no idea of where to buy and what source is reliable for someone who lives in New York.
