First off, I am surprised it's not pentaband (5 bands) then you wouldn't have to worry.
What you normally look for is the UMTS frequency :
Europe uses 900/2100
AT&T uses 850/1900
T-MobileUSA uses 1700/2100aws
The listing shows WCDMA of 850/900/1900/2100 I think WCDMA is the new 3G frequency designation for UMTS, but I am not 100% sure. It looks like AT&T is covered, but I would have to investigate the term WCDMA more.
