Welcome. This is a Verizon tablet? Have you sought advice from them?

You don't say what tablet you have, have a peek at:
What radio bands do I need on my unlocked phone? | Android Central Paying close attention to the DATA bands as the tablet won't support the voice bands
Here are the specs for :
Ellipsis 7: Verizon Wireless Ellipsis 7 specs
Ellipsis 8: Verizon Wireless Ellipsis 8 specs

Looking at that, you could get an 8 working with a T-Mobile SIM but your AT&T SIM is likely not to work in either. This is a hardware limitation - as the devices were designed specifically for sale by Verizon, the radios to support other services were not included to save on cost.

As noted above, you also won't get voice service, you'll need to set up some kind of VOIP using Hangouts Dialer or some other way to use data for calls since a tablet won't have voice capabilities.

1. Unless you want to pay for the unlock code (see eBay for lots of sources), it has to still be active on Verizon. Then see Device Unlocking Policy | Verizon Wireless.

2. It will make and accept voice and text from AT&T (that's kind of universal for US phones/tablets), but not data (or MMS, which is data).

Hi, welcome!
You would have to call Att to get it unlocked.
