Your wife's Storm needs to have its PIN released from VZW, and it needs to be unlocked in order to be used on AT&T. Once that is done, this thread tells how to get everything working.

Hey, all you need to do is have the phone unlocked which you can do through a number of websites for about 5 to 10 bucks. Then you will set the network to gsm and 2G, it will not work with 3G but will work with 2G. Then you will be able to use the phone with ATT,T-Mobile or any other GSM carrier.
