What carrier? Location? Branded device or Unlocked?

If it's truly an unlocked device, once you put the SIM in, it should pick up a signal and connect. What errors have you encountered. T-Mobile, to me, is the least restrictive carrier of all the big three. give us the steps you have taken so far and where are you stuck at.
Here is the User Guide you can DL and use to help you troubleshoot, if you require it: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/aircard/4114045%20Sprint%20AC771S%20UG%20r2.pdf

If it is an unlocked device, it may not have the correct apns. Put the sim in a phone and register it on the network. Pop it out and try in the device
