As its a Sprint device, you would need a sprint account sim... Not sure if Sprint is still around lol...If its an unlocked version, then you will need a carrier sim that the device supports.

what specific problem are you having with it? give us specifics so we know what's going on. 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
