which USB dongle for T-Mobile in USA?

[mcmasterp]

I live outside Philadelphia and I have a joying head unit. I tried searching and bought a dongle from joying that is hsupa. It won't work on T-Mobile I guess. It says restricted access for phone and network. .
I am doing more searching but I find so many ones that look like maybe they will work. I figured I'd ask where the people who would know are, right, crazy of me.

So any suggestions? Which dongle is best? Will any work for me?

you need to edit the APN settings. Search for that

I tried adding the T-Mobile apn settings in with no luck unfortunately. I thought it was because the dongle doesn't have the right bands for my area

Possible....Did you use the playstore app??

yes I first tried adding the mobile settings menu stuff using the app people referenced in other posts. Then I flashed a custom rom onto unit which has the menu built in and still no good
