Unlocked Mifi issues

I finally got my Vodafone r203-z unlocked. It accepts a new sim but won't connect.
On the front of the Mifi it will recognise the new sim(EE sim). But when I turn the mifi on and it goes to the Vodafone dashboard, there is a red 'x' by the 'status' with T-Mobile by 'network'. So it is recognising the new sim, but just can't connect. I have read something about APN settings but have no idea if that would help.
I thought when I got my MIFI unlocked it would just work :(

    Found the solution-
    Go to mobile broadband/connections/change account type to custom and enter:
    apn:everywhere
    username:eesecure
    password:secure
    protocol:pap
    number:*99#
