Metro SIM in BLU R1 HD not being seen

I have a friend who is on MetroPCS here in the States and he can't seem to get his SIM card to be seen by this device. It was originally meant as a going-to-college gift but has turned into more of a headache than a gift. Yes, we know that MetroPCS uses T-Mobile's towers and the Blu R1 HD is entirely compatible with it...we just don't know why his SIM won't work. Originally we had to get a SIM adapter for the Nano SIM to make it fit the MicroSIM slots, but regardless of which slot we put it in, the phone is stuck on "Emergency Calls Only".
If anyone could help, that'd be a lifesaver, as he starts school on the 22nd of August.

Things we've tried:
Going through the searching for operators function in settings->more->cellular networks
Entering different values in APNs (settings->more->cell networks->APNs)
Restarting a bagillion times
Changing preferred networks
Repeatedly tapping on which sim slot to use for data and messaging
Going into Data Usage only to not find the Cellular data option next to MetroPCS
