According to Samsung's website, the device is only available on US Cellular/ Alltel. Making this device a CDMA only phone. There is no sim card in this device. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SCH-U440ZWAUSC
This phone is a CDMA phone if you don't see an IMEI #. IMEI numbers are only for GSM services (phones that take a SIM Card).
GSM cellular companies include T-Mobile & AT&T. CDMA companies include Alltel (now Verizon Wireless), Sprint (includes iDEN network features as well) and Boost Mobile (another company that uses CDMA technologies).
And as far as the other number, it's more than likely an MEID number (basically a hex that probably begins with an "A" followed by a series of alpha numerics.)
google tells me
is a standard for high speed wireless broadband. The acronym is short for "Evolution, Data Only"
so from this i can asume you shouldnt be connected to that network, as it is for High Speed Wireless Broadband (ie Mobile datacards, and wireless internet boxes for PCs.)
if you go into the network options for your phone, you should be able to scan for other networks and connect to them.
most cellphones support at least one of the following network protocols,
GPRS, EDGE, 3G , 2G, CDMA - if you can change to any of those you should be ok.
Right click on My Computer (it's on the Start Menu), and select "Properties". Click on the "Hardware" tab, and then the "Device Manager" button. The PCMCIA bridge should be listed, with a circle with slash through it, just right click on it, and select "Enable".
