You can dial if your area still has 3G coverage.

When the device was plugged in, the kernel's core USB functions recognized it was plugged in. This should have been followed by additional messages as a specific driver claimed and configured it. That did not happen, which means that the correct driver is not installed, or the modem has a vendor:product hex ID that is unknown to any driver.

The first thing to try with any USB modem is connect it to a laptop or desktop running a full-feature Linux distribution and confirm that it can connect to the Internet. Then check that machine's logs to see which driver is being used.
