AFAIK, Network Manager has a list of the numbers of many providers - I
haven't used it directly with a USB 3G dongle though.

I bought a MiFi on the 3 network last week. Works out of the box on an
eee PC, and any other device with a wireless network connection for
that matter. The device is a self contained wireless access point and
3G modem in a little puck about the size of a mobile phone. It is a
Huawei E5830 device. Only drawback is that the software to change its
settings is windows only - there is an upgrade to a web interface
coming up.
