Go down the orange shop and pick yourself up a sim only 3G card. Plug in - Register and then download the orange settings to it. It should work fine.
O2 should also work. Plugging in the old card is not enough... you need to setup the phone with the O2 Internet settings. (assuming your card/account allows it)

You just need to input the data settings in the phone for your required network no big deal.
Followe this LINK to setup your phone.

It shouldt take too long normally its instant... what country are you in? make sure you enter your phone number in the international format
eg in the uk if your number is 0700000000
you need to enter +4470000000
Try it again, If it doesnt arrive then post back here and il help u set it up manually. Pretty easy.

I know it's not any help, but just sounds weird they told you it would never work with the internet.
If you can't get it working (and there's no reason why you shouldn't!) then perhaps you can name and shame the shop you got it from!
