There is a SIM slot on my V5505 behind the battery for the UMTS module, but it is unused/empty/no contacts/no UMTS module.

Have you reset the CMOS ?
Remove the battery and the power cord, hold down the power key for a sec.
Put back the battery/power cord and turn it on.
Once your computer turns on enter BIOS setup, load defults, save and exit.
