1x Data connection (Bell Mobility)

[usib]

I am a Bell Mobility customer who wants to take advantage of their "unlimited 1x" (no EVDO) plan (I don't care about the speed, their prices for EVDO are ridiculous). Now, their site says the phone is preconfigured, and what their rep told me, but the phone wants me to create a connection, asking for a phone # to dial, and so on. I heard about this #777 and the username/password, is that how it should really authenticate? If it is, then how do the "simple" phones (normal mobile browser) able to get 1x data without this? Is the "simple phone's mobile browser" way of authenticating, different from 6700 would use for 1x?
