Russian MTS SIM Card Outside of Russia

Hi,
I have messaged MTS customer support few times already, waited for a while but no reply from them. I bought MTS sim card (Russian phone number for cell phone Samsung) and want to use it in completely different country but still inside Europe. Along sim card I received USB key (sim on usb key also, i think the same usb key i got with sim also has some kind of router on usb installed - not sure) with some weird software called Connect Manager. Installed it and although I haven't changed anything in this weird software, it says ''Cannot find modem'' and/or ''Cannot connect'' (or something similar) and ''Sim card is not ready''. If I click on button ''Connect'' nothing happens.
I also put sim card into my Samsung cell phone. It didn't ask me for pin or puk code but on the phone (on phone's display) it says similar to ''Limited Service'' which basically means no phone server.

I am NOT planning to do any outgoing calls or SMS messages so any suggestion about how to fund the card (top up money) won't be helpful. I want to use it ONLY for incoming calls/sms.

Would anyone please explain how could i use russian sim card (mts phone provider) outside of russia but still inside europe?
