Mobile Broadband services that do not check username and password are 
quite common - they rely on authentication via the SIM card instead.

I have not tried to do this with Gnome but one thing I have done with 
other OSs is to put in a dummy username and dummy password.  Something 
as simple as user, and pass, works with some providers I have used.

Perhaps if you enter a dummy value, the connect button will activate?
