Update

I just received an update from a zzzPhone representative regarding U.S. incompatibility, he says:

"Dear Brandon,
We are aware of the issue. There is actually no way to get it to work. Due to a mix up at the factory, the incorrect phone was shipped. I apologize for the inconvenience. We will be shipping you a prepaid return label as well as a new phone shortly. Thank you for your patience."

I'll keep you updated...
