The Kindle is mine!

Upon first start, Kindle doesn’t register to the wireless (cellular) network [the signal bar is blank]. As it turns out, Kindle might not automatically register itself outside the U.S. The trick is to go into Menu > Settings and type “311”. After a short wait, the device will show a list of cellular carriers. Pick one and wait a bit more [the signal bar turns gray] and Kindle should be registered to the network. Hit Menu again and there should be an EDGE or 3G icon.
