From what I've read, it uses AT&T global roaming, so it will use whatever network that AT&T have an agreement with. I suspect the Kindle is only capable of using 2100MHz for 3G; where I am at the moment, the Optus/Vodafone 3G network is on 900MHz only, NextG is 850MHz only, and the Kindle has fallen back to using the EDGE network, so it's pretty slow. Back in Melbourne, it switches to 3G. -- World Wireless Prepaid Internet plans: http://worldmobilenet.com/
