Kindle DXG International - Browser restrictions removed by changing address

Hello,

Since short I have a Kindle DXG, while living in Belgium it isn't possible to use my Kindle DXG to browse wikipedia and etc this due to the browsers restriction.

Lately I've read an article on downloadsquad.com explaining that books cost different in different countries due to the roaming costs. But Amazon's public statement was that there can be a price difference but not due to roaming costs. Also that the wireless is complete free and included with the DXG

The trick to get the lowest costs was to change you're living address to an address in Canada.
I've tested this and by surprise, surprise; I can surf on my Kindle, all the functions are working perfectly.

Now I just want to be sure that I don't get a bill from Amazon for the roaming costs. So I've disabled my wireless.
So the question is, does anyone uses this simple hack and what are you're experiences?

Thanks for the answers
