Normally, you would get that message only if you had bought the WiFi-only Kindle. Since you have the 3G one, it's a bit strange.
When there's no WiFi available, the 3G/WiFi Kindle will use the 3G .
Also, you didn't say whether you were outside the U.S. when this happened, and that message would occur even then only when there was no AT&T-involved 3G available for your Kindle browser in that area.
It could be that there's no AT&T reception in your friend's area.
