I'm using my international K3 (shipped from Amazon USA) here in South Africa, and 3G worked right out of the box. I also understand from a recent holiday in China that there's a thriving trade in 'grey' K3s there (mainly brought in from Hong Kong) because of the 3G connectivity which apparently bypasses the government's draconian censorship. So it's obvious that the free 3G really DOES work globally.

And to contradict one impression in this thread: the access is absolutely NOT restricted just to the Amazon site, at least in my experience. There's a South African user who has even been sending me emails from his (web-based) email address from his K3, and I regularly check news sites like the BBC on mine. As said earlier: works best on text-based sites, no downloads or video possible.
