The Kindle connects in order to register (if it isn't registered already).

The EDGE connection shows no full bars either. I'm not sure what network my TracFone uses. It was issued to me by SafeLink Wireless. From what I understand they use several different carriers. I *think* they use Verizon, US Cellular or perhaps Alltel, but I'm not exactly sure.
As an experiment I drove around town to several locations, parking at each one then rescanning for networks on the Kindle. Only once did a network show up, called "DQ2QD," and it prompted me for a password (I suppose it was some private network).
So I'm not sure whether to keep the Kindle or just return it. I'm leaning more towards the latter.
