True, but IF AND ONLY IF a WiFi connection is available. When there is no WiFi and you are relying on a 3G connection you won't recieve things sent to the *@free.kindle.com" address. The OP was looking for a method that was both free and via 3G.

The solution discussed here involves a custom webpage and the necessary webserver configuration. The proper server configuration is what allows Kindles to download directly from their web browser from sites like Project Gutenberg and my site for a small book that I publish for another author.
