This would be in violation of your Kindle license agreement that you agree to when you start using your kindle.

Also, I think you have it backward... the hack was to get Internet connection from a PC via the USB port without using the Kindle 3G radio.

(or maybe I just haven't heard about the hack you are talking about. However, the international Kindle already has a GSM phone in it.)
