If you are talking about the "i" (international) version. Then the wireless should work there... assuming it is a supported country. Contracts are needed between Amazon and the phone provider.

Thanks for your reply bob, I am looking at the US edition with global wireless
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Wireles...pf_rd_i=507846

In the Amazon description it says it works in over 100 countries and if you click the coverage map there is coverage in Australia however when i read people saying that you need two accounts and use gift vouchers i cannot quite see why i would need to go to that trouble.

According to wikipedia "On October 22, Amazon lowered the price on the international version to $259 from $279 and ceased selling new versions of the U.S.-only model" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Kindle
