"Settings," then "311" - Int'l Kindle searches for wireless providers in the area

Just learned this. If this is old information, then simply ignore.

I learned this on an Amazon Kindle page when a customer was looking for help.

Go to "Settings Page" and from there press "311". Apparently, an application is opened up that searches for all wireless providers in the area.

I came across a better explanation of the "311" command here when used with a 3g Kindle you can choose the 3g network you use.

Just remember that if you set a specific location to use for connecting to 3G and then go out of range you will not have the connection anymore, be sure to switch the 311 page settings to automatic if you do go in and change them. (Also, on the K3 remember you have to type Alt+EQQ)
