Kindle 2 Wireless

In case anyone else experiences the same issue I did.

My Kindle's wireless wouldn't connect (for >1day). It told me to try again and restart if there is still an issue. None of that worked. I contacted Kindle support, and they gave the following advice:

Visit Kindle's Settings screen by selecting that option from the Home screen menu. When you're on the Settings screen, type 311 on Kindle's keyboard. When prompted to switch wireless providers, select "OK" to see a list of providers in your area. Please allow up to 2 minutes for Kindle to complete a search of available wireless providers.

Select a carrier from the list and wait for Kindle to return to the Setting screen and attempt to connect to Whispernet. If after 2 minutes you are still unable to connect or your signal strength does not improve, please repeat the steps above and select a different carrier from the list

From the list, I selected MTN 3G, and it worked like a charm (it was on "choose automatically" but that didn't seem to work).

Had the same problem.

Thanks for the input.

The Kindle is great, but you would think that when Amazon make an upgrade to the software, they would tell everyone about this problem that may occur. I have spent almost 2 days looking for a solution.

was prob choosing vodacom, which means it had a GPRS connection with 99% timeouts I'm gonna force mine to MTN too.
