It's free worldwide whispernet access, not web access. Web access doesn't work in Greece, for example (it can access Wikipedia, though, which is very useful too).

From what I can tell, what you get access to depends on where you bought the kindle more than where you are. Did you buy your kindle in Greece?

No, the UK. It depends on where you are, as I can access the web in the UK but not in Greece.

However, last time I was in the UK, they barred access there too, which was odd. It definitely worked the first time I got it.
