Back when I was younger with a limited texting plan, I got a google voice number and managed to get a used kindle keyboard with free 3g for life. Had some wonderful conversations on the kind of solution a broke teenager puts up with. I had to refresh the mobile google voice page in order to see any new messages. It's not really Amazon's fault, I know a relative is receiving a free flip phone through AT&T because the old phone they were using doesn't have 4g LTE support. In that case I think it has to do with being able to call 911. What actually surprises me is that they have kept backwards support through wifi for these devices, to be able to browse the kindle store. Whispersync, at least the part of it used for cloud sync between kindle and your amazon account, seems to be working too.
