By the way, is there an easy way to find which Starbucks locations are actually serving wi-fi via registered Starbucks cards?

Luckily, phoning in to cancel T-Mobile is a piece of cake…or at least it was for me. Rep was very pleasant, asked no questions, and processed request quickly.

Gah! After going through the registration (the server seems to be really slow), it eventually told me:

———–
There was an error processing your request, please try again.

We found recently used Card(s) registered to your Starbucks.com account.

Kevin, did it work for you?

Now I have to really think hard about keeping my Sprint EVDO plan.
