Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G tablet at Metro for $49.99. Add it as a second line with minimum $20 data plan. I'm just ordered mine few minutes ago. it was showing OOS until last night but it became available this morning. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. don't really need it but why not at this price. Total paid $75 with $20 data plan and $4.xx taxes.

FYI - for those not aware - you'd need to have an existing Metro account to be able to purchase this tablet (or any other device as a second/additional line. Like any other Metro phones, this tablet purchase is prepaid, and so you are not locked into any kind of contract. You only need to pay for the tablet and first month of data plan. Then you are free to cancel the service, keep the tablet just as a regular wifi device. This is my first time buying a Metro tablet but I'm still hoping it will unlock after 6 months just like any other Metro phone.

Warning ? ️ - try not to go to Metro stores. They are in general scammers and will try their best to treat you like a fool and steal your money by forced up selling and forced mandatory accessories, exorbitant taxes, and insurance with or without your consent. Try ordering online. You've been warned ??????
Also, if you buy online, there's no activation fees and tax applies to the discounted price. You'll save yourself good cash and respect and a way better deal if you order online.

I think you should put not 49.99 price in the title but 69.99 as a new line of 20 bucks is required.
Saw it added to their website yesterday but it was not in stock.
Called to order through customer service but order didn't go through.

Tried again on the website and was able to order one just now.

Better than buying the Costco WI-FI only version for double the price!
Don't ask me how I know this...


You're getting that reply because your browser couldn't connect to the authentication server Metro uses.


Could be an adblocker, host file, etc. Or even your ISP could be doing it.

The simple answer is to turn off any and all adblockers, script blockers etc.

When everything is working correctly you'll see three challenge questions to authenticate your identity.

And before you say it, yes they do this even if you've already logged in with your Metro account to purchase the tablet. It seems they do the three challenge questions on every order regardless of whether you're already a customer or not.

To sum it up, you need to find what's blocking the connection to that authentication server. I found that turning off all adblocking etc, and opening an incognito tab on my phone, which had WIFI off, and connecting through my mobile network fixed this problem several times.

Good luck

Quote from sah0724 :
I mean Samsung just wanted a cheaper alternative to the iPad out there the a7 and 8 were trash and the s series is too expensive usually so I see the plan and purpose but the tablet has many flaws.

1. 15 watt charging max
2. Touch issues
3. Underpowered processor
4. Me personally it's taller than the iPad 9 and a kinda wide it's shaped very weird. Looks like tjrt just wanted something to compete without thinking it through.

Funny how the 3 year old 9th gen w/ a roughly 5 year old processor still sells like hotcakes at $250.

Samsung's best efforts wouldn't be enough since Apple has too strong of a budget offering despite the aging design and older port.

ok.

can new customer, when PI, get a $40 plan for a15?

Yes
For new customer it's $40.
For existing customers there is multi line discount which drops the A15 to $30 with port in.

i see. thanks.

was looking to get a n30.
i would rather not port in. rather get a new #.
but difference is huge.

port in: 0 phone +40 plan
new #: 20 phone +65 plan

i guess i will port in.

once i am current customer...the a15 can be free ...$30 w PI......what abt new number? what is cost for that?

International model Sam tablets have native call n text (on some the auto call recording works too)- i would get one + tolerate the tablet line price increase, if those features weren't deprecated on this side of the pond; "sometimes with other manufacturers" we get lucky and they work out of the box until the first carrier update that sometimes also kills incoming SMS.
As is just Incoming SMS will work, outgoing MAYBE, no calls- for this the only somewhat decent options are Doogee brand and some ACP tablets.
You can't even go to a local Sam store- they only carry wifi models usually, leaving the cellular model sales to the big carriers.

Read some online reviews and the biggest negative that stuck out was that the tablet only lasts 7-8 hours after charging to 100%. Enough for me to hesitate, but I'm going to go ahead and bite the bullet and hope I'm not disappointed.

Do you know how long after plan expiration can you still extend it? Mine expired in Nov of last year. I'm not able to log back in with my number and pin. Says information provided does not match our records.

If I remember correctly, you're deprioritized but not throttled. So if you're in a busy T-Mobile area you may see much slower speeds after the priority data allotment is used up.

Hi
Can you suggest Samsung intl model that supports native call recording without installing external app. I did buy a Samsung intl model from amazon but no call recording in that model. Thanks

There's a chance you won't have all US bands.

The only countries that permit it are:
Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Israel, Laos, Libya, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tunisia, Ukraine, Vietnam.

Search xda forums for samsung change CSC (country code).

FYI i noticed Doogee tablets lately have decent specs & native call/text. I'm gonna pay a local Asian a visit to see if there's a viable solution on whatever brand. I'll post here.

Got a shipping confirmation that only included my street number and name of street but not city and zip. I clicked the tracking and UPS shows the city I am in. Fingers crossed lol.

I think your number would no longer be associated with your sim and your sim would have been disabled.

It's not ideal, but usable. I'm way more bewildered by latest MBPs with 8GB of shared memory.
