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.

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!
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

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.
port in required.
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.

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?
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.

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

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.

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