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

I ordered 3.22 pm EST. Got Shipping notice today at 3.48 pm.
I saw some open box and review videos online before buying.
11 inch screen.
90 Hz,
Quad speakers
Aluminium body
5G GSM Model. My only tablet is/was HP touchpad. The reviewer on youtube suggested samsung support their tablet longer than others. so any issues would be fixed in future updates.
I am not looking for intense gaming. just reading and browsing and online videos.

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.
None of the call recording apps on Play store work on the new versions of Android as Google has completely blocked call recording

Ordered tablet on Fri 4 5 24 . Got shipping confirmation today Sunday at 4pm.Immediately went online and activated. Activation was confirmed with a new phone number. My acct was suspended on Friday but it allowed me to extend 72 hours which will be Mon April 8.

But I will receive shipment only on 4/9 By that time account will be suspended again. Then I will not be able to activate the tablet. So to be cautious I activated before receipt of shipment. Here is the link for activation if you have received shipment confirmation'

Quote from MediumMosley :
So I was able to sign up for a new eSIM $35 line then get the tablet for $72.99 ($49 tablet + $20 tablet data + $3 tax). Can I just call or message Metro once I get the tablet in hand and request a refund for the $35 cell line and get my account cancelled? I legit don't get any cell service at my house regardless of carrier so it's a real reason to cancel the line.

I don't think it is easy to get refunded for prepaid service even if you don't have better coverage of service...

I actually asked the Rep on the online chat and she said the same, she said I could ultimately submit a request for a refund via the credit card if Metro isnt able to.

Did anyone's shipment actually move? Mine still says "on the way to UPS" since Saturday.

I thought it would have reached UPS by this morning.

How long did it take to even get a "on the way" message? I ordered on Saturday, received a confirmation email, and that's it. I've only been a Metro customer for 6 months(with that last free phone deal a lot of us got) and it seems they don't have order history on accounts, etc?

Ordered April 5 1:30PM
Shipment email April 6 2AM

UPS scan timestamp
April 5 9:50PM Package is in transit to UPS facility
April 5 10:30PM Shipper created a label

"Label created" timestamp is AFTER "package is in transit"?!!

You should know the difference between RAM and ROM. Hell, a cell phone, tablet, or even computer with 64GB of RAM is GREAT.
