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

Anything specific my cousin needs to do with his account other than add a tablet line, if I were to gift him this tablet at the end of the first paid month? He only has one active line from a previous metro cellphone deal right now.

Does he need to use it with data via Metro service? If yes, then he needs to get a data line. If he just wants to use it with Wifi, then he doesn't need any Metro service.

I haven't seen many ppl recover from this to be able to order again. I got this yesterday and had to change my shipping and billing address in order to get the order through.

For some reason, your street address or IP address is blacklisted by Metro. There are things that people had tried that sometimes got their orders through:
* Use different browers, in incognito mode, turn off pop-up blockers.
* Try a different computers at another location (work, friend/family member's house).
* Order from a cell phone using Data.
* Use a different shipping address.

Ordered the phone fine, activated the line, waited 1 day and then the tablet order failed with this err.
I will attempt again from another location/browser/etc. Dont' have another address to use.

How many other phones/tablets did you buy from Metro recently?

From May last year to January this year, I bought from Metro four phones, spaced at least a month apart, using 3 names/credit cards (mine, wife, daughter) all shipped to the same street address. Had no problems at all. During March, I bought 3 iPhones and one tablet, split between two accounts (wife, daughter), after that any additional orders for those two accounts failed with "Contact us to complete your order". I let things cool off until mid-April then ordered another phone and a tablet in my own account. The orders went through without problems.

Wanted to ask if people were successful with activating the tablet with Metro SIM and then using it with a T-mobile SIM afterwards. Saw one DP in this thread, figured there might be more users trying to do the same.

Got the Tab today. It was somewhat slow during the initial setup, but pretty decent afterwards. Screen is ok, not anywhere close to an AMOLED, but useable. Overall, I'd probably not pay $200 for this thing, but for $70 it is great.

Has anyone managed to set up the tablet by tapping the corners without using the SIM card?
