I got the same error and figured out how to get around it. Don't use the links above. Login to Metro with your phone line and PIN. Then, go to Phones & devices >> Tablets & devices. I was then able to select the Samsung tablet and added a line and paid $20. Hope this helps you out.

It did not work for me. It said, I could not add a new line.

Seems like a great deal. Do the tablet lines also have auto pay off enabled after 30 days so don't need to do anything. And does the tablet unlock automatically after 180 days?

Which of the 2 would be better? Been looking for a 7-8" tablet with data for streaming mainly.

Assuming this is locked for 180 days? Does that include locked out of TMobile?

If it's locked it will still work on TMO as it's the same network.
This is not true. T-Mobile sims will not work on locked Metro phones

The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is now getting the Android 14 update. If you don't get the prompt, you can manually install the update with Odin.
It has a fairly good 4G LTE modem but lacks Sub-6GHz 5G which is what T-Mobile has been heavily investing into.

I am not a customer so it said to go in to a store to complete this transaction. Does that mean this deal works in store?

As someone new to Metro, can I purchase a Metro phone first by adding a new line and then as an existing customer, purchase the tablet?

You would need to order a new phone online, such as the Galaxy A15 5G, Moto G Stylus 5G, or OnePlus N30 5G, and then you would qualify for the tablet after a month. Probably still cheaper than visiting a store and getting scammed with unnecessary charges and then you have two devices which will unlock 6 months after activation.

FYI, I was a Metro by T-mobile (FKA Metro PCS) customer for about 10 years. I was paying $25/month for unlimited data and an additional $10 to get my Samsung Watch LTE service.

Last month, I purchased a Samsung S24+ phone. Tried to get it on the Metro network. Could not get it to work. Tried to switch back to my old phone. Still could not get it to work. Had to go to a Metro store the next day - after 2 hours at the store - it was still not working. They had to reset my account - still could not get it to work.

After 48 hours of frustration, I had to switch to AT&T, which started working immediately.

Bottom Line.
Super Cheap. Technical support is non-existent. Stay away.

For those of us who are also "new customers" doing the free phone deal (from the other thread), are we allowed this deal after we activated our phone?

I just did, just had to send a two-factor SMS to my new phone to log in.
