You can bypass that by tapping four corners from top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left, do it for two more time in the same order, so total 12 tap, then press volume down, after that you will able to connect to wifi and set up without SIM.

Just FYI, if you want this tablet unlock after 180 days and you don't intent to keep your metro phone number , it's better to activate your tablet with metro sim as soon as possible. Otherwise this could happen:

1. It's time to pay your next metro phone bill, metro will charge you $40, it will charge from the $20 which you have paid for the tablet first, but of course that's not enough, so you still have a $20 due on your account.
2. After this point, you can't activate your tablet since you don't have $20 to pay the first month tablet charge any more...
3. Then your stable could be locked to metro forever since it never get activated on metro.

Turn OFF RAM plus under Device Care-> Memory
ENABLE "Reduce transparency and blue" under Accessibility--> Vision enhancement

This sped up my tablet a lot.
EDIT: A7 lite


As per Samsung: Remove animations: Tap this to negate screen effects from apps if your eyes are sensitive to animations. It can also help speed up your device a little.

This can un-install any app
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.
