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.

How many lines are active in your plan? I got same message. We are 4 in our plan, which means the maximum amount allowed
Only 1 active line.

The shipping address and the credit card address match.

I had moved in Sept 2023 and could not order phones until about 3 weeks ago. When I was finally able to order a phone, I thought everything was fine , but I guess not.

Yes, but tablets are a different form factor (better for reading, watching videos, etc.). For $20, you can't find anything better (Walmart-branded tablets are total junk from day one).
The Onn tablets are more Android than the Amazon ones. Not total junk.

Why is this? Anyone knows?
"Sorry, you are not eligible to add a new line. Please contact support to discover the reason for ineligibility. 1-888-8metro8"
Edit: I ordered it. It worked.

MediaTek MT8768T, the performance is so bad that it's much slower than a 4 years old Amazon Fire HD tablet?

Anyone can comment whether this will be useable with T-Mobile Postpaid service without having to wait 6 months?

Idiot Metro By T-Mobile did 7 charges and then 7 credits on my Double Cash card when I tried ordering on the website.

Trying chat did not work.

The agent wasn't able to get the order through.

She was getting the error message "Order authorization has failed due to Customer Protection Review. Transaction cannot be processed and will be aborted. "
Got the same message over the last few weeks. Called my credit card company and no protection/block on the card. Metro online ordering system sucks.

both are trash but the TCL is more trash, the samsung has 4 gbs the tcl has 3 gigs and both are pretty slow.

Best buy is to buy and sell for like 120 on Offerup or Facebook, don't even open it.

Had the same issue yesterday, spoke to rep they said name or address may not be matching . So I updated the account name on the profile history page . And then placed the order it asks security qns and then order was placed.

It's much cheaper already -- $95 brand new. Although it is only Wifi. But the Metro one we don't know if it will unlock anyway.

I got a Stylus 5G, then after I received it and activated it, I added an iPhone 11 for $40, it's been shipped and waiting to get it delivered, so I'm wondering if that's why I get the "sorry, you are not eligible to add a new line" message for this tablet
yes...activate that phone and metro will allow you to add tablet
