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.

Btw - I found the same TCL tablet for sale on eBay, new and sealed, and seller said he got them via the same deal 8 months ago but thinks they're still locked because he only maintained 1 month of service. Ordered one, and hoping I will be able to unlock it since it's been 8 months.

If this works out, it may be worth finding these and buying those if they're >6mo old, so you can have an unlocked tablet off the bat. Mine only cost $55 which is nearly the same as a month of phone and tablet service.

How many lines are active in your plan? I got same message. We are 4 in our plan, which means the maximum amount allowed
Where did it say the max plan allowed is 4?

Truth is these aren't even worth $20. You're better off buying one of the $0 phones with $40 first month service. Sure the phones aren't tablet sized, but at least you can use them without wanting to smash it to pieces.

Do not buy one of these tablets.

I just got a new samsung phone and installed the Samsung TV app.. pretty slick for free and might work on sammy tablet too. Or in chrome with your samsung account or you can use chromecast with it. ... Thinking of pausing Youtube TV on the football off season.

Sorry, you are not eligible to add a new line. Please contact support to discover the reason for ineligibility. 1-888-8metro8
Did you get a Metro phone and you haven't yet activated it? If so, that's why. I was waiting on an iPhone 11 i got for $40 by adding a line to my Moto Stylus 5G phone, and since I hadn't yet activated the iPhone 11, it wouldn't let me get the tablet for $20. Once I received the iPhone 11, I activated it, and then went back to get the tablet and bam, I was able to add it to cart and buy it for $20 no problem

I tried ordering the A7 tablet using my prepaid account from the Samsung A15 deal. No dice. I got the dreaded "Sorry contact store to complete the order"...

Is there a lot of bloatware included? My Galaxy phone from Metro was full of it. Weeping
For Samsung devices from Metro (or any other US carrier), you need to flash U1 firmware when possible or set the CSC to XAA if you can't. I can flash the Galaxy A15 5G to U1 firmware and it removes the bloatware but on the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite I must set the CSC to XAA and keep the SIM card removed.

If you want all the bloatware after you've unlocked your tablet, simply insert a SIM from each carrier and let it reboot and install everything 😆

Where can I find the U1 firmware for Metro's A15? Sammobile only has India's version listed.

Is it confirmed I only have to pay $20 for one month? I'm at checkout and it says $20 due monthly.

It's only $20 due monthly if you want to continue paying monthly for the LTE service. There's no contract so if you don't way to continue paying for future months of service, you don't have to.
